The first movement of Electric Echoes: A Cosmic Tech Opera is out now on Studio Shangri-La / OCTAVES Music Publications. This was released last year as an album and even received an ASCAP concert writer’s award. It was composed for the most part by coming up with the general harmonic framework and then improvising. So that has been a task going back and fully notating the movements!
One of the main reasons for composing this tech opera Electric Echoes is to share the score for performance! Going forward— I’ll definitely be notating everything from the start! Yet, that the composition was based on the performance – and not the other way around – created a unique, dreamy jazzy atmosphere.
The “Digital Overture” as performed is a symphony or ensemble of synths plus the vocal singing and spoken word parts. And the score contains notes about to replicate this, or adapt to different instrumentation, such as orchestral.
This first movement is about 10 minutes long and is a 31 page download or paperback, and presents the overall message of the opera — the beauty of innovation and evolution in the cosmos, on all scales. And it has different cosmic characters, from forces of nature, to celestial bodies, to humans, AI & microbes.
Here is the recorded version for reference:
The next five movements are forthcoming as well as new compositions! : )
