Further by Drum & Lace

'Further' EP is a new work for contemporary dance, written for string ensemble and electronics, that explores natural habitats and birdcall from a musical perspective.

With it's titled originally inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem “Further In Summer Than the Birds”, ‘Further’ makes use of ambient noise and field recordings from Yellowstone National Park and other California Parks. With a particular focus on birdsong and birdcall, these recordings are used to give us insight into a day from a bird’s point of view.

‘Further’ was composed as a way to bring awareness to natural sound, and our world’s changing sonic landscape.

Composed for a small chamber string ensemble, analog synthesizers, drum machines, manipulated speech and voice.

Movements:

m1. Rise
m2. Wings
m3. Crane Song
m4. (un)Obtrusive Mass
m5. After the Storm
m6. Into Dusk
