Larissa O'Grady 'Rusted Sugar' (2022)

Larissa O'Grady performs 'Rusted Sugar' (2022) for violin and tape. Composed by Anselm McDonnell. Commissioned by Larissa O'Grady supported by an Arts Council Ireland Commission Award. This work was developed by the artists through CMC's Contemporary Artists Network (also known as CMC Connects) an initiative which supports New Music collaborations. "Microtonal harmony has always struck me as having a quality of saturated sweetness, a somewhat sickly feeling of overindulgence, due to the richness and resonance of the adjusted intervals. For my first piece properly engaging with microtonal writing, the topic of sugar therefore seemed a suitable starting point. The structure of 'Rusted Sugar' loosely follows a chemical process: the stages of burning sucrose sugar until its molecules break down and separate, leaving only carbon behind. The musical relationship between the violin and electronics vacillates between coalescence and disintegration, moments of harmonic or metric unity dissolving into friction before aligning again." - Anselm McDonnell. Videographer: Sławek Bracki. Audio recording: Keith Fennell. Recorded at the Contemporary Music Centre, © The Contemporary Music Centre, 2023. This piece is featured on 'Six New Works For Violin', the début album by Larissa O'Grady, comprising six commissioned works by Irish composers David Bremner, Robert Coleman, Jenn Kirby, Fiona Linnane, Anselm McDonnell and Judith Ring. Released by Farpoint Recordings on 7 November 2024.
