about
The reason why I favor the term “Construction” over “Composition” is because the first emphasizes working with materials. There is a structure—indeed!—as the title of the piece suggests. But the materials are united not by a guiding—or formal—“image” coming from the history of music, but by resolving the conflict of their qualities. Perhaps I should simply say that is a matter of accent placed on those constructive ideas.
“Construction in Three Parts” is formed by three different notated fixed structures separated (or linked?) by solos + backgrounds. There are no restrictions for the soloists. Regarding the backgrounds for the solos, they contain notated shapes—intervals, rhythmic figures, sounds—that the interested listener will notice belong, in some respect, to small portions of the structure of the various Three Parts. But in these backgrounds the notated materials are presented in a different format, in
such a way that the performers will have also the possibility to relocate them, forming—in “real time”—adjacent, alternative structures in relation to the fixed ones.
These almost heartbreakingly gentle felted piano compositions have the delicacy and loveliness of slow-falling snow. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 30, 2023
A work of beautiful, pointillist guitar from Martyn Heyne, the moving songs on “Electric Intervals” are made of tiny pinpricks of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 11, 2017
