Guillaume Connesson - Le Rire De Saraï

“Rose” is the last scene of a larger operatic work called a grain of sand.  In this opera, a woman wakes up on a deserted beach having lost her memory.  After regaining consciousness, various objects arrive on the beach that relate to her in some way. As she inspects the objects, the woman attempts to make observations of who she may have been and what may have happened to her.  In this scene the woman has made several failed attempts at forming a conclusion about her identity and realizes through the inspiration of the beach around her that she is not a single thing but rather an amalgamation of thousands of moments and memories that are constantly changing; just as the sand changes with the tide along the shore.

A(d)vert is a collection of vignettes exploring the fantasy realms created by media and advertising.  Each section focuses on a different ad, playing with the contrast of the tone of the presentation against what is actually being said.  This piece was written for the violist Colin Sorgi for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Lunch Bachs series.

This musical piece titled 'Kaleidoscope' contains patterns and derivation as well as perspective and dispersion from various angles. With derivation and division as its main motiv, tones that match each sound compose this piece and the composer created this piece with the trait of a kaleidoscope which is characterized by 'one from multiple angles and dispersed multiples from one.

With single movement, this piece is the first part of Kaleidoscope series which will be composed of a total of 3 parts. The subtitle of first part, 'kalos' means beauty of appearance. for reference, the tern Kaleidoscope originated from Greek 'kalos(beautiful)', 'eidos(shape)' and 'skopein'(see).'

Transformations of the music based on the change in symmetry, division, reflection and acute angle are the main elements of this piece which has only a single movement.

This piece is based off of the gate-keeping and invalidation that has historically occurred in the academy. When Conrad Tao and I first began talking about this idea, it became clear that we were both lucky in that we made it into academic music and have had relatively progressive experiences and environments. However, we still hold beliefs and support movements that are against the institution. Despite constantly creating hip-hop in the contemporary world, the genre still is invalidated in front of me every day. This cognitive dissonance is what I explored when writing the piece.
