Eric Whitacre Instagram – For this movement in Eternity in an Hour I’m using Fall, a hauntingly beautiful Norns script by @_ambalek. It creates delicate, random notes within a chosen scale, and is inspired by leaves falling from a tree.
You can see it working on the Monome Grid closest to me. When a ‘leaf’ reaches the ‘ground’ (the bottom of the grid) a new note is sounded. So for the live performance I’ll be conducting the choir and strings — and triggering those samples — based on the random timing of the leaves falling. In this way, the performance becomes a gentle dance between the musicians and the machines. | Posted on 23/Jun/2024 19:56:05
