PROGRAM NOTES
CAPTCHA originated with an assignment I was given as a participant in the American Opera Projects (AOP) Composers & The Voice program. Throughout the year, we wrote a variety of arias and songs and were given various "challenges." Some of the challenges included using no more than four lines of text, using found text, using prose, and also trying to avoid the passagio (a term used in classical singing to describe where different voice ranges cross over, for example, where the chest voice and head voice cross). I neglected to incorporate any of the challenges into previous pieces, and I only had one song or aria left, so I had to incorporate all of the remaining challenges into a single piece.

For found text, I decided to use CAPTCHA texts. The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University. A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that only humans can pass. For example, humans can read distorted text presented as a graphic, but current computer programs cannot. To find interesting words and phrases, I spent many tedious hours in front of my computer loading CAPTCHA texts. Actually, what I ended using are reCAPTCHA texts, which are derived from a free version of CAPTCHA that uses combinations of real words from scanned books that need human confirmation and gibberish text.

I initially wrote one song entitled CAPTCHA, but later decided to compose an entire song cycle that incorporates the original song. Each songs uses a few key words (the few that are actually real words and phrases) as a springboard. I attempt to phonetically interpret the other words and phrases that don’t make sense, infusing emotion where none exists. Ultimately, my goal is to create an emotionally moving experience, despite the nonsensical nature of the words.

A Carousel Ride

Alone

Perpetua

Passages

Spending days 
With the Getaway
Railways 
Begin to fade 
And I'm loving you 
Before the days break
Lets stay all day 
See what we can make

We could run away
But what would that change
Chose not to stay 
Like what God arranged
Shady ways 
To spend the night alone
In a daily haze
Consumed by my phone

There's no way she says 
As she looks across the room
It's too late I know 
What she means to you 
You could never know how
I couldn't live without
So, I'll wait
For you I couldn't choose

Grey days
Fade into night
We find ways 
To be alright 
Corners bear 
From left to right 
Lets stay all day 
Forget the fight

There's no way she says
As she looks across the room
It's too late I know
What she means to you 
You could never know how
I couldn't live without
So I'll wait
For you I couldn't choose

We Find Ways
