about

The idea of a revisioning of the traditional “La Chasse” genre, has been on my drawing board for a number of years. It is customary for hunting music to be triumphant, even pompous in its celebration of the “thrill of the chase”. This work seeks instead to capture some of the terrifying, nightmarish collusion of the hunting pack: at once wild and unrestrained and coordinated and complicit. A state of order-in-anarchy is achieved by synchronizing the performers with independent computer-controlled click-tracks. This allows for the exploration of several unusual modes of rhythmic organization: polytempo - the simultaneous performance of multiple tempi (including) independent acceleration and deceleration of each player and microrhythm – the separation of the players by tiny time intervals. Computer control also permits the precise synchronization of electronic processing of the sounds of the performers, adding to the surreal methodical madness of the hunting pack.
