Brink

Brink attempts to convey a form characterised by continuous sonic renewal and evolution. I like to think of sound as physical matter and, by blending parallel processes of transformation and recurrence, this work aims to evoke a sense of material consistently on the verge of leading toward a new physical ‘state’ or resolving into one that may satisfy or defy the expectations of an imaginative listener. Brink was composed in the electroacoustic music studio of Bowling Green State University, Ohio, on a Klingler Electroacoustic Residency in April/May 2015 and premiered in the Limonaia di Villa Strozzi at the Rewind Festival,Tempo Reale, Florence, 29 September, 2015.
