"Varolius Study"
composed by Duane Pitre for Tectonics Festival website
mastered by Turk Dietrich
Zinc & Copper - well tuned brass

Composer Duane Pitre is currently working in conjunction with Zinc & Copper on a performance piece, titled "Pons," for justly tuned horn, trombone, microtonal tuba and electronics. The relaxed pace of this project has allowed Pitre to simultaneously work on additional, related material, such as "Varolius Study," which is a demo of what is to be a companion piece to "Pons." While the latter will be performed from a score, "Varolius Study" is being constructed in Pitre's studio using audio editing techniques that utilize recordings from "Pons" rehearsal sessions. Both pieces share the same instrumentation and just intonation tuning, which were designed by the composer.
