some questions:

When does sound become performance?
                Do we make it so by listening?
What captures our ear?     Why?

        What material is available in what
                                        actually happens?



















                     Texture Triad #1  



Can sonic textures have direction and move akin to harmonies? 

Listen for the speaking interlocutor.

              7’ in the rose reading room  


Is there music to be found in the relationships/differences between time and rhythm?

The score for this piece is in two parts: a field recording made in the Rose Reading Room at the New York Public Library. The second part is a set of instructions, guiding performers to notice the musical elements of the recording and ‘embody’ them on
their intrument.
