Ashlee Mack, pianist, and James Romig, composer, will present a one-hour piano solo inspired by the paintings of Clyfford Still. As the work unfolds, a strand of 24 notes is gradually revealed in groups of three, four, five, or six pitches at a time. This results in a slow-moving alternation of sparse and dense textures over the course of the entire work. The goal of this piano piece is to create a “museum of sound,” allowing a listener to develop a notion of the work’s entirety by listening to multiple iterative variations of harmony and rhythm.
Ashlee Mack is Director of Piano Studies at Knox, and James Romig is Professor of Music Composition and Theory at Western Illinois University.
