Connecting Cables

• for high woods, low woods, high brass, low brass, pitched percussion, harp/piano, and string quintet

Connecting cables is a creative, interactive, aleatoric piece in which the performers may generate their own ways of reorganising the performance order of the written excerpts. The powerlines are seemingly never-ending, and all conjoining, something that can be found in human behaviour's need for connection.

Using my photographs of power lines found in towns and cities of Japan, each excerpt depicts it's corresponding image, and the movement of the power lines dictate the movement of the music.

With no set order intended for these excerpts, the piece allows creativity within the rehearsal room for musicians to interact, and play a part in composing their unique version of this piece.
