about

Tonal Aethers - the atmospheric medium which conducts the propagation of tonality.

In music of the Baroque Period, it is common practice for a performer to ornament and embellish upon the notes of the composer. This project (in its current form) takes that notion in a completely different direction, and embellishes all of the space in between the movements of the Cello Suite, using live electronics and extended techniques. The intention is not to augment J. S. Bach's music, rather it is to highlight using modern timbres. The material in each of the interludes (or meditations) is mostly derived from the notes of the bordering movements. In this way, these embellishments create a sonic world of connective textures for Bach's movements to inhabit.
