[Aer] for 10 trombones - by joshua carro was composed on 3/24/22.

Commissioned, performed, and recorded by Dalton Harris (Berlin, Germany)


Photography: Dalton Harris
Mixing and Mastering: joshua carro
Recording Engineer: Robert Bosch

the idea of this piece was to have a progression of sonic landscapes that evolved from themselves. creating an unpredictable (but accurate) representation of a sonic personality.

If you listen closely to this work, you can hear that each section is a possible extension of its preceding rehearsal number. a possible evolution from the fundamental idea/sound palette which starts the work.

being that the trombone has a natural harmonic tuning, even when asked to play 'out of bounds' or make noise, all of the sounds are still within the harmonic range/content of possibilities from the instrument's acoustics. everything becomes 'in tune' and seems to have an identity.


Bonus Track:
[An End for a New Beginning] for 2 or more electroacoustic harps

Winning composition of the 2019 Synchromy Calls for Scores

harps: Liz Huston and Catherine Litaker
live electronics, recording, mixing, mastering: joshua carro

12/1/22 and 12/3/22 at CadFab Gallery - Los Angeles, CA World Premiere

[An End For A New Beginning] is a work that symbolizes the interest to use instruments in new and unconventional ways. Ways in which a composition is manifested through the nature of the instrument’s natural and amplified sound possibilities first and technique second.

"The world needs more new music for harp." Well said in my opinion. Thank you all for a wonderful, honest, and thoughtful review. Here's to the future. "{An End for a New Beginning} boldly leaves behind traditional musical forms and content, replacing these with a new and intriguing amalgam of the sonic and the visual." - Sequenza21

This performance was made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Culver City Arts Foundation, and in part by a grant from the American Harp Society, Inc.
