about

One of the areas of exploration that was very interesting to me early in LAEE was the modalities of presentation. While forming ideas for what we would be and where we could play we were trying not to be exclusive. Four people standing behind laptops is so heavily coded to be so many different specific things. Which of those do we read as? Do we read differently on different stages? By sonically evoking a number of our influences I hoped to be able to morph our bodies and statures semantically on stage throughout the piece. Form was also a big question for us, we wanted so badly to push against amorphous formal gestures at the beginning, seeing them as blasé and the easiest answer to the question of “what do we do with these cool patches we’ve made?” and polymodalism seemed an interesting answer to form. This piece was the first piece I wrote for LAEE as LAEE, and I hope that it can sonically live up to the optimistic dualism I placed in it and us at the outset of these last few years.
