Program Notes a crowd of twisted things (2011) Duration: 7 minutes
The memory throws up high and dry A crowd of twisted things; A twisted branch upon the beach Eaten smooth, and polished As if the world gave up The secret of its skeleton, Stiff and white.
– T. S. Eliot, from Rhapsody on a Windy Night a crowd of twisted things (2011) is a compact rumination on the slippery nature of memory. In it, a handful of molecular ideas (chords, trills and fragmentary melodies in the piano; angular pizzicati, glissandi and microtonal wanderings in the violin) are used to construct a disjointed, non-linear musical narrative. The key mechanisms shaping the flow of the music are three categories of repetition. Some materials are reiterated precisely, abruptly halting the progress of the music for an arbitrary length of time. Other materials are repeated in an approximate fashion, subjecting each repetition to minute variations and creating a sense of gradual progress that is blind to its ultimate goal. Finally, previously stated musical thoughts may emerge unexpectedly, interrupting the current thought and causing regressions that temporarily resist the immediate direction of the music. Ideas in the piece, like human memories, are exposed, transformed or suppressed in unforeseen ways.
This piece was composed for pianist, Ann Yi and violinist, Benjamin Kreith, who gave the premier in San Francisco on the Old First Concert Series.
Plastic Moment (2016) Duration: 7 minutes As I began composing this piece, I invented the term, “plastic moment” to encapsulate my fundamental concepts, only to find that structural engineers thought of it first. In structural engineering, a plastic moment New Music DePaul • November 4, 2016 program notes is when a load becomes great enough to overcome the rigidity of a structure, causing it to deform. This is a partial explanation of what happens in this piece. In my original thinking, this term denoted the mutability of musical material, as well as its fabricated origins.
Both of these meanings operate in this piece. I constructed the music from repetitive patterns that are subjected to musical stress of various types: time, pitch, timbre and loudness. As these forces instigate micro-variations in each pattern, the structure is gradually nudged toward a threshold of viability. Beyond each threshold, the music must change, sometimes catastrophically, always irrevocably.
Many thanks to James Baur, who requested this piece and graciously answered my questions about the guitar.
Devil Madrigals (2013) Duration: 8 minutes Developed in collaboration with poet, Anna Maria Hong, the text for Devil Madrigals is a single, unified poem that can be split into two relatively autonomous poem-fragments. Throughout the text, the idea of “doubles” is suggested through the juxtaposition of formal poetic devices and colloquialisms, and through self-referential images of doubling and splitting. In this piece, the bifurcation of the text is reflected musically through the use of opposing pairs of elements: high vs. low and left vs. right in the voices, pitch vs. noise in the bass flute, and the splitting of the “pure” tone of the piano into its spectral components. Originally composed for the Chicago-based Fonema Consort, the instrumentation of Devil Madrigals refers to the model of late-17th / early-18th century concertato madrigals, with the prepared piano providing a microtonal continuo and the obbligato bass flute alternately commenting on or ignoring the material sung by the vocalists.
My thanks to Anna Maria Hong for the collaborative spirit and ingenious words she brought to this project. New Music DePaul • November 4, 2016 program notes Artifact (2013-5) Duration: 12 minutes In several of my recent works, I steal ideas from music of the past; in Artifact, I steal from myself. This piece is constructed using the preparations and some materials appropriated from my Devil Madrigals. These materials, such as the chords heard at the beginning, the microtonal harmonics in the middle, and the opening fragment of the long melody heard later in the piece, are recontextualized to become the basis for this piece. Using the constraints of the piano preparations as a guide, I stripped away the polyphonic layers that originally surrounded these musical artifacts in Devil Madrigals, in order to more fully reveal the microtonal potential of the piano.
Simulacra (2006) Duration: 5 minutes Simulacra contains too many things for its modest dimensions. It is a brief study of identity and transformation that was my first project following two transformative events in my own life: completion of my graduate studies, and the birth of my daughter.
The piece begins with the presentation of six motives that are juxtaposed in terse, mosaic-like formations: 1. explosive snap-pizzicati 2. rapid rising figures 3. very rapid murmuring figures 4. distant microtonal descending glissandi 5. simple groups of chords 6. much slower, expressive material containing small echoes
The plethora of ideas in the piece is designed to initially heighten the individuality of each motive. Over the course of the piece, each of these materials is subjected to radical processes of variation. They are broken apart, distorted, reconfigured and encrusted with ornamentation in ways that eventually degrade their identifying features. As these transformations progress, elements from each of the ideas begin to bleed into other ideas, leading to an uneasy point of convergence. This final state of the music is an amalgamation of all six types of material subsumed into the slow, expressive domain of the sixth motive. New Music DePaul • November 4, 2016 program notes This piece was composed for and premiered by guitarist, Magnus Andersson and is dedicated to my daughter, Sonya.
Archaeology (2015) Duration: 15 minutes In music, the past is inescapable. The influence of history is sometimes exposed at the surface of a work, at others, deeply subsumed into a synthetic whole, or may be present through its own negation. I find myself becoming increasingly self-aware of the traces of musical history as I continue to refine the form and language of my own music.
Among my works, Archaeology addresses this issue in a relatively direct manner – not through borrowed or derived materials, but through formal references and procedural conceits adapted (but not adopted!) from past models. The design of the piece is based on the use of refrains to delineate large sections of music, such as in Baroque ritornello forms. In this piece, however, the ritornello is conceptualized as a type of music with highly variable content, rather than as recognizable chunk of music that returns in more or less altered ways.
Initially heard as very brief fragments of mercurial, angular music each ritornello contrasts strongly with the surrounding episodes. As the piece progresses, the boundaries between ritornello and episode erode, allowing the ritornello material to become the principal focus of the music in the final third of the piece. Shards from earlier sections of the piece are periodically embedded in the fabric of the music, artifacts of past musical systems.
Archaeology was composed for Earplay in celebration of their 30 years of making outstanding New Music in the Bay Area. It is dedicated especially to Peter Josheff, Ellen Ruth Rose, Karen Rosenak and Mary Chun, in friendship and gratitude.
