A requiem/concerto for fretless guitar with an electronic soundscape. "Tintinnabulating." - The Stranger
Bio / Background
what remains...
a requiem/concerto for fretless guitar
what remains... is dedicated to the memory Matthew Sperry - a good friend and an extraordinary musician. Matthew's recorded improvisations on contrabass were integral to this project, both as inspiration and as musical material. Short samples of his recorded work were used as generative sound slices for the piece, and were processed and re-composed to create the sonic landscape with which the fretless gutiar part interacts. I have had the opportunity to perform this work live several times in the past year, and the experience has given me a sense of joy and peace. I want to thank Matthew for this gift, and I hope that what remains... appropriately expresses the deep admiration I have for his work. Thank you Matthew. We all miss you very much.
