- slow dissolve for 3 wind players
Stephen Ryan Jackson
- slow dissolve Performance Notes: Open Score: slow dissolve is a piece designed to be played by any combination of three wind instruments. Ranges are given below but if a particular pitch is out of an instruments range then the performer may play the pitch up or down an octave. The score is originally in concert pitch with part I & II in treble clef and part III in bass clef. Parts for instruments in transposing keys or different clef are available upon request. Extended techniques are designed to be performable by any wind instrument.
Ranges: Part I C4 - A6 Part II B3 - C#6 Part III C2 - A4
Extended Techniques: Time & Spatial based notation: The time brackets at 1 repesent the passage of time. Showing an approximate duration for each rest. Starting at 2 the duration of each rest is to be determined by the performer with a guideline given ex. (between 1 - 4 sec.). This will lead to parts naturally getting ahead and behind each other which is what is intended. At 5 the players should play erractically with very little time spent on rests. Performers should play from the score in order to better keep track of where the other members of the ensemble are at a given time. Verticle notes should not line up rhythmically and instead the piece should give off a floating and almost "aleatoric" effect. Thick black duration lines with a time range are used to show a pitch is held for the duration. If above the duration line is the note "until out of air" the performer should hold the note as long as possible (within reason/ do not circular breath). The pitches with duration lines are always non. vibrato. The transitions between rehearsal marks should be imperceptable.
Articulation: Unless the pitch has a black duration line, all notes are to be articulated with a slight accent but with a full weight and value (not so short that pitch becomes difficult to discern).
Dynamics: The entire piece should be one giant dimminuendo. The loudest note should be the first and the softest note should be the last. Performers should take care not to cresc. just because a section is rhythmically denser than another. Occasional sfzorzandos are marked and these should stick out of the texture.
fluttertongue: notated using, fluttertongue is the rolling of your tongue like "r" in spanish or the vibrating of your uvula while playing.
color trill: notated using, trill using alternate or color fingerings in order to create a slight microtonal warble in the pitch.
air sound + slap tongue: notated using, use a sudden rush of air combined with the sudden stopping with the tongue. Should sound percussive with little to no pitch.
wild sporadic key clicks: notated using, wildly alternate key while not playing to create a drone of key clicks. Should be as loud or louder than the pitches around the key clicks.
audible breathing: starting at 9 audibly inhale before every drone pitch.
air tone: notated using, blow air through the instrument instead of playing with tone. There should still be a little bit of pitch.
Program Notes: Copyright © 2017 Stephen R. Jackson The initial idea for slow dissolve was the idea of decaying and dissolving materials. Over time large chunks break up into smaller and smaller pieces until the original object is entirely unrecognizable and ends up becoming part of the solution. The piece creates a soundscape that resemble the sensation of watching a solid object dissolve over time. Large solid materials become specks that eventually become liquid. Everything in life eventually decays and dissolves.

* After the initial cue, do not cue, move or give any indication to where the next note will land. Attacks will not land precisely together but instead will create a "flam" effect within the ensemble. As section 1 develops, create more space within the flam, drifting further and further apart until 2
