OK C-12?
2018
OK-C12? is a soundscape piece based on periodic elements. ‘Transitional Metal’ by Fumiko Miyachi formed the main inspiration for this work, where he created movements based on different elements by using certain timbres and articulations to convey the superficial qualities of each element. Elements in chemical reactions can be unpredictable and this quality makes a perfect context for this work based on rhythmic deception and tonal ambiguity. The audio above showcases the first movement of three ‘Oxygen’ performed on electric violin with pedals.
