Product Description
Sync, for flute, cello, and bass trio,
is a complex piece which includes a variety of time signatures, virtuosic flute
lines, driving cello rhythms, and jazz-influenced pizzicato bass lines. The
title derives from the phasing that occurs as a result of multiple pulses that
align, dis-align, and re-align throughout. The rhythms that drive the piece are
heavily syncopated, yet often times, even non-syncopated rhythms are perceived
as such as a result of the offsetting phasing of the pulse. The rhythmic
figures are constructed as not just a variety of attacks, but also note lengths,
which alternate between combinations of accents, legato, and staccato phrases. Each
section is glued together using transitions which guide the individual pulses
to their next point of alignment. Throughout the bridge sections, all three
instruments take on differing roles: the flute plays ethnically influenced
over-arching melodies, while the cello underscores the flute with double and
triple-stop chords, and the bass maintains a steady but syncopated pulse. Finally,
the piece comes to a close with each instrument rallying together as one; the
final sync point.
