| This is the second in a cycle of solo works which explores the nature of melody/ musical line and of solo performance. Simple cycles of duration, pitch and dynamic were overlayed to create the basic musical materials. Physically, the interferance patterns created by this process can be likened to ripples in water after a handful of stones have been thrown in. These cycles begin simply, each stone radiating a basic circular pattern which eventually becomes more complex as it meet others, eventually becoming chaotic. The single, unaccompanied lines generated from this material form alternating sections with material also derived from cyclic overlay. However, these sections increase in density. a new musical line being added with each new section. Eventually the musical line is subsumed in an overload of information: too many notes and the musical line disappears. |
