about

Away was commissioned in 2008 by Stephen Altoft and is a bit of a nostagic work for me in that it is directly related to the years I spent at UCSD with flutist John Fonville working out a performance practice for microtonal tuning systems for the flute. The Max/MSP patch plays somewhat brass-like synthesized tones created on the Clavia Nord Modular in a controlled random environment. The performer is given free reign to improvise as he chooses within the 19-tone tempered tuning. This also includes the duration of the work. Away was composed during a period when I was confronted by more than one experiences of separation, including the death of two colleagues and emigration of someone very close to me. (Anne la Berge)
