Jack Straw Productions and Washington Composer Forum present
Composer Spotlight:
PHILLIP ARNAUTOFF
Concerning My Variations for Cello
(2005-2010)
Wed, September 9th, 7:30pm
Jack Straw resident artist Phillip Arnautoff illustrates the synthesis of just intonation and the techniques of developing variation that characterizes his Variations for Cello, a large-scale work exploring both the implications of the harmonic series and the genesis of an entire composition from a few motivic cells. A number of significant examples will be given, followed by a performance of a small segment of the complete score.

In this installation Vaughn Bell suggests a mountain landscape made for urban conditions. Four mountains, arranged in an orderly manner, each offer sounds of water, ice, or other elements of a mountainous landscape. Passing through the gallery space and sitting within the interior of a mountain, the grand vista of landscape is brought to human scale, immediate and accessible. At the same time, this fabricated landscape is clearly fragile and ephemeral, made of paper and recorded sounds.
