[Note: Live performance. Noise from the hall is heard in the beginning. The piece starts with no-pitch bowing.]
A fundamental idea of “In a World of Binary Perspectives” stems from the notion of binary scaling, zero/one interpretations that one often confronts as life goes on. Composing a new piece is equivalent to creating a small new world. I decided to put some binary ideas into the tiny sonic sphere and then process them over time. The categorically dichotomized ideas stand opposed to one another at times, but are interconnected at some points and then even conceptually assimilated and become indistinguishable from one another. “In a World...” is planned as part of a trilogy for violoncello solo and closely related to the two other pieces of mine, “Re:” and “Montage: A Tale”.

Premiered in Seoul, South Korea
Performance: Hee Young Lim

살아가면서 종종 마주하게 되는, 0과 1로 나누어 현상들을 해석하거나 바라보는 체계에 대해 생각하기 시작했다. 새로운 음악을 만드는 것은, 마치 나만의 작은 세상을 만드는 것과 같은 느낌이다. 이 작은 세계 안에 두 개의 개념들을 놓고, 풀어가 보기로 했다. 두 개의 카테고리로 갈라놓은 아이디어들은 서로 경계를 만들기도 하나, 연결되며 어느 순간 동화되기도 한다. 이 곡은 수 년 전 썼던 ‘Re:’, ‘Montage: A Tale’과 연결되는 것으로, 음악적 아이디어와 진행 양상에 있어 밀접한 관계가 있다.

In a world of binary perspectives (2021)

Aaron Myers-Brooks is a composer, educator, and performer of diverse interests who comes to musical creativity by way of rock and metal’s avant-garde. Born and raised in Greenville, North Carolina by visual artist parents, he developed an interest in creativity at a young age, first via drawing as a child, and later with 4-track home recording during his teenage years, subsequently finding a home in the contemporary classical and DIY rock worlds during college. He is currently active as a Pittsburgh based composer and teacher, and as a guitarist in math metal bands AutoReplicant and Monochromatic Residua, and filk (fiction folk) duo Familiar.

 

Aaron composes in various styles, but always attempts to maintain a quirky and exciting approach to rhythmic energy in his music. Much of his recent work focuses on microtonal electronic and electric guitar writing through digital technology, alternate tunings, and on 17-notes-per-octave guitar. 

Aaron currently serves as Teaching Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. As an educator, Aaron has largely focused on teaching electronic music and music theory, recently developing Pitt’s first Ableton beat-making course and assisting in the development of an undergrad music theory curriculum which integrates a broad variety of musics and perspectives.

 

Aaron has written pieces at the request of the North Carolina New Music Initiative, Collide-O-Scope Music, Patchwork, and Kamraton, among others. Aaron has performed at events such as the Beyond 2020: Microtonal Music Festival, Berserker Fest, Kamraton’s She Scores series, the Ohio Valley Filk Fest, and Cropped Out. His bands and compositions have been released by labels such as New Focus Recordings and Corpseflower Records and have been reviewed favorably by Metal Injection, KLANG - New Music On The Fringe, Decibel Magazine, and Cleveland Classical, among others.
