Six Textures for Rock Quartet

Six Textures for Rock Quartet puts the instruments of a rock band in a chamber music context. These six miniature pieces explore the tibres of the rock band, but do away with other trappings, such as unison or complimentary rhythms, steady pulse, verse-chorus structures, etc. The emphasis here is on atmosphere - sounds and texture. The players follow a loose score which enforces certain general progressions of chords, but each player will arrive at these chords relatively independent of each other. This piece was written for Darren Nelsen.
