placing ceremony
instrumentation | for mobile flexible ensemble
date | 2018, revised 2022
duration | 5'+
premiere | Fall 2018 by UnTwelve at Slate Gallery in Chicago, IL
note | placing ceremony engages with elements of diasporic identity. From expanding harmonic and spatial structures, the piece works to both metaphorically and physically displace/replace sound. Parallels exist between the open instrumentation and the multifaceted experience of colonized peoples in the process to reclaiming heritage.
