The Book of Changes

The Book of Changes

Vibraphone and Live Electronics

Composer's Note:

The Book of Changes is inspired by the I Ching. There is an improvisation for the vibraphonist and computer nested within the composition. For the improvisation, the performer and computer are given two phrases of music inspired by the fundamental trigrams of the I Ching. These phrases then lie at the center of each improvisation and the work as a whole. The intent of the performance is to create an engaging balance of the musical phrases and gestures.
