Composer: Paul Burnell Title: Is That You? (or is it just me?) Instrumentation: Any two treble clef instruments, or one and tape Duration: 5 minutes Difficulty: Moderate Technical Issues: A pre-recorded tape will be needed if the piece is played by only one instrument. Programme note: When you encounter an animate or inanimate object do you ever get the feeling that it is trying to speak to you? The effect can be unsettling. In this mood any sound is interpreted as a communicating gesture. What is being said? Do you respond and, if so, how? If you do reply, are you just talking to yourself? And what would you think if you were eavesdropping? The piece is for any two instruments reading treble clef, one of which may be pre-recorded, separated spacially within the same building. Availability:from Paul Burnell |
