Description

Recording of Wesley Fuller's Time Into Pieces performed by Catherine Fuller, piano. Time Into Pieces for Piano and Computer was written at the Colgate University Electronic Music Studio. It was written for pianist Dwight Peltzer who played the first performance at the University of California at San Diego. The five pieces are separated by short silences, and framed by a short computer introduction-"charivari"-- and a short piano epilogue. One definition of charivari is "a noisy mock serenade to newly weds". The title is taken from David Burrows' essay Music and The Biology of Time." The music explores a continuum between control and freedom, with the sharpest contrast occurring between piece three (quiet, canonic control) and the beginning of piece four (quasi-randomness suggested by the computer with the piano hanging on). The work was created using the Music 10 System (Stanford) and the Score program (Leland Smith).
