Still Air I

dedicated to Matthias von HintzensternStill Air 1 explores the sonorities of quiet, but complex sounds and blends the live instrument with prepared electronic sounds. It’s the first of a series of pieces for solo wind instruments and electronics. As a stark contrast to many of my other compositions which explore speed and density, this cycle is meant to search for musical expression with very little activity.
First performance by Rane Moore on March 9, 2013, Goethe-Institute Boston.
