American Avenue

For six spatialized percussionists.

Program Notes:

'The Merope Nebula, NGC 1435 in the New General Catalogue, is a faint reflection nebula and suspected supernova remnant located in the Pleiades cluster. The nebula surrounds the star Merope (23 Tauri), after which it gets its name. It is the brightest reflection nebula in the Pleiades cluster and is also known as Tempel’s Nebula – it was discovered by the German astronomer Wilhelm Tempel from Venice, Italy on October 19, 1859.–  NGC 1435 covers an area of 30 arc minutes in size, which corresponds to a linear diameter of 4 light years. In the next several thousand years, the nebula – or what is left of it after the encounter with Merope, which is eroding the interstellar cloud– will move on past the star.'

Mixed by Juraj Mišejka

This piece was written in response to a set of photograms from Aleksandra Vajd’s The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations, which features two parallel lines, each changing colour halfway. To me this work is about things in flux, things moving toward or away from something else. In my piece, I am interested in how players might focus on periods of instability and change within and between sounds. By leaving the score more open, I hope to provide more space for the players to follow their curiosity and their ears, to be responsive to the sounds and to each other in the moment. - SL

"Sylvia’s piece is a rare occurrence: a simple, relatively undefined score that does not provide instructions for formal development over the entirety of the piece, yet immediately, the first time we rehearsed it, it was clear that the piece had a clear-cut character and a complex web of internal relationships. The simplicity and directness of Vajd’s photograms is here transformed into a focus on all the chaotic and noisy shadows, interferences, and byproducts that appear when players are tasked with exploring well-chosen, fluctuating effects and various transitions between them. Here, instability is always present at multiple levels — perhaps we could even speak of an interaction between instabilities, a dusty sonic layer covering the simple material play of the photograms." - Ian Mikyska

"I think someone is trying to drive you crazy before finally killing you."

A tribute to an early work by the master of Giallo, Dario Argento. Long on style, short on logic, the movie is a twisted tale of murder. The original score by Morricone naturally sets a very high bar, and I am confident I might, with luck, one day manage to limbo under it. In the meantime: my own poor alternative take… Made & mixed live in AUM on IPad, using Hilda, Sopranotron, Speldosa, et al. Sequencing by midiDreams. No keyboards harmed during making of the piece.
