inefficient sky
Program notes
inefficient sky is a piece about environmental noise, collapsing structures, and entropic material. At points the video is live controlled by the performers, and at other times it is a fixed video reflecting on the nature of stream diffusion and enviromental collapse.
Thank you to ensemble kompopolex for taking on this work and giving it form.
Note: the accordion part in this piece may be substituted with another instrument with a wide octave range such as cello, double bass, trombone, e.guitar, etc
