Negative Space
Rafael Hernandez
About this work:
In visual art, the term “negative space” describes the space around an object. Inspired by what the possibility of this could be in sound, I have sought to create a piece that would color and let stand out the negative space of music.
NEGATIVE SPACE was written for and is dedicated to Heaven Fan for performance at the 2004 HAMMER AND NAIL concert at Indiana University.
