\"invitation\"<\/a> If you click on the invitation to the left, you will link to the full program. As you can see, I am missing a recording of Canon<\/em> and A Little Chamber Music<\/em>. I DO, however, have sheet music and\/or notations for everything listed as Harris published his undergraduate thesis.<\/p>\n

Since the performance also involved real time delay loops, video and some improvisation, I am hoping someone has a videotape recording of it.<\/p>\n

Some notes from Harris on the following recordings:<\/strong><\/p>\n

String Quartet (1996)<\/strong>
\nThe first movement of this quartet is based on the Bulgarian Kopanitsa dance (with its 11\/16 meter). The third movement takes Moravian song as source material. The piece is structured on the micro and macro level around the wedge shape formed by the ascending B, C#, D, D# and descending B, Bb, A, Ab.<\/p>\n

Love Songs for Viola and Electric Bass<\/strong>
\nDigital delay with endless feedback and spoken parts.<\/p>\n

What is a Work? Quartet for Clarinet and Bassoon<\/strong>
\nThis “Quartet” makes use of a long (two minute) tape delay. The passage recited from Foucault (ostensibly introductory) gets played back over the music, which is twelve-tone.<\/p>\n

10 measures for Electronic Conductor\/Prelude<\/strong>
\nThe nonsensical (Cagian?) act of conducting in silence to the audience is later revealed to have a purpose. [my note on this: this piece involved video rewinds and playback]
