half Light (2017)
Percussion trio, electronics
6 minutes, 15 seconds
Note
Composed in the winter of 2016 in San Francisco, Half Light was my deepest foray into using electronics and sampled sounds throughout a piece. Samples used in this piece come from the sounds of cicadas buzzing, classically trained singers auto-tuned humming, myself playing several differently tuned harmonicas, the sound of rain falling, organs, as well as a bunch of other strange, crackling and popping sounds. I first presented a rough version of this piece to Mason Bates who was my mentor at the time, after compiling a wealth of metallic and wooden percussion instruments into his studio and recording all the parts myself.
Coming directly after a year long project for orchestra, Half Light was a sort of call back to my earliest passions of playing music; polyrhythmic and driving.
