Program Notes: playthrough by Brian Questa Under Pressure by Brian Questa (2020) http://www.brian-questa.com/ Download game link (mac only): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FoOjQ74lbwoZks_2rZIkF_QUz7rH3ZVU this work was selected in the Fall 2021 #FollowMyScore call for works uploaded with permission from Brian Questa and Breitkopf & Härtel Helmut Lachenmann, Pression, EB 9221 © 1972 by Musikverlage Hans Gerig, Köln 1980 assigned to Breitkopf & Härtel, Wiesbaden Used by permission "Under Pressure is an interactive appropriation of Helmut Lachenmann´s 1969 work for solo cello, Pression. It is a participatory work, in that it requires a user to interact with the score of Pression, reimagined as - and completely transformed into - a 2D-Platformer, a type of video game, where a user-controlled avatar collides with surfaces in a 2D imaginary world. When the avatar collides with the various objects in Under Pressure, the gamified score acts as both an instrument which the user plays, and as an open work, which is completed by the interaction of the user." 00:00 Under Pressure This video is protected by copyright and/or related rights.
