- Program Notes
- Jouer is an immersive composition for amplified soprano saxophone and electronics that explores sounds associated with “play”—sports, balls bouncing or being hit, playground and amusement park sounds, sounds of various children’s toys, balloons, video games, swimming pool games, trampolines, casinos, racetrack sounds, and much more. The electronics lead the listener through various soundscapes associated with the theme, while the saxophone part interacts with the evolving timbres and unifies the various sound worlds. Reid composed the piece at Yaddo and MacDowell as part of her Guggenheim Fellowship. The piece was composed for Kyle Hutchins and the Cube at Virginia Tech.
