about

Composite Units (2013)

Glitch music explored through the style of Sonata form and variation techniques, as opposed to the often brutalist and aggressive edge of the genre. The technique of four-voice polyphonic leading and counterpoint are followed- but use the practices as a way of organizing timbres and rhythms as opposed to pitches. The work develops along a condensed sonata form utilizing not tonic and dominant relations but timbal and rhythmic units to compose distinct themes and sections that are developed through variation and opposition.
