supersaturation
a 2024 vibraphone solo consortium

project info


Percussionist Bennett Jandreau is organizing a consortium to commission a new solo work by Nicole Knorr for unaccompanied vibraphone and auxiliary percussion. The work will be a set of miniatures that morph and dissolve through subtle transformations of musical material, creating soundscapes that mimic the ever-evolving nature of clouds. supersaturation is a study on transience viewed through the lens of the sky—a celebration of impermanence. The piece will be approximately five minutes and feature a handful of brief movements meant to be played attacca.
