The piece begins with slow ringing timbres that suggest the machine gradually awakening. Rhythmic density increases as motifs form between small mechanisms operating within the machine. Quite suddenly there is enormous growth in volume and rhythmic interplay as the machine springs into its full exuberance as it performs a mysterious unknown function. Yet, as quickly as it began, the machine slows and begins to shut down. Ringing timbres become more prominent while only portions of earlier rhythmic motifs remain. Eventually the listeners’ journey concludes as a chord made of resonating metal signifies the machine shutting down."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Composer Biographical Notes<br />Wes Pittman</span> (b. 1989) began his musical studies as a child, playing both Piano and Bassoon. Upon discovering his love for composition in High School, he decided to pursue it and Bassoon performance professionally. He is currently enrolled at the University of Nevada, Reno where he studies composition with Jean-Paul Perrotte and Dr. James Winn. He also studies Bassoon with Dr. Christin Schillinger and improvisation with Dr. David Ake. Other works by him include a solo Piano composition, a score for a snowboard video, a multimedia collaboration for video and electronic music entitled morning city, and music for the video game Prime.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">[graphics and notes by the composer]</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/156520753779705102-8401765639546448666?l=radioccai.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156520753779705102.post-50210324863193276612008-12-07T15:03:00.000-08:002008-12-07T15:04:06.705-08:00Hello World<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/156520753779705102-5021032486319327661?l=radioccai.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jonnoreply@blogger.com0
