bleed
for violin and playback

7’
commissioned Roman Lytwyniw
bleed is written for solo violin with electronic accompaniment. The tape is constructed entirely from clips of the violin, distorted and reassembled. The idea of the music is that the live and recorded parts bleed into one another, like how ink bleeds into water. I imagined watching that process, and every so often pressing a ‘rewind button’, before letting the tape run through to the end, the ink fully and serenely diluted.
