Warp Acoustics (2024)

for pierrot ensemble

Duration: 6’
Flute [opt. dbl. picc], Bb Clarinet [dbl. Eb Cl], Violin, Cello, Piano

The soundscape of Warp Acoustics engages with how certain digital or electronic processing techniques transform sound. The ensemble emulates these processes acoustically, sounding a unique interplay that is initially calculated and precise, but across the journey of the work becomes imbued with emotion and expressivity.
