- Program Notes
- This is an example of a rare piece of music of mine to come without a program. Instead this piece is an exploration of my current microtonal and timbral interests. In this delve into microtonality, I decided to focus on a couple of intervals that I would compose with, very much similar to my usual approach of using interval collections around a center pitch. I decided upon a 3rd detuned a quarter down, and a 5th tuned a quarter up. I have also decided to emphasize an unaltered 4th. In this piece, Noise Flies High can refer to the instruments gradually exploring their upper ranges as the piece goes on, a gradual increase of the emphasized intervals, and a lightening of the extended techniques which add a darkness and grittiness to the sound. The title simply comes from part of the lyrics to Daniel Avery’s EDM song Drone Logic.
