Turnstile
Douglas Geers
About this work:
Turnstile is a short work for violin with computer-generated sounds which contrasts moments of “interior” and “exterior” experience, plunging the listener into an auditory environment of samples which have been abstracted to varying degrees, contrasting supple melodic lines and soft textures with boisterous rhythms and crunchy sound colors. The work was commissioned by and written for violinist Maja Cerar.
