Flows

A long piano piece where the player decides how many times each bar repeats.

Part of the Bloom family

2017 · for solo piano (large work, each bar repeated)

Premiere — Brianna Matzke · The Mercantile Library, Cincinatti · 2019-08-22

A large work for solo piano. Each bar is written once and repeated as many times as the player chooses, so the length is up to the performer — Brianna Matzke’s first performance ran 46 minutes. The texture is what I call Wheels Within Wheels: patterns on different timescales, so the ear’s focus drifts around inside them.

I composed the whole thing in software, in the Bloom system.
