Hi. How’s everyone coping.
Yeah, same here.
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.
