The Horizon is Too Dark (2023)
for piano and live electronics
“I was standing on a dark, deep horizon.
The deep dark horizon in the dead of night,
cold, quiet echo lingered there.”
I imagined an invisible horizon of tones extending far beyond the chords produced by the piano. Just as the clouds clear and reveal something beyond the horizon, the piano's reverberations disappear, and spectral tones are revealed. Through spectral analysis of the resonance of chords through the piano, the overtones of a chord can be recreated through a sine waveform or reprocessed through an input signal.
