Over the Edge of the World is a response to Partch’s own Ulysses at the Edge of the World, which i had been performing with the PARTCH ensemble several times. It poses the questions: what if Ulysses actually did go over the edge of the world? What would he have found there? At the moment the edge of the world is being researched in string theory and seems to lead into 11 dimensions. But how does traveling in 11 dimensions feel? On a technical side: the piece uses an 11-limit C-minor scale. Each of the three instruments follow its own structure, being a subset of the overall structure of the piece, using a slightly different version of this C-minor scale.
