(Sometimes, Voiceless, Violet) by Natalie Moller

Nadine Dyskant-Miller, flute

What is the touch of infrequency — the taste of unmouthed words — the texture of color?
From a score of unmarked time, the players reconstruct the silhouette of the framework, the surface of the soundscape ever in flux from one performance to the next. Ink becomes sound becomes thought, transmutable by perception and intent
(the landscape is always changing).

(Sometimes, Voiceless, Violet) was written for the SMTD @ UMMA "Nomenclature" installation event, in response to the term "texture."
