about

"Closure" emerged from improvisation experiments in January of 2005 where GKO sought to find three almost perfectly dissonant chords. After five weeks of work these dissonant chords were starting to sound so good it seemed like perfect harmony, a strange and charming world of music. This perhaps proves at last that all chords are beautiful when expressed with a melody that ties them together. Closure is a very emotional work, despite this theoretical description.

To finish the piece GKO used a section from an unpublished piece written in 1998 after the sudden death of his close friend Tómas Gröndal.
