about

Absence/artifact explores notions of presence and absence. It is a back and forth conversation between sound and mark making. The piece was created in three phases; starting with a simple first draft of the music, written with a "cold" sensibility. Certain featured notes (C, E-flat, B-flat) were chosen which had a synaesthetic visual/aural meaning for the composer. The visual diagram in the color cyan was drawn in response to the first draft of the music, charting the sound from top to bottom, left to right, across the page. Two more colors were added to the visual composition, not in reaction to the music but as new elements. A final draft of the music was then created using the instrumentation of flute, clarinet, piano, and vibraphone, now responding directly to the visual and reacting to the new colors in the composition. Absence is present in the marks and the notes. Each serves as an artifact of the other.
