2008

duration 5' 

SCORE

PROGRAM NOTE
I typically write music with fairly involved programmatic intentions along with forms that echo or amplify
them. However, I also enjoy music that simply unfolds a process or a ‘conceit’. Fabrication 1: Cover is a component part of a larger 32-movement cycle for various ensembles ranging from solos and duos to works for orchestra. These Fabrications explore more mechanical approaches to generating music. Each has a subtitle; a synonym of ‘fabrication’ which says something about the piece itself.

Fabrication 1 is the ‘cover’ for the entire set in which swathes of speedy notes are ‘covered’ by held slow passages.
