Abstract
Through recent works, I have been interested in the perceptual transitions between intelligibility and ambiguity with language in music. With Adhocracies I wanted to attempt a much larger scale transition between the states of unintelligible chatter, to ambiguous speech, to (finally) articulated prose. Adhocracies has become a vessel where I could address these language and speech procedures in the same context as several other compositional devices I have been developing concurrently.
