Still life with riots

This is a modular piece in the true sense of the word! First, it can be performed by any number, or on any combination of instruments. Second, it is a game-piece allowing for true performer participation and real-time decision-making, yet maintains the same strict structure and musical content on any performance. The game consists of two contrasting materials – one constant and subdued, the second short and aggressive, which is activated by the blinking of an unknowing audience. Combine the latter with a static ostinato part that dictates the time-line and density of playing, and you have Still Life with Riots. Note: the score available here on BabelScores is
