attack

February 4th, 2011

Spring 2011 New Music Concert: “Sounds New” @ Lee Chapel, Stetson University in DeLand, FL.

My iTunes library is a wealth of sound material waiting to be tapped. For attack, I explored the possibilities of using this diverse set of songs as a starting point for a sound composition. Using only a short segment from the very beginning of each song (in other words, the “attack”), I have built a piece that is in no way a derivative and yet is in every way a derivative. This contradiction is at the heart of my concept for this piece.
