- Inspired by the Japanese fashion designer Issey Miyake, a tech-creators in fabric, this piece will transform the idea of his fabric pleats into my music. Created by Miyake in the 1980s when he returned from Europe, “Miyake Pleats” are new methods of pleating that provide beauty and flexibility of the extremely light polyester fabric. After looking into Miyake’s techniques for creating the fabric, I translate the process of producing synthetic fabric to my musical pleats: liquified, extruded, extended,solidified, and spooled. Those five steps are embraced through the piece in different sections. The piece intends o translate the visual aspects of the fabric pleats to make a permanent sonic image of the pleats’ temporary movement.
