coradh (bending)
instrumentation | flexible orchestra & audience singing, strings minimum
date | 2021
duration | 5'+
premiere | October 14th, 2021 by ensemble reflektor @ Lüneburg, DE during the 2021 ultraBACH Festival
note | coradh is gaelic for ‘bending’ or ‘turning’ | I’ve been long interested in the experience of sonic friction through the bending of unisons and octaves, especially the physical sensations when vocalizing. This piece works to keep its materials and spaces fairly simple, facilitating space for audience participation in the creation of rich, varied, spontaneous musical texture and color. I hope to participate myself soon.
