Tangents: Wooley
Avant Media presents the complete World premiere of Nate Wooley’s evening-length for Kenneth Gaburo, scored for trumpet and pre-recorded electronic sound and performed by the composer. Using Wooley’s research in the mechanical production of phonetic sound and its effect on tonal production, the work stretches an introductory text by electronic music pioneer and language theorist Gaburo (1926 – 93) until the component phonemes lose their connection to textual meaning and become pure sound.
