About this work:
"Peter's People" is a 3 movement suite derived from the video of the same name. The music was composed by Barton McLean, and the video by wife Priscilla McLean, on a commission by the Arts Center of the Capital Region through the Petersburgh Library and the Taconic Corporation. The video depicts and profiles 7 artists living in the small mountain village of Petersburgh, NY and how they have strived and struggled and kept to their own vision through the years.
All three movements used the Kyma System exclusively in the composition. Each composition was done using one pass of a Kyma Timeline with no additional MIDI input. "Moving Along" draws on a number of samples, most prominently those of cellist Ronald Feldman.
