score
recording

cataract is a piece for large concert band written for The Saint Olaf Band. The piece took inspiration from some of the formal devices utilized in the visual art of Bridget Riley, specifically in reference to her work Cataract 3. In this case, I utilized subtle, internal variations through extended repetitions to create a musical form that is conducive to temporal confusion and enhances the listener’s ability to percieve small changes through time.
