Brave New Music
20, 21, 22 March | The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
American guitarist and composer of super minimal music.
An Unrhymed Chord is based on a very open, simple score, for any number of musicians. It simply says that the performance should last 65 mins (two 30min halves with a five minute silent interlude). Musicians can chose any sound to make, but must make it for between one and 15 mins in each half. The length of the sound should be inversely proportional to its volume: short = comfortable, long = very quiet.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation, and an opportunity for really detailed, subtle and engaging music.
