Work Overview
The title takes as its source my observations of movement and sound associated with objects in their natural environment. In particular, the contact-noise that results from different surfaces rubbing together in friction. Certain sound patterns, rhythms and idiosyncrasies, such as extraneous noise, result from this spontaneous movement. The objects are either set into motion by human intevention or by natural sources such as water. The work is a transcription and more importantly, a transformation of this 'found' material. No attempt is made at imitation, rather an abstraction takes place, that allows the musical material to determine its own independent existence.
