silver as catalyst in organic reactions (PRINT)
For solo baroque violin with classical bow
Dur: circa 6’
This piece marks a point in time in my composition thinking in which I was grappling with expanding notions of formal construction of music, with intuition – a kind of shaping of raw material. In this case, the mass spectrometry data and its subsequent electronic synthesis acts as the raw material – pages and pages and pages of notes that were cut away, edited, and shaped into the complete piece. This transcription from data to sound, sound to notation, and eventually back to sound again is something that manifest in a few other works of a similar period. However, I was not really thinking about transcription per se when constructing them, rather, thinking about ways of translating the idea of “theme and variation” into abstractions. This piece also marks a shift toward identifying the relationship between the natural world and its inherent complexity to sounding structures, and the energy output from those structures manifesting in the physical world; to move to and from abstraction in a meaningful way.
