They requested a “bot,” referring to a series of percussion pieces I’d created that traffic in grooves broken up and distributed among the players as well as constantly shifting underlying pulses. This is not that. The members of Mobius have a special interest in using their voices, and their vocal ranges just happen to map onto those in traditional SATB (Soprano/Alto/Tenor/Bass) part writing. Knowing this, I made what might be the world’s first SATB vocal percussion quartet. Through the text, they ask us to let go of our day-to-day preoccupations, our need to make our beds or make sure our watches run. The requests intensify, though, into more emotionally fraught territory, until we’re being told to disentangle ourselves from the traumas that drive us. I wanted to make that intervention feel like generosity and not intrusion. The ensemble plays tuned metal pipes and wood slats, deconstructs two drum kits and shares a vibraphone, singing in four independent parts all the while. I am in awe of their ability to do this, and honored by their willingness. Andrea Mazzariello ----------- ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Andrea Mazzariello is a composer, performer, writer, and teacher. His music thinks through the physiology of performance in terms of instrumental technique, often extended through technological intervention, and pays special attention to the treatment and setting of his own original text, spoken and sung.  He’s active as a solo performer of his own work, for a novel and evolving instrumental setup, and has presented in such diverse venues as the Knitting Factory, Cakeshop, the Queens New Music Festival, and the Wassaic Festival. Sō Percussion, Mobius Percussion, NOW Ensemble, Newspeak, the Berkshire Symphony, and many others have performed his concert music.  Recordings of his work appear on New Amsterdam Records and SEAMUS. In 2011, he completed his Ph.D. in Music Composition at Princeton University, writing on the vinyl resurgence and its connection to our ideas of physicality and abstraction in music analysis. He holds an M.M. from the University of Michigan and graduated magna cum laude from Williams College with degrees in music and english.  Andrea joined the faculty of the Princeton Writing Program in 2010, where he taught several first-year writing seminars, including "Music and Power" and  "Found Sound," through spring 2015. As Adjunct Professor in the production program at Ramapo College of New Jersey's School of Contemporary Arts, he taught beginning and intermediate electronic and computer music.  He currently teaches composition, music technology, and music fundamentals as Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Carleton College, and directs the composition program at the Sō Percussion Summer Institute. His first book, One More Revolution, will be published by The Operating System in 2017. ----------- FOLLOW US!
