Clara de Asís
She moves through space World première. New composition commissioned by Echonance+Orgelpark
Reinier van Houdt–organ/piano, Elisabeth Smalt–viola,
and Clara de Asís–electronics.
Written for viola, organ/piano, and electronics, the piece will explore interdependent relationships between dynamics of attention, spatial trajectories, time, and the perceptual fluctuations that emerge from these interactions.
Drawing from my ongoing interests in attention, perception, and hybrid tuning systems, this work approaches these acoustic instruments through a lens often associated with electronic music; one grounded in frequency interaction, filtering, spatial diffusion, perceptual thresholds, and oscillating gradations of tone.
