For piano and live-electronics

Performed by Jacob Mason in Miami/Florida 2024

„Can I get some coffee, please” is a piece about the diversity of the different levels of communication regarding the variety of interpretations of the relationships between the verbal and the visual level. The sentences spoken by the pianist are a collection of the most commonly used sentences in everyday American English.

Regarding character emojis:
Character emojis illustrate the diversity and nuances of human personality traits. This creates room for interpretation, as different people can interpret emojis differently. These character emojis should be understood according to the interpreter's perspective, in this case, the pianist's interpretation. The invention of emojis represents a highly interesting step in written communication, as it translates emotional and visual expressions of a conversation into text form. In a text written without emojis, syntactic characters at the descriptive level allow for a precision that is often lacking in the visual communication of a direct conversation.
In a face-to-face conversation, interpretation occurs in both verbal semantics and tone semantics, as well as visual semantics. Emoji communication reflects aspects such as facial expressions, body language, and tone, including the receiver's interpretation of these non-verbal signals. Therefore, in emoji communication, the "richness" of possibilities, as well as the potential for misinterpretation in communication, exists. This makes this level of exchange more realistic and brings it closer to a spoken conversation.
