Work Overview
breaking, tearing is a work for small mixed ensemble that looks at taking something very simple, and using it to create something with increasing complexity. Here, it is a simple pattern: 4, 6, 3, 5, 2, 4. This pattern permeates every detail of the music, from the rhythms, to the large-scale structures, to the surface details - it spins itself out in fractal-esk tendrils, reaching every little thing, smaller and smaller. The pattern layers itself, obscuring itself in its detail. As layer upon layer build, they conflict, eventually breaking and tearing at the surface, leaving behind just a shimmering fragmented resonance of the music that came before.
