about

These pieces were prompted by the occasion of a fashion show. Kathrin von Rechenberg is a haute couture designer whose shows I have provided music for many time. Always such a pleasure. This particular show was held as the Hong-en Guan Temple in the heart of Beijing 2012. The Max applications were written anticipating beats and types of Asian melody appropriated and distilled through my various lenses over the years. I had spent time in Siem Reap Cambodia a few years earlier and this still today resonates with me. The show occasioned a dialogue I had wanted to pursue for a long time; the conjunction of complex texture, noise and simple but nuanced melody. I know now in retrospect that melody is one of the main carriers of emotional narrative. It was an obvious step for me to attempt to imagine sound with the force to resonate over ages. All pitch-tracking flute driven Max application composition played in an improvisational manner.
