Op. 2: Tenuto senza Gravità
Monodrama for Voice, Machine Orchestra
Pesante, ma senza peso.
---
The voice still has no body. This time it borrows a dancer's.
She lives inside a glasshouse, on a barre no wider than her foot, where every movement has a cost. For months the air has been heavy,and she has learned her shape from that weight.
Then, on an unremarkable afternoon, gravity simply lets go. Rain begins. Snow follows. Beneath the orchestra, a pulse that was always there starts to beat.
She is free, and she refuses it. She keeps dancing as if the weight were still there, burning herself to imitate a resistance that no longer exists, until the glasshouse is on fire in the snow and only her shape remains.
A score can ask a note to be held.
It has no way of asking it to stay
