lullabies for solo string instrument and "tapes".

textures are built around a fundamental frequency of 60hz.
recorded to a series of "tape" loops with varying lengths and potential to play in reverse.
the old material drifts into the background as new material is added.
the process is intended to produce unintended moments for the performer to experience along with the audience.

The norns script I wrote... aFoot is the "tape" loops mentioned above. This album came together as I prepare for a live performance at the end of the month. The venue is a church and I thought that this would be an excellent chance to play a string instrument in a nice and reverberant space.

But I lack the courage to just play the Viola, so I wrote this script as a way to have an accompaniment. Essentialy so I wouldn't need to perform alone. Which works out rather well, because the nature of this system allows me the chance to be a listener as well as a performer, a dichotomy I enjoy bringing to my art lately. It allows/encourages me to slow down and listen to what is happening, then to add something or take something away as the moment calls for.
