about

Chaz Underriner
nocturne series: 4 [2012] for ten instruments, environment and field recordings.

nocturne series: 4 is a composition for two or more people involving field recordings with sine tones and sustained pitch instruments to create a shifting sonic environment. The sound files are a meditation on a field recording of the dry Blanco riverbed in Wimberley, Texas, which serves as the inspiration for the nocturne series as a whole. The work contains a subtle mixture of synthetic sounds with the original field recording, creating an abstracted portrait of a specific time/space—enmeshing the sounds of the riverbed into the atmosphere of the performance environment.
This is an attempt to transcend artificial representation and capture the moment’s true reality in sound, much like Japanese landscape painters capture the essence of a place by using mostly negative space. The live pitched instruments activate the performance space and blend into the field recording in order to draw attention to ignored sounds in the environment. nocturne series: 4 is an exploration of “in-between-ness”: sounds in between music and environment, in between representation and reality, in between nothingness and the contingency of silence. This recording was made on-site at Herdsmans Lake, Perth.
