| 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 10: Itch 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 10: Itch is an intense energy burst. Marked “hard, energetic, tight, and as fast as possible,” the two players move from disparate, interlocking lines to long passages of unison, disjointed rhythms, and back again. Like an out of control rollercoaster, Itch takes the listener on an exciting, wild ride. Matt Sharrock see also Fabrications |
