Weeping Bamboo
(2015)
- For solo flute and fixed media
- Duration: 7 minutes
- Recorded materials feature Erzhan Xu on various bamboo flutes
Weeping Bamboo marries live western flute performance with a pre-recorded atmospheric soundscape, composed based on materials recorded by flutist Erzhan Xu using the Xiao, Dizi, and Xun (Chinese wind instruments). The resulting piece is a journey of mystery and color, as the flute dances in counterpoint and conversation with the ethereal fixed media. The soundscape of the piece evokes the imagery of a bamboo grove, with the flute embodying the plaintive call of the weeping bamboo.
