Phase Shift

A phase shift is a change in the location or timing of a point within a cycle of a repetitive waveform. In this distinctive work, this concept is explored by grouping the ensemble into nontraditional Side A and B groupings that shift the sound away from their ordinary stations. Enveloping the listener, a four-note motif is passed from side to side and shifted between instrument families that are grouped by their locationon the stage. Punctuated brass fanfares mark each phase shift and provide driving motion that leads to a high-energy conclusion. Optional electronic parts are provided for a truly unique experience!
