In this work for youth and/or community bands with electronics, experience the sounds of something not human waking up for the first time. From the opening swirling textures, one senses the first hesitant sparks of thought, attempting to find form and coherence. The new machine then comes fully awake, possessed of self-determination and unfathomable purpose. The electronics for this work are triggered from a computer via a self-contained program which is freely downloadable from the composer's website: http://www.stevenbryant.com/the-machine-awakes.php

In This Broad Earth

The music is a deliberate attempt to write a chorale - something simple, beautiful and familiar. The deceptive simplicity of Robert Frost's poem seems to coincide with this music, particularly the paradoxical descending of dawn to day, all embodying the concept of felix culpa, or "lucky fall" - the idea that loss can bring greater good, and is in fact necessary.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Radiant Joy was my first new work after a compositional hiatus, and one that I hope is equal to its title in character and purity of intent. It comes after a difficult period in my personal life, and thus its character was something of a surprise to me. This work began life as a strict, 12-tone, serialized creature modeled on Webern – I wanted something sparse and tightly constructed (in harmonic and intervallic terms), while still retaining a vital rhythmic pulse. After several sketches that ended in anger and frustration, I realized I was metaphorically banging my head against the creative wall, and perhaps I should stop forcing this music into existence with a prescriptive process, and simply listen inwardly to what I actually wanted to hear. The result is simultaneously the opposite of what I was originally trying to create, and also its direct realization – the vital rhythmic pulse is still prominent, but the harmonic materials veered toward the language of 70s/80s funk/jazz/fusion (take your pick). Regardless, the piece is intended to emanate joy and 'good vibes' (literally – the vibraphone is critical to the piece!), for the performers, the audience, and the composer!
