They Move in Three Second Phrases, Glowing

2021-2023, music composition and script

They Move in Three Second Phrases, Glowing is a music composition for piano and metronome to be performed in time with the heartbeat of the pianist.

It forms a dyadic body of work with choreographed performance Body Memo. Together they explore memory, narrative, and touch. Layers of direction are revealed throughout the works, existing as internal embodied scores and interpersonal cues. The projects cite the psychological hypotheses of haptic memory and kinaesthetic empathy, bearing witness to partial narratives which unfold through touch, research-led composition, and stillness.
