Aphasia (2009) by Mark Applebaum – performed by Joo Won Park
I got obsessed with Mark Applebaum’s Aphasia (2009) in the past two months. I perform my own music and often improvise, so studying and learning another composer’s piece with a score was challenging. But Applebaum is one of my electroacoustic heroes, and I have wanted to try Aphasia for a decade. After about two months of practice, I think I learned enough to enjoy performing it. Thank you for watching!
Octaves in BPM 120
In music, a form helps us to remember. We notice patterns in a form. When we recognize patterns displayed in time, the past makes sense. I invite listeners of Octaves in BPM 120 to focus on patterns and sequences. Listen to the order and combination of elements. Melodies and harmonies are not relevant in this piece as all pitches are Gs. I hope that the order and manner I present five sounds with different characters are delightful nonetheless.
