Building Notation
This piece uses the concept of architecture as a generator of sound. The layout of Angels Gate campus, in conjunction with chance elements introduced during the performance, will direct the duration, timber, texture, and general quality of sounds produced with stringed instruments, amplifiers, analog synthesizers, and the human voice. Size and shape of buildings, arrangement of doors and windows, spaces between buildings, circulation paths: all these will play a compositional role. As performed, the piece will shape a psychological space that reflects back through the built environment to the conceptal space that dictated its building.
