Rise To Ashes

A project for University that turned into a passion project and what helped me get through the pandemic. I wish this could have been performed but at least I live in an age where computers are available for midi interpretations.

Program Note:
Without Air is based on a short story from Italo Calvino’s Cosmicomics. In this collection, each story takes as its premise a scientific conceit ranging from astronomy and physics to geologic time. My favorite is set on Earth before the atmosphere had formed. Calvino describes this theoretical landscape as an undifferentiated grey expanse (much like our Earth’s moon), occasionally transfigured by bursts of color resulting from the contrail of a meteorite filtering the Sun’s light as it passes by. I love Calvino’s fanciful contrast of grayness and color, and have sought to render that opposition in music with dryness and resonance. The piece begins with short, brittle sounds: pizzicato strings, high harp, and a consort of wooden non-pitched percussion instruments. Over the course of the piece, small bursts of resonance accumulate into increasingly sustained music, culminating in a sonorous climax and coda. These final sections cast each of the musical ideas from the beginning in a new, resonant light.
