about

Performed by Benjamin Cold
Composed by Sam Krahn

flux-mirror explores symmetry and reflection as evolving, shifting states in three movements. In flux-mirror #1, repetition functions as one type of mirroring, with small, gradually unfolding changes over time. Simultaneously, highly active passages attempt to reach a state of near-monotony and create a static environment composed of complex rhythms. flux-mirror #2 begins with a type of inner pitch-symmetry by using a central pitch embellished by a microtone on either side. As the piece progresses, the recording emerges as a type of reflection of the saxophone, latching onto and elaborating on elements of timbre, rhythm, and pitch. The saxophone continues from this dialogue with the recording as a distorted reflection of its original self, shaped by the experience of time. flux-mirror #3 is a culmination of the entire work, combining an expansion of the ideas explored in the first two movements, and attempting to expand the previous sound environments by exploring the extremes of sounds that can be produced on the saxophone and in the electronics. All of the electronic processing in #3 occurs in real time during the performance.
