Ephemeral Circuits

counter)induction will return to Williamsburg Biannual on February 6th for a program that explores the architecture of this new space through performances distributed throughout its volume. Kyle Bartlett's work for solo cello, “One May Come” (2022) speaks to the poetics of anticipation, allowing expressive silence to ballast the hesitance and emotion of awaiting the lover’s arrival. Douglas Boyce's “In Stylus Phantasticus” (WP) for clarinet is a 24-tone exploration of the dimensionality of the musical space of pitch and rhythm. Fausto Romitelli's "Trash TV Trance" (2002) is a groundbreaking solo electric guitar work that fuses contemporary classical composition with rock influences, demanding complex techniques and extensive effects to achieve its psychedelic sound. And to bring the performers together, Jukka Tiensuu's “Rubato” (1975)actuates the relationship between the individual and the collective, wherein all players share a single melodic line but perform it with free tempos, creating ever-shifting layers of polyphony.

With over twenty-five years of “fiery ensemble virtuosity” (The New York Times) and winner of ASCAP/Chamber Music America’s Award for Adventurous Programming, counter)induction continues delivering world-class performances of compelling contemporary music.
