now from now — Susanna Hancock Music

now from now (2017)

Written for the 2017 Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival.

program notes:

The title, Now from Now, alludes to a syntactical glitch; the idea that time is both linear and cyclical, that ideas are malleable, and that patterns can recur and collapse. With this piece I imagined a roomful of turntables playing the same sounds at different speeds, sometimes pulling apart and at other times, coming together.
