Interwoven Soundscapes III for Trombone Quartet and fixed media

Interwoven Soundscapes III continues the examination of the interaction between live and recorded sound, merging contrasting sonic elements into a unified experience. The trombone quartet, interacts with the fixed media, sometimes blending its acoustic power with the digital track and other times creating sharp textural contrast. This exchange explores both the tensions and connections between collective human breath and electronic sound, drawing the listener into a space where the organic and the synthetic continuously merge, separate, and transform.

This performance by the Beltline Bones of Ali Balighi's 'Interwoven Soundscapes III' was given on February 21st, 2026 at St. Norbert College in Birder Hall.
