Sheet Music: ScoreOverpainting : for flute / Stephen Adams.by Stephen Adams (2013)
|
Product details
The starting point for this music was the late abstract paintings
of Ian Fairweather and the exploration of the flute as a filter
for the human voice. Fairweather's wonderful mix of the
figurative and the abstract, the earthy materiality of paint and
canvass and the almost-disappearing-ness of the
image/referentialpresence became the starting point for my
dialogue with Janet McKay about a new flute piece.
The music I ended up writing isn't based in any direct way on the
Fairweather paintings. What it has retained is a focus on the
layered, elusive yet tactile, and rather dry and papery
soundworld that exists in the territory where flute-tone, voice,
breath and the mechanisms of the instrument meet. And also, I
hope, some of Fairweather's contemplative serenity and sense of
gradual construction of a self-sufficient and immersive world.
