Work Overview
Drifting Memories was first composed in 2006 for
Continuum Sax and revised in 2008. Programmatically, the work
takes us on a journey encompassing both pleasant and unpleasant
memories.
Drifting Memories consists of eight sections. The pitch
material gradually unfolds by drifting 'in and out' of each
section. The four saxophone parts are combined in a variety of
different textures and timbres, enhancing the gradual progression
from a static, calm quality to a fast and frenetic, complex web
of pulsating rhythmic figures, ending with piercing harmonic
glissando effects. Extended techniques have become an integral
part of my compositional style. In this work they include
multiphonics, air sounds, key clicks, vibrato, flutter-tongue,
slap-tongue, glissando and quarter-tone trill effects.
