77317, the future of a curve III, MI 5159 R128fut 2020, Laurie Radford, 00:12:30
“To predict the future of a curve is to carry out a certain operation on its past.”- Norbert Wiener This provocative statement by cybernetics pioneer Norbert Wiener encouraged me to investigate the concept of a “curve” and lead me to the consideration of an entire world of curvatures, each one exhibiting distinctive characteristics and alluring possibilities for shaping sound and time. As with most of my creative work in sound, words and concepts initiate an investigation of possibilities for sonic design and development. Thus, presented with this rich world of shape and energy that is the “curve,” I chose several selections from the innumerable available types of curves that have been defined over time, choices which lent themselves to vivid sonic imagery and musical concepts applicable to the alto saxophone writing of the piece, the melodic trajectories for the saxophone and orchestra, the spatial movement of sound across the sections of the orchestral ensemble, and to a metaphoric exploration of shape in time. The alto saxophone is featured in the future of a curve II as soloist and instigator in a relentless pursuit of meaningful expression that tends toward the ascendant, with the string orchestra and percussion serving as both support and foil. the future of a curve II was commissioned by violinist/conductor Edmond Agopian for a concert combining forces of the University of Calgary Orchestra, the Calgary Youth Orchestra, and the celebrated saxophonist Jeremy Brown, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the University of Calgary. -lr
