PROGRAM NOTE
I typically write music with fairly involved programmatic intentions along with forms that echo or amplify
them. However, I also enjoy music that simply unfolds a process or a ‘conceit’.Fabrication 3: Dodge is a component part of a larger 32-movement cycle for various ensembles ranging from solos and duos to works for orchestra. These Fabrications explore more mechanical approaches to generating music. Each has a subtitle; a synonym of ‘fabrication’ which says something about the piece itself.
In Fabrication 3: Dodge clarinet and violin keep locking in with each other and then slithering apart and the performers are asked to travel around the stage, ‘dodging’ each other while playing, to eleven specified positions
