Players:

Travis Weller – amplified violin
James Alexander – amplified viola
Brent Fariss – amplified contrabass
Nick Hennies – percussion, cymbales d'un dieu
Keith Manlove – electronics

Notes:

A dramaturgical environment in g minor: A man is judged by another…though the wrong assumption was made. Often people see the worse in others, but in reality are looking at themselves. Judgment turns to realization which then turns to self-loathing. Inspired by a true story.

The piece incorporates electronics along with the string trio and percussion amplifying resonant qualities of the instruments and the room.
