Abstract:

Program notes: Television Sky is a three-movement work composed by Eliot Britton. The movements (Channels 1, 2, 3) deal with various musical and physical elements that figure prominently in the EP trio's research: Gesture, Texture, and Rhythm. Each movement adopts a different approach to organizing sounds; these provide unique arenas to explore communication, expression, and synchronization issues arising in an electroacoustic chamber music ensemble. About the performer: EP trio is a multi-faceted research group and performing ensemble. It is comprised of cellist Erika Donald, percussionist Ben Duinker, and composer/ turntablist Eliot Britton. They are based at McGill University in Montreal, Canada where they enjoy support from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT).
