ORTHOGONAL
For Four Multi-Precussionists
Orthogonality is a system design property facilitating feasibility and compactness of complex designs. Orthogonality guarantees that modifying the technical effect produced by a component of a system neither creates nor propagates side effects to other components of the system. The emergent behavior of a system consisting of components should be controlled strictly by formal definitions of its logic and not by side effects resulting from poor integration, i.e. non-orthogonal design of modules and interfaces. Orthogonality reduces testing and development time because it is easier to verify designs that neither cause side effects nor depend on them.
THE SEVEN SINS OF MEMORY
For Ensemble
“Memory is the foundation for so much of who we are, what we do, but at the same time it is also fragile, its imperfect.” This piece is based in the book “The Seven Sins of Memory” by Dr. Daniel Schachter. These are the seven fundamental categories in which Dr. Schachter subdivide memory error which will dictate the musical structure of the piece:
1) Transcience: decreasing accessibility over time
2) Absent-mindedness: lapses of attention; forgetting to do things.
3) Blocking: Temporary inaccessibility of stored information.
4) Misattribution: attributing memories to incorrect source, false recognition.
5) Suggestibility: implanted memories.
6) Bias: retrospective distortions produced by current knowledge and beliefs
7) Persistence: unwanted recollections that people cannot forget.
