about

for solo flute

I started writing this piece because I wanted to think about and with breathing as a proses entangled with bodies and environments. That breathing is denied to black lives, that breathing is something that also denies individualistic thinking, as one, to a smaller or larger degree, breathes with others. Musical instruments show breathing as something that can conjure other possibilities of hearing what is, while also pointing to the matters involved with and in breathing.

One of the world’s most brazenly experimental composers, Swiss artist Jessie Cox makes music about the universe - and our future in it. Through avant-garde classical, experimental jazz, and sound art, he has devised his own strand of musical science fiction, one that asks where we go next. Cox’s music goes forward. When he describes it, he compares it to time travel and space exploration, likening the role of a composer to that of a rocket ship traversing undiscovered galaxies. Known for its disquieting tone and unexpected structural changes, his music steps into the unknown, and has been referred to by the New Yorker as an example of ‘dynamic pointillism’, a nebulous and ever-expanding sound world that includes ‘breathy instrumental noises, mournfully wailing glissandi, and climactic stampedes of frantic figuration’.
