PÁNGGAS, [Hiligaynon] meaning to sow, is not only an agricultural practice, but also an act of creating, and nurturing something -in hopes that someday, it will become fruitful. The creation of the Glissotar is one of these sown cultural treasures: developed, and nurtured, that it might continue to live on, and adapt with the surge of Contemporary Music.

 

This short piece is composed of short aphorisms -exploring new abilities of the Glissotar -all the while envisioning a glimpse of the myriad possibilities that will be created by this wonderful new instrument.

​

Pánggas was premiered last 31 May 2021 at Hold Street Reformed Church, Budapest, Hungary, performed on Glissotar by Dániel Váczi at the Érintés [Reach] Concert as hosted by the Sonus Foundation.  Supported by Hungarian Cultural Fund, Hungarikum Committee, Ministry of Agriculture, District V Local Government.
