Digital Audio Album
Alongside, Amongst, Against / Leah Blankendaal.
Work Overview
Alongside was created in improvisation and developed over many months of re-performance.A work designed to hold space, it layers short phrases with the use of a loop pedal or software.
The goal of this work is to create an immersive world in which the audience sits amongst sound,absorbing it, breathing it, and sinking entirely into it.
In notating this work it is worth mentioning its history and its purpose. Alongside is responsive, not prescriptive. The notes on the page are a guide.
It is encouraged that the performer takes liberty with time, repeats, dynamics, even where certain phrases are placed in the work. If the performer is comfortable doing so they are welcome to use the material to improvise their own phrases.
Alongside has taken anywhere between 6-12 minutes to perform.
