Interaction of Color
For video, electronics, and sustained pitch instruments. Video and composition based on Josef Alber’s “Interaction of Color”. (2024)
Text Score:
Use any sound-making object that can make a long, sustained tone. Play long tones that harmonize with the tones in the tape, usually softly. Once you’ve started on a pitch, don’t change it while playing. Always tune with the tones in the tape to make an interesting interval. Listen more than you play. Take long pauses between each tone.
