Under; elsewhere (2020) WP by Stephen C. Altoft published on 2024-03-23T22:13:43Z Under; elsewhere (2020) for quarter-tone trumpet in C The ‘After Times’ –– a new reality. Time passes weirdly here. Distances are strange. Gravity is different. Prepositions no longer make sense. Up is down is left is right, inside is outside, and is under and over. The after times – an Escher-esque existence. Otiose: producing no result or effect Outraged: angered at something unjust or wrong Overcritical: inclined to judge too severely Overwrought: deeply agitated especially from emotion Outmoded: old-fashioned Offcious: intrusive in a meddling or offensive manner Overmodest: shy especially in a playful or provocative way Odious: unequivocally detestable Emily Koh (b.1986) is a Singaporean composer based in Atlanta, Georgia whose music reimagines everyday experiences by sonically expounding tiny oft-forgotten details, and is characterized by inventive explorations of the intricacies of sound. Her work also explores binary states such as extremes/ boundaries, distinguished/ ignored, and activity/ stagnation, through her unique Teochew and Peranakan Singaporean lens. An amateur multi-disciplinary artist herself, she enjoys collaborating with creatives of other specializations, especially when sound plays a central role in the project. Emily is currently Assistant Professor of Music Composition at the University of Georgia, USA.
