NOTES 

Fever Dream (2024) – Eric Chasalow

Lately, I have been writing most of my own texts and using them as the starting point for each piece. In writing Fever Dream, I wanted to create the sense of an internal dialog, with words pouring out into breathless, winding lines; one thought leading organically to the next with increasing urgency. The poem starts with the description of a repeatedly dreamed vision and moves out into a stream of interpretations and self-inspections, becoming more and more desperate to understand experience and feelings. Any ability to resolve things, ultimately, is complicated by our post-pandemic context.  

Fever Dream was commissioned by Talea Ensemble for soloists Sharon Harms and Adrian Morejon.

Fever Dream (2024) Chasalow - Talea Ensemble

This work was improvised using sliders and button controls in a MaxMSP patch, the sliders and buttons controlling parameters to music-generating algorithms I devised and programmed in rtcmix~.  The rtcmix (real-time cmix) object runs in a loop whose input variables are adjusted in real-time. I call it comprovisation.
The parameters control such features as harmony/melody (pitch material) as well as texture, rhythm, tempo, and so forth.

Undertow was commissioned by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation for the 2018 Delian Academy for New Music and Hugo Queirós. It premiered at the 2018 Delian Academy for New Music in Mykonos, Greece. This performance features Hugo Queirós on bass clarinet.

Special thanks to Heather Roche for sharing her amazing extended technique repositories (heatherroche.net), to Derek Emch for providing extended techniques feedback and recordings, and to Hugo Queirós for helping refine the final version.
