Fall Performance of Septet in NYC

Fossilized Memories, Splintered Futures was performed by the Soundscore Septet at Leath Hall in New York City. The piece delves into the emotional and conceptual tension between two contrasting sonic landscapes, each representing a different dimension of time. One landscape propels the listener forward with a relentless, anxious, and frenetic rhythmic pulse, symbolizing a fractured vision of the future shaped by uncertainty and acceleration. In stark contrast, the other evokes a dreamlike, introspective atmosphere, characterized by stillness, resonance, and a quiet sense of longing—an echo of the past suspended in memory. The piece unfolds as a journey through this temporal dichotomy, weaving between the driving urgency of what lies ahead and the haunting fragility of what has been left behind. As the composition progresses, these two forces—momentum and stasis, anticipation and nostalgia—interact in an increasingly volatile relationship, ultimately converging in a final dramatic clash that questions whether reconciliation between past and future is possible, or whether they are forever destined to fragment and collide.
