Interfacing with the Surface [2013]
for horn, cello &amp; MIDI keyboard
Ensemble Tzara (Samuel Stoll, horn; Moritz Müllenbach, cello; Simone Keller, keyboard)
Performance at Roulette, Brooklyn [December 11, 2013]

Interfacing with the Surface is an attempt at creating a sonic object over which we only truly witness its exteriority, its surface. The barrage of sampled flotsam and jetsam is massively differentiated and detailed on a micro-level, but its insistence and constancy render it monolithic and undifferentiated. As an Object, it is without Substance and is all Accident. The piece is a withdrawn object, eluding our grasping of it. It withdraws not only from the observers outside of it, but also from the operators within it. It is in excess of itself, and it spews this excess upon us without deliberation.
