about

Brenda's Truthful Hanging (1998) is a structured improvisation using everyday language as musical material. Three stories of encounters with small town law enforcement are used as sound sources. Segments and phrases from the stories are randomly selected and processed in real-time, creating a spontaneous palette of musical materials. Throughout the piece, sound bites from each of the stories are interspersed within the texture, allowing for a non-linear narrative. Three characters are central to the piece: Brenda tells her story of being unjustly stopped for speeding in Tennessee; David rants about the problems of the United States while being questioned and eventually arrested; and John Doe’s hanging death allows for the cold antidotes of rural police investigators.
