minimum. & NEBratsche Viola Ensemble
minimum is scored for four parts with flexible and expandable instrumentation. The compositional process was in essence based on the concept of code arts instigated by my not-so-fruitful experiment with Processing software. The oddly amusing part of the compositional process was to spend an era on constructing a formula of which the whole composition was structured and derived upon. The bonus enjoyment for me was to create synchronized animated visual, synced via embedded click track, to accompany the composition. To maintain the spirit of flexibility, I continued my mega-fun to produce six variants of visualization for performers or conductor to choose from.
