relativeBorder from Three Meditations on the Edge
for string orchestra, theremin, electronics, found objects(2019)

Composed for Barron Collier High School's String Orchestra under the direction of Jordan P. Lamb.

Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.

Three Meditations from the Edge is a multi-movement work for string orchestra and a variety of enhancement as well as soloists. The fragility of an edge is juxtaposed with the sharpness of an edge — an example is the edge of a
piece of paper, too fragile to easily balance or stack another object and yet sharp enough to draw blood in an instant. The work also exists at the edge of experimental music, a first entree composed specifically for advanced
string students at Barron Collier High School under the direction of Jordan P. Lamb. Throughout the piece students interact with extended techniques with and without the bow, as well as found objects and a variety of electronic soloists including interactive patches, theremin, fixed media, boutique synthesisers, and a dot matrix printer.

This project was designed as part of an artist residency, and recording project for STARS OF DIFFERENT HUES, a
unique outreach project focused on exposing students to experimental art and sound practices, developed by
New Renaissance Artist Elizabeth A. Baker.
