Either/Or performed the world premiere of "Public Works" at ISSUE
Project Room on June 23, 2012.
"For any standard instrumentation (string trio or quartet, wind
quintet, whatever) playing standard repertoire. Having chosen a
piece from repertoire, each player to play other than their usual
instrument (first violin to play cello, for example), and play only
those notes they deem necessary (because they give the player an
opportunity to change their mind, because they make other notes
possible, or for some other reason other than their mere
existence). Once started, there should be no attempt to synchronise
time."
"Public Works" is a 2012 commission of New Radio and Performing
Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence website. It was made possible with
funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
