3x4x5x7
Erik Carlson- Mezzo Violin
Emily DuFour- Alto Violin

Christopher Botta- Live Mixing/Sound Design
This work presents just intonation scales that collide to create polyrhythmic beating. The instruments of the New Violin Family made by Carleen Hutchins have a unique clarity of tone and pitch, and the performers will be placed in the four corners of the room. The just intervals will interact with four channels of sine tones to create a slowly changing immersive harmonic field.
