Score for pairs of the same brass instrument
Vertical Neighbors is a composition for two pairs of the same brass horn instrument, presented on the occasion of Chacon’s solo exhibition at Swiss Institute NYC, A Worm’s Eye View from a Bird’s Beak. The score exists as a set of murals, visible to one or more musicians on the ground and their counterparts in an elevated position. A performance of this composition becomes an acknowledgement of vertical orientations as temporal relationships, aligning past and future knowledge.
Support for Vertical Neighbors is provided by the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation. Premiere performance by TILT Brass (Hugo Moreno, Nate Wooley — trumpet, Jen Baker, Chris McIntyre — trombone)
