Eric Lyon - Trajectories

Program Notes

Trajectories was composed in August 2004 for the Harvest Moon Symposium on multi-speaker music. The central concern is to present multiple spatial trajectories that may be experienced contrapuntally and as fundamentally musical utterance. To this end the timbrel palette is restricted to sinusoids and noise, sometimes modified with simple filters. Trajectories, tunings and tempi are attached to individual sounds as markers to distinguish individual paths cooperating within a given texture.
