What Would John Chowning Do​?​: Part B

from Memory Palace by Scott L. Miller, Adam Vidiksis, and Sam Wells

/

about

What Would John Chowning Do? presents a continuous improvisation in two parts. The first is propelled by an unrelenting insistence from the drums, while the trumpet is transfigured and accompanied by Miller’s electronics. The trio tumbles through clicks, roars, thrums, and wails in a persistent energy that demands to breach the distance between them. Timbres reminiscent of Chowning’s work emerge as the group metamorphoses through rhythmic textures that span from caustic beats to mechanical irregularities. Part B continues directly in the same improvisation, but now takes a more serene perspective. Crystalline electronic timbres accompany the trumpet’s slow swells, while sparse percussion alternates between a funeral mass and a child’s music box, developing from contemplative, to ghastly, to incensed before finally winding down to rest.
