Revised quartet version commissioned by Music from Copland House
(Previous piano trio version commissioned by ÆPEX Contemporary Performance)
GLITCH is a playful take on a record player skipping when playing a track, causing portions to loop unevenly or to be jumped over entirely. While this experience may be frustrating when it happens, it also recontextualizes the material from the existing track, creating a unique listening experience with the same sounds. Using off-kilter and “screwed up” grooves and glitchy ostinato patterns, the piece attempts to portray this sonic phenomenon to take the performers and listeners on a playful, fun, and wild ride.
This work was composed for CULTIVATE 2019, Copland House’s emerging composers’ institute, and was premiered by the Music from Copland House ensemble at the Merestead estate in Mount Kisco, NY on June 9, 2019. Many thanks to Music from Copland House for commissioning this piece.
