Ammons. The electronic component of the work was built from recordings of a string quartet accompaniment (performed by Michelle Satris, Lisa Liu, Nadia Sirota, and Clarice Jensen), electric guitar, and voice. The title comes from Chaucer&#8217;s description of the marginalia of gothic architecture; the word itself is an elision of two words &#8211; compass (signifying geometrical design) and singes (monkeys) &#8211; and it refers to the very secular images and ideas which commonly inhabited the fringes of sacred medieval art. This idea is reflected in the piece in a number of ways. For example, the canonic segments of the work play with the material introduced in the Ammons song in ways that are complex and at times even irreverent. For me, the title is most clearly reflected in the production of the quartet recordings themselves. I edited, mixed, and produced the quartet material as if it were a pop recording, with lots of somewhat overdone effects like compression, distortion, speaker emulation, double tracking, spatial effects, etc. I also wanted to exploit the spatial disposition of the soloist and surround-sound electronics to create a center vs. periphery conflict. &#8220;Compassinges&#8221; was written for and dedicated to Sam Solomon.<br \/>-Ryan Streber<br \/><br \/>Learn more about Ryan at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ryanstreber.com\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">ryanstreber.com<\/a><br \/><div><strong><span class=\"medb\"><br \/><\/span><\/strong>Live performance, Berklee College of Music, June 2005<br \/><br \/>\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gZvJaRG08ms\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<br \/><br \/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ryan Streber\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0ConcentricReleased on\u00a0New Focus Recordings,\u00a02014Featuring SZS on Compassinges (2003) for marimba\/vibraphone and sound filesand Line C3 on Cold Pastoral (2004)&#8220;Compassinges&#8221; for solo percussion and electronics (2003) is a single movement work arising from the imbrication of two independent pieces &#8211; a fast and highly canonic movement, and a slow, atmospheric song based on a poem [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[11,17],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5qnlH-9o","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":619,"url":"http:\/\/szsolomon.com\/ryan-streber-cold-pastoral\/","url_meta":{"origin":582,"position":0},"title":"Ryan Streber &#8211; Cold Pastoral","author":"Samuel Z Solomon","date":"November 9, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Ryan Streber - Cold Pastoral (2004)\u00a0Commissioned and premiered by Line C3\u00a0on May 8, 2004 at Sun Azalea Hall in Tokyo, Japan.Cold Pastoral\u00a0was composed in the winter and spring of 2004 for Line C3 and is scored for crotales, vibraphone, and a small battery of un-pitched instruments.
