In Lumine

In Lumine Tuo Videbimus Lumen (In Thy light shall we see light) 

— Psalm 36

I found these words evocative for their depiction of the emergence of light in the reflection between and the sublimation of the divine and the secular. The piece explores this timbrally in the passage between agitated textures and sustained pitches, consonant to vowel sounds and non-voiced to voiced utterances. These ideas of reflection and sublimation are also echoed by two parallel strands of pitch, separated by a tritone, which expand until their domains overlap.

This piece is one from a collection of my “acoustic electronic pieces”, so called because they attempt to explore the distinctive sound world of electronic music using solely acoustic performing forces.
