Program Note:

Similar to the game of “telephone”, melodic data obtained from an instrumentalist travels around a circular network,
gradually being corrupted into a single tone, and eventually forming a single ensemble sonority – a “solid state”. Each performer designs their own instrument to play the changing melody, and the piece becomes a process of reacting to the data transmission as quickly as possible as it travels the network.

Performances:

12.4.2009 – Electric Monster Laptop Ensemble, Reynolds Recital Hall, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana.
10.8.2008 – MiLO, UWM Peck School of the Arts Recital Hall. Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
