about

Transparent Forms - Nick Ashwood - Cat 010

Composed in 2022 for Microfest, an annual microtonal festival hosted by Kraig Grady and Michael H Dixon.

Transparent Forms is Nick’s first group composition following on from his 2020 solo piece Unfolding/Overlay, (Inexhaustible Editions 027). Amanda Stewart wrote in the liner notes to that: “Enfolded in the shifting tones, our ears are at the edge of themselves.” With this new work, he continues this interrogation into the edges of harmonicity and perception. Frequencies from bowed guitar, flute and clarinet burst away from any notion of a stable lattice to reshape our understandings of intervals and chords, and our listening is continually surprised and delighted by the 'tastes' and 'colours' that are revealed.

The instruments dissolve into each other to create an unrecognisable timbral unity where melody emerges from harmonic clouds.
