Suspended Animation (for 3 or more players)

Suspended Animation was the product of several years of obsession with the concept of self-similarity in musical composition. The piece is open-scored composition for 3 or more players and requires an ‘input source’. The score itself is a text score, detailing as to how a pre-existing melody can be split across an infinite number of musicians whilst maintaining a self similar structure. The piece is ‘modular’ in the sense that it doesn’t provide a finished set of instructions which a group of musicians can interpret to realise the piece, but instead offers the tools for the performers to construct the piece with.
