The end of my beginning
My time as a student is coming to a close.
Next term is my final term, and it promises to be a crazy one. I am about to embark on my exit project which is going to be my Master’s Thesis. I don’t want to spoil the details of its subject since I have yet to get it approved (which is my plan for today), but on the whole, it’s going to be about new ways of constructing musical forms based on the physical objects that surround you in your daily life. It’s precedents are inherent in the roots of serialism, but the key differences will be discussed in the paper. These new forms will be elastic, recursive, and developmental, and will open up entirely new possibilities in ways one can utilize extra-musical resources.
In other news, I am playing on the first night of the NACUSA festival happening this weekend. I’m suuuuper excited about this. The piece I’m playing with Stella is one I wrote for her late last year (I wrote about it in my last post from November.) If you’ve got nothing else going on a Friday night, you should stop in… it should be a fun and memorable concert.
More to come…
