Sheet Music: Score & Part(s)Where all is blue : for percussion and electronics / Alice Humphries.by Alice Humphries (2023)
|
Product details
Where all is blue explores the scientific phenomena of how colours seem to disappear the deeper you go underwater utilising petal percussion and sine tone glissando. Different wavelengths of light penetrate to different depths in the ocean, creating the illusion that coloured objects change in appearance as they descend underwater. The longest wavelengths reach the greatest depths, and these are represented by the colour blue. Sonic illusions reflective of these underwater visual illusions are created in this work by blending the vibraphone with crotales, resonant aluminium tubes and subtle electronics. The music slowly drifts, slides, and descends from a colourful timbral and higher frequency palette, evolving to a pure and constrained sound world of lower frequencies, where all is blue.
