Written for Piano and Taped Electronics....Composed and Produced by Bebhinn McDonnell
Programme note for ‘Dimensions’:
When I began writing this piece I had the idea of layering sound to support the piano solo music in order to create a sense of different time dimensions arising from the melody of the piano part and to explore the possibilities of rhythmic gestures between piano and electronics. A relationship is sought between the piano and electronics through temporal delays and rhythm. This short piece is made up of two main melodies played by the piano, while the electronics add different textures that are active underneath these melodies. Between these two main melodies the piano part then switches its function and acts as a rhythmic gesture to enhance the electronics.
