Stone Compression

for violin, megaphone & electronics

Premiere: Bailey Wantuch (violin) & Stephen de Filippo (voice)
11’30"

Stone Compression pairs the electronically processed grinding overpressure of the violin, and the sound of the megaphone, with a fixed media component that samples the force majeure soundscape of rockfalls and landslides — creating heavy, gritty, and sometimes uncontrollable textures.

My participation in the 78th Composers Conference and this work were supported in part by the American Australian Association Arts Fund and West Australian Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
