As the piece unfolds, the voice becomes more free and independent of the original melody, creating a process of development followed by deconstruction and finally reconstruction into completely new material free from the original melody. The final spoken text is a modern text, related to the theme of unattainable love (like the Machaut text), but presented in modern French as opposed to Medieval French text of “Douce Dame Jolie.” Composition An original work.

Title A name given to the resource Bellowing Thunder, Crimson Sky Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="https://compel-dev.vtlibraries.net/items/show/679">Jon Fielder</a> Description An account of the resource With Bellowing Thunder, Crimson Sky I was trying to capture a feeling I had in the summer of 2013 while walking home just a storm was rolling in over my southeast Ohio town. The sun had not fully set so the sky was an eerie dark red and I could hear thunder rolling in the distance and see brief flashes of lightning. I was on my way home from an evening walk and I started to worry that I was going to get caught in a nasty storm; I made it home just before a massive cloudburst of rain and thunder. I wanted to recreate that sense of the “calm before the storm” that can arouse conflicting feelings of serenity and unease all at the same time. Bellowing Thunder, Crimson Sky was commissioned by Patchwork Duo (Noa Even and Stephen Klunk) and was premiered in spring 2014. Subject The topic of the resource Composition An original work.

Title A name given to the resource Dissociation Sequences (C23H28O8) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="https://compel-dev.vtlibraries.net/items/show/679">Jon Fielder</a> Description An account of the resource Brutal cello and electronics piece. Dissociation Sequences (C23H28O8) tells a narrative of being caught in the middle of a hallucination (or series of hallucinations) on Salvinorin A and the cognitive effects the chemical has on the brain. The hallucinations from Salvinorin A (from the salvia divinorum plant) cause various dissociative effects such as distortions of time, space, memory and motor function. In this piece the cellist is battling with these dissociations through the realization of the score and the interaction with the live electronics. This piece was written for James Burch and is dedicated to Franklin Cox. Composition An original work.

Title A name given to the resource The Mind is its Own Beautiful Prisoner Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="https://compel-dev.vtlibraries.net/items/show/679">Jon Fielder</a> Description An account of the resource This piece was inspired by an e.e. cummings poem of the same name. The poem is told through the voice of a man who has lost his lover and covers various themes such as loss, betrayal, paradoxical dichotomy and mental self-imprisonment. I wanted to explore some of these ideas in my own music and set out to do so using the wind quintet. The piece consists of a harmonic progression that is presented roughly five times throughout the piece with the ultimate goal being to present it as a clear homogeneous unit, however, it is only heard clearly in the final section of the work. The wind players present the progression through angular, jagged melodic figures throughout the rest of the piece, sometimes working together and other times working against one another. The electronics act as a constant antagonist, always adding layers to disrupt the wind players or add a distant layer of complexity that serves to disrupt their motion toward group singularity. The quintet represents the idea of self-imprisonment – a single unit that is constantly seeking solidarity and individuality of the component parts – while the electronics represent the idea of the lost lover – a distant and completely autonomous entity within the framework which remains completely unaffected by the acoustic element. It is simultaneously a self-contained voice and an interacting medium that only serves to disrupt any attempts the quintet makes toward their ultimate goal. Composition An original work.
