Byrd One Brere

This Man is standing
At the edge of existence
Surrounded
By his self-made emptiness
There's a pile of trash
Under his feet
He won't leave us anything
Anything but waste...

Vulture Storks

for four of the same instrument and audio [version for alto saxophones]
commissioned by the Richmond Concert Society for W37 Saxophone Quartet

“Shoegaze Medieval is based on the ballad Corps Feminin (c.1390) by the ars subtilior composer Solage (c.1340-1400), examining and reworking its materials within a loose and blurry context. All four instruments fulfil equal roles within the work’s heterophonic surface, cycling through the song’s pitch material in loosely constructed canons, but with newly conceived rhythms and durations. The electronic component is made from a series of manipulated audio recordings of the piece, processed and layered again in canonic textures to provide a hazy and psychedelic wash behind the instruments. This process draws from the subgenre of indie and alternative music known as ‘shoegaze’, which came to prominence in the UK in the late 1980s and is noted for its ethereal mixture of obscured vocals, guitar distortion, effects pedals and feedback.”

Shoegaze Medieval

The Second Life presence of an artist who does it completely different in her First one. Live looping with acoustic instruments of the mostly medieval persuasion and the odd synths for good measure. Improvisation, ostinati, drones and some very old tunes thrown in the mix. Add to that some guitar equipment from the 90s and who knows what else natural selection might bring!
