Layers is an improvisatory music-movement work for chamber ensemble, developed in collaboration with members of the New York University New Music Ensemble, Esther Lamneck, director.
Layers evolved from a set of exercises that I developed with the New York University New Music Ensemble during my residency with them in 2018. In the piece, the performers explore interaction with each other sonically, using an array of extended techniques and colors. Their interaction with each other, both as soloists and in duos, culminates in a final scene which incorporates movement into this theatrical work.
