Riverbroadening

2012
Matt Davis

A score for up to four players:

  • a non-reed woodwind
  • a radio using FM or shortwave frequencies
  • a ‘keyboard’ instrument
  • a ‘chordal’ string instrument

A guided mindful improvisation. Three recordings of the work, performed by the ensemble Comma and adjunct players. The score is based on a map of the French Broad River as it passes through the Appalachian mountains of western North Carolina.
