Strait Pursuit
viola duo
(2015)
Performance by John Pickford Richards and Elizabeth Weisser
An eternal chase, unclear who is the chaser and who is being chased, never to be caught or reached.
The two scores create a desynchronized relation between the local, fast-reacting, sense of time and the one which accumulates and structures itself over longer periods. The composition exists in the space between the two scores, aiming to reach a point of nothingness; a state at which each of the scores is folded onto the other, acting as a screen through which the other is seen;
the performers also act towards one another as shadowing elements, whose only significant
existence is in relation to each other.
