the Moment is a piece I wrote in 2024
it will have its world premiere in New York on June 27 2025 at the New York City Electronic Music Festival
In this program I'm taking certain parts of the Moment apart in order to see and hear what makes up certain passages in the music. The interest lies in finding that separate tracks will sound so different from being played in the composition where other sounds actually alter the perception. Here is also a discussion around virtual acoustics and how they play with you when recorded in different virtual rooms and played on top of each other
