about

The concept for this work arose during several days spent watching the north Rose Window at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Inspired by an idea of the window as a visual chord, our thought in this work was to take a linear work of art, like a piece of music, and “turn the staff sideways” 90 degrees, thus allowing all the sounds in the work to be available all the time and the composers proceeding by finding new affinities among these materials within an equality of means. Here more than 30 note-rows are available to the players as triggerable MIDI sequences sent to various electronic instruments, which are also “listening” (via computer software) to both Fraser’s guitar and various reflections and refractions of that guitar, and then making complimentary pitches to accompany it. Recorded live to 2 track at Scott Fraser’s studio, Los Angeles.
