Idle Hands Guided By String

about

Whereas Meshuggah Tune had specific goals in mind for the studio’s role and the production, Idle hands was the complete opposite. This piece was almost entirely shaped by the studio process and Matt Baltrucki’s production expertise. As implied by the title, my compositional contributions were guided by that of an extremely wide and rich sonic palette, how big could we make this? In essence the piece is three sections distinguished by different tempi, in each the production role becomes more in control culminating with what we called the puppet master determining all the sonic and textural identities. There are three Instrumental performers, but due to the scope of the project with Matt, we decided to add a deconstructed grand piano to act as an indifferent sonic persona to both influence the studio production as well as the musical gestures executed by dissidents. The piano was entirely played inside the lid of the piano striking scraping and plucking the strings of the piano: another reference to the title of the piece.
