WILLYN WHITING, COMPOSER
SLEW (2019)
for orchestra 07'
2.2.2.2 - 4.3.3.1 - timp - strings
PROGRAM NOTE
SLEW was conceived in January of 2019 after I had become accustomed to the sounds of my modular synthesizer. I was enamored with the impossibly slow changes of frequency, tone, and timbre that the instrument could create. The following March I analyzed a recording of my synth in Spear and attempted to orchestrate my findings. It is an instrumental-synthesis project similar to my works Fade(2018) and Fuchsine(2019) which used piano and clarinet recordings respectively.
