Abstract
ENTANGLEMENT (2023) is an intermedia work for live-electronics performer, higher order ambisonics audio, video projection, and programmed lights. The culmination of over a decade of research and creative practice in electronic music, this work is a paratactic collection of ten visceral and dynamic personal reflections. Aesthetically, ENTANGLEMENT demands us to experience the contrast of extremes, for example: tension and release, density and stasis, and -- sometimes -- discomfort and catharsis. These ten sections are structurally linked to one another by a network of interconnections in material, form, and theme; ENTANGLEMENT is: i. Terminus ii. Reclamation iii. why do you distort your face? iv. static / wake v. in situ vi. Wormwood vii. [REDACTED] viii. degrade.loop(16) ix. ENTANGLEMENT x. six lines Performance of this work is facilitated by a purpose-built electronic performance interface (MH / CH2) which, with the assistance of bespoke computer software, leverages the hands and movement of the performer to afford a high degree of control over an array of digital synthesis engines and spatial controls.
