The ‘After Times’ –– a new reality. Time passes weirdly here. Distances are strange. Gravity is different. Prepositions no longer make sense. Up is down is left is right, inside is outside, and is under and over. The after times – an Escher-esque existence.
Otiose: producing no result or effect
Outraged: angered at something unjust or wrong Overcritical: inclined to judge too severely Overwrought: deeply agitated especially from emotion Outmoded: old-fashioned
Offcious: intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner Overmodest: shy especially in a playful or provocative way Odious: unequivocally detestable

Emily Koh (b.1986) is a Singaporean composer based in Atlanta, Georgia whose music reimagines everyday experiences by sonically expounding tiny oft-forgotten details, and is characterized by inventive explorations of the intricacies of sound. Her work also explores binary states such as extremes/ boundaries, distinguished/ ignored, and activity/ stagnation, through her unique Teochew and Peranakan Singaporean lens. An amateur multi-disciplinary artist herself, she enjoys collaborating with creatives of other specializations, especially when sound plays a central role in the project. Emily is currently Assistant Professor of Music Composition at the University of Georgia, USA.

5 Pieces for String Quartet was first Performed at the British Music Information Centre, London in 1986 by the Goldsmith's String Quartet. In 1994-5 they were toured in the UK by the Almira String Quartet.  It is written using quarter-tones, although unlike some of my other music I would not describe it as a quarter-tone structured work. The movements are Inflow; Flux; Fall; Chords; Elegy. This is a realisation using Kontakt: there are obviously limitations to this but, in particular, the high melody in Elegy is played on 'cello harmonics and the equivalence is very approximate.
