about

Manneke’s intention and motivation to write a substantial piano work were partly inspired by six eminent musicians, to each of whom he dedicated
a part: Ralph van Raat [I], Geoffrey Madge [II], Kelvin Grout [III], Hannes Minnaar [IV], Jelena Bazova [V] and
Daniël Kramer [VI].
Over time, Daan Manneke has designed a composition concept that has fascinated and inspired him for many years. The Archipel concept: ‘islands’ located close to each other, each with their individual manner of existence. Through exchanges and connections, they sometimes more or less lose their individuality and acquire a hybrid character. This osmosis can generate new properties and dynamics. Conversely, islands can become isolated, decay or disappear entirely.
Grote Archipel consists of six parts, which can also be performed separately. Rather than a decorative-illustrative atmospheric drawing, it is an abstract work based on universal situations. Meaningful metaphors include approaching-disappearing, disintegrating-connecting, status quo, variety and, always, the iso-rhythmic clock loops. Manneke’s key motto is s p a c e.
Grote Archipel is a tribute to the Province of Zeeland: Luctor et Emergo!
