Three Spaces In Mid-Air by John Fariselli Young published on 2021-07-20T16:37:53Z Stereo acousmatic music, dur. 10’55’’ ___________________________________ I 00’00’’ II 03’14’’ III 07’48’’ ___________________________________ Form, writes Nicolas Bourriaud, is ‘structural unity imitating a world.’ I have responded to this idea with 'Three Spaces in Mid-Air', which is designed as a continuous work in three discrete sections. Each explores the idea of spectral space through interaction and coalescence of sonic strata, as three dimensional objects ‘suspended’ before the listener. The work’s three sections also address the compression of form, each aiming to embody the atmosphere of a self-contained ‘world’—evoking implications of direction, tension and release while balancing states of stasis and motion. 'Three Spaces in Mid-Air' was premiered on June 21, 2017 at the Project(ion) Room, Brussels and gained first prize in the 2019 KLANG! Competition, Montpellier, France. Genre Acousmatic
