Program Notes
murmur, one of two movements that comprise my dissertation composition softer shadows, was composed in the spring of 2015. This quartet is for two vibraphones and features cardboard dowels from coat hangers standing in for more traditional mallets. These dowels create a 'thwack' sound when striking the bars. The result is a blurring of pitch and noise, further explored through the use (or absence) of the pedal. The piece culminates in a chorale using ping pong balls and a bow, the percussiveness throughout now taken to a very delicate extreme.
