inhabit_inhibit (2019-2021) - extract

Program Note:
eidos; qualia oscillates between presence and absence, implying a continuity between being and non-being, appearance and disappearance. It is inspired by Yuk Hui’s discussion of recursivity, a concept that he likens to the mastery of shanshui painting: “when one sees something when there is in fact nothing; when there is nothing where one sees something.” I convey the idea of recursivity musically by rendering the soundless as equally audible as the sounding. By positioning the musicians around the audience and by gradually foregrounding the presence of space, I transform the soundless—the relation of one body to another—into something that is perceived both visually and aurally. In the final section of the piece, silent everyday objects (e.g. cardboard boxes and ceramic pots) emerge from their habitual silence as restless, unrelenting voices demanding to be heard.

Performed by Talea Ensemble at the Annex Theatre in Vancouver on April 23, 2022.
