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

Commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University.​
