I will compose an intermedia song cycle with the working title Simultaneous. Comprising several short pieces, each exploring the concept of simultaneity in some way, the work will make use of voice, gesture control, real-time electronic processing, language, and projected video—some of which will be reactive to sound and motion. The work’s content will stem from a range of ideas including the process of simultaneous translation, the mysteries of synchronicity, and the folly of this culture's preoccupation with “multitasking.”
