Max I. Chung’s ‘gradient’ premiers at Paulson Center in New York City
Max I Chung's hybrid piece "gradient" merges responsive technologies with a quartet of piano, clarinet, percussion and electric guitar. This piece was premiered at the Paulson Center in New York City.
Gradient explores the concept of imperceptible geologic change—the gradual shifts that go unnoticed until they culminate in a dramatic, often overwhelming realization. The work portrays a shift in texture and timbre but also reflects a deeper human experience of time, where the moments of transition are often invisible until their effects are fully felt.
