Description

Text by Bill Knott

Duration| 8′

Movements|

1. The Beach
2. I Left
3. When Our Hands Are Alone

Instrumentation| mezzo-soprano or baritone voice with reverb and looping capabilities; if looping is not possible, the electronics part can be performed by two additional singers as an obbligato part.

1.1(ca).1.1-1.0.1.0-pno-vn.vc.va.db(either 5 string or with extension)

Technical requirements| The singer should be amplified throughout with a fairly generous amount of reverb on his or her voice. He or she is asked to loop his voice in the third movement. in the case of the premiere the singer used a hardware looping and reverb set up. The composer also provides a simple application built in Max/MSP.

All other instruments may be gently amplified as well.
