Soprano: Amber Evans 

fac ut ardeat| (2018) was commissioned by Amber Evans and the Cortona Collective for New Music. I met Amber over the summer while at the Cortona Sessions for New Music in Italy, and over the course of the festival became friends and collaborators.

The title, fac ut ardeat|, comes not from the Sabat Mater but instead comes from a description of an inscribed fireplace in Rachel Kushner’s book, The Flamethowers, and roughly translates to, “made to burn.” This idea of violent disposability is integral to the work; as each line of text is sung, each gesture is consumed by a series of live delays and disintegrates each line of text to make room for the following events, leaving behind smoldering remains.

Various sound art media, including works for instruments, voices, electronics, and field recordings. Explorations of the cerebral and vector qualities of sound, literally and metaphorically: its shape, direction, movement, and communication. Digital manipulation generates not artificiality but new and very real qualities to the actions of listening and seeing.
