The materials are the everyday sounds of Okinawa and conversations recorded there of my wife (who is from Okinawa), her family, and friends.  My interest in materials of this nature is an ongoing passion; I frequently use non-studio recordings as found objects, informal conversations or natural environments for example, and intuitively see where these materials take me.  I prefer to use non-studio recordings rather than studio samples because there is an imperfectness, a sense of vagueness, inherent in non-studio recordings that appeals to my sensibility.  The reason to use Okinawa was not to sonically evoke the location, but to have material that would remain tantalizing over the period of time required to write such a work.  I also have a particular connection to Okinawa; my wife, of course, is from Okinawa, and I've visited there three times over extended periods.  This helped create an emotional resonance in the way I developed the material of the piece.      The material for In Okinawa is unlike any I've used before; I decided to take the opportunity to create a broad canvas to explore all that interests me in fixed-media music: documentary approaches, soundscape and acousmatic music, lush harmonic sounds that you might find in the music of Brian Eno, and fanciful narrative strands one might encounter in the music of Luc Ferrari.        In Okinawa is a continuously evolving work, but it is also a collection of pieces with an overarching theme, analogous to the chapters in a novel. Because of its intended length, and because the finished product exists as an audio file (which can exist in a variety of media), In Okinawa is a work that offers a number of listening experiences: it can be performed publicly but also experienced privately; listeners may experience the work one section at a time, as they might read the chapters of a novel, or listen to it as a whole in one sitting. With In Okinawa, I wanted to create a treasure chest of sonic materials-intriguing, fanciful, and exciting."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-26T16:51:12Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Semegen, Daria"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Ellrott, Travis"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-26T16:51:12Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-26T16:51:12Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Music."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"4 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77817"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2012-05-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-26T16:51:12Z (GMT).
