STILL, for solo piano
7:30-8:30 pm
Kresge Recital Hall
Ashlee Mack, pianist, and James Romig, composer, will present a one-hour piano solo inspired by the paintings of Clyfford Still. As the work unfolds, a strand of 24 notes is gradually revealed in groups of three, four, five, or six pitches at a time. This results in a slow-moving alternation of sparse and dense textures over the course of the entire work. The goal of this piano piece is to create a “museum of sound,” allowing a listener to develop a notion of the work’s entirety by listening to multiple iterative variations of harmony and rhythm.
