Music for Saxophones, Percussion and Harry Partch Instruments
World Premiere of “Future Lilacs” (2016) by Ken Ueno
Notes
Color Theory Concert: PRISM Quartet and Partch
Ken Ueno: My work, “Future Lilacs,” metaphorically connects to color theory in blending different temperaments. It is the scientific reduction of sounds to a common denominator (thinking in terms of frequencies rather than scales) that helps me with this approach, which I consider a Newtonian way of rationalizing the ineffable.
