#8. DISTURBALON has a darker and denser presence than the other pieces in TUNE. I imagined it as a cold war era, industrial landscape, a place that no longer saw much of the sun. It uses a full orchestra, but most of the melodic writing is for the lower range players, the bassoon, cellos, French horns and trombones.
This was one of the first illustrations that Scot Howard did for TUNE. When I saw it, it confirmed he was the ideal artist for the project. At one of our early meetings I told him a minimal amount of background, but he sure got it and captured my music in color, shadow and attitude.
I’ve looked for but haven’t found any feral cats in DISTURBALON. They must be slinking in the shadows, hiding well out of sight.
