Dissertation
\Interrupted\ for Small Orchestra
2012
Overview
INTERRUPTED is a composition for a small orchestra that explores the process of creating a larger work from smaller, individual “moments.” The duration and structure of the individual movements are a response to a neurological dysfunction which limited the composer's working memory and concentration. The composer's former methodology of through-composing and evolving large structural elements over extended time spans was no longer possible. A new creative process was developed where the current moment at hand was the only moment that mattered. This new approach was both practical and philosophical, and allows the freedom of writing an idea that may have little to do with what precedes it, and may or may not influence what follows. The common thread linking the movements was a loose system of pitch structure that was developed from the intersection of overlapping enneatonic and octatonic scales. The resulting mini-compositions serve as individual “moments” which were then arranged and edited with some repeating variations, to create a cohesive whole. INTERRUPTED showed the composer that the perceived limitation of one's creative process can be re-tuned to become a strength and an outlet for new directions in creative output.
