  I conceived 'Requiem for a Character in the Dream' in 2004 for Susan Bickford's annual 'In My Backyard' art festival in Yarmouth, Maine. The piece consists of an impromptu soundscape accompanied by movements and foot stomps. At the end of the performance I unceremoniously drop my guitar to the stage. 'Requiem for a Character in the Dream' was unrehearsed. The only planned aspects of the performance were the tuning of my guitar and the sound and volume of its amplifier. Any particular noises that I created were in accordance with the relationships I began to notice between my instrument and the sources of its sound. As a sound would transpired I was continually adapting my fingering and my posture in order to deliver its counterpart. The performance lasted about 15 minutes. |
