For Violoncello, Piano, Percussion and Live Electronic Processing.

Halo Incrusté… is a work based on and titled after a fragment of the poem “L’ecart” by Georges Perec. In the opening of the piece the instruments are treated as a unit, in which the combination of individual materials results in integrated crystalline gestures. Computer processes refract these gestures creating a quiet sonic aura around the performance space. As the piece progresses the instruments become more independent from one another and the electronic aura gradually thickens into a dense mass that blurs the harmonic, timbral and rhythmic materials of the piece.

This is a recording of the piece performed by Russell Rolen, Amy Briggs, and Lia DeRoin during the Debris Electronique concert series in Chicago.
