Work Overview
In the Presence of Sound is composed for Taegum (Korean bamboo flute), and percussion consisting of wind-chimes, tiger-gong, temple-blocks, Buk (Korean drum), and Crotales. The piece was specifically composed for the 2017 'Creativity Unlimited Festival.' The title of the piece was inspired from photographer Michael Flecky's photographic collection 'In the Presence of Trees.' The creative focus in the music attempts to articulate the concept of noise as momentary sonic grit, and undulating sound texture within East Asian, and Contemporary Australian approaches. The sonic palette explores techniques on taegum and percussion that of wind-tones, slap tongue, bowed Crotales, and frenetic quirky passages juxtaposed with moments of silence. The piece is also flavoured with additive meters that create a sense of momentum, and direction which is prematurely interrupted each time through an undulating sonic build up of sound, and contrasting motifs, thus disturbing the flow of the rhythmic phrases.
