local bond is the first in a series of works that explore physical connections and shared spaces between performers as the key determining factor for the work’s material and environment. The unstable space generated by a fluid instrumental apparatus in combination with the performers’ actions calls for a reliance upon and responsiveness to not just the other performers, but the instrumental assemblage as a whole.
Written for Stony Brook University’s ‘Premieres!’ concert, local bond’s first performance was by the university’s Contemporary Chamber Players under the direction of Eduardo Leandro.
