BREANA TAVAGLIONE: ARID, LANDSCAPE STUDY
for viola and electronics (2023)

World Premiere: Melia Watras, viola; May 4, 2023, Seattle, WA

Program Notes:
Arid, Landscape Study is a reflection on panoramic desert scenery, simultaneously remote and near. It was created in conjunction with my dissertation piece, an electroacoustic reimagining of the Western film genre exploring scale, proximity, and perception. All material is sourced from Melia’s viola, integrating some delicate granular synthesis.
