a sequence of electronicmoments that ultimatelywhisper away

About

About the work

This work is structured in sections, each presenting different combinations of brass instruments interacting with an electronic component. The familiar sound of the brass is deliberately destabilized—such as by inserting a toy squeaker into the horn or employing mutes that radically alter the instruments’ timbre.

These techniques create a dynamic interplay between the electronics and the acoustic instruments. The piece moves from harsher electronic textures toward a calmer atmosphere, gradually introducing the human voice and breath as compositional elements.

These increasingly organic materials soften the work’s earlier instability before the brass and fixed media gradually recede, fading away into a whisper.
