Richard Valitutto Performs 'Sonata No. 1 - II.' by Carl Vine

'Let it Drip' by Matt Blitzer

'Kpatsa' by Alfred Ladzekpo

Coasting along boundaries. Creating and maintaining balance between structurally and organically connected, yet competing, systems. This piece begins with the creaks and groans of a ship. The processing and layering of these sounds transforms them into the sharp crackles of the coral reef off the coast of Barbados. The reef's delicate voice is then slowly overtaken by the rumbling cosmos of our own cruise liner, the MV Explorer. The premiere of this piece took place onboard the MV Explorer, allowing the final section of the piece to fade into the physically present rumbles of the ship.
