Program Note
The title of the piece was taken from David Hockney's work called Pearblossom Highway.
Hockney used a large number of Polaroid images of the same item to create a complex art work. These images show the same thing but from different perspectives.
My work is built on a similar technique and examines the different possibilities of the same musical material. The pitch material that forms the basis for this work is a set of 11 tones. The missing tone (C) is not heard in its natural form and is "hidden" as a prepared mechanical noise on the piano and in marimba.
