Watching the Clock Tick

This audio episode is three movements of piano music that make use of myriad harmonic series and microtonal tunings:

I. The Very Strange Thing That Happens
II. Detention
III. Coda

These selections are assembled from the score to a larger work — Red Folder, the illustrated play. They just seemed to go together — especially when reimagined in the context of a tension that builds without any promise of resolution.

It just seemed like there’s a lot of that in the air. Thanks for listening.
