Supralateral is a piece for ensemble about the molecular scatterings of light found in halos in the atmosphere. My interest in this was sparked by the complex phenomena of geometric rings, pillars, and arcs and how they could be used to think about points and lattice in the dimensions of sound. These dimensional explorations involved looking at geometric microtonality, timbral and spectral divergence, and an overarching holistic glow. Like the refraction and reflection of light through diamond shaped ice crystals, the performers use an altered form of a tetradic diamond to construct an assemblage of relations, based on the work of music theorist Ervin Wilson. I deviated from the just intonation whole number ratios as if it were a mode within a larger harmonic context. I also stretched and warped images of halos to diverge from their original shape and explore designs more in the realm of science fiction and time dilation. I wanted to create a psychedelic glowing luminescence multi-structural extrapolation of lines. This extrapolation is an imaginative continuation beyond the original image. I call this a ‘surrealist treatment’ which led me to work with surrealism in sound, taking liberties through extensions, augmentation and warping. I wanted to capture the nebulous difference between an object and a non-object. By non-object I mean the highly variable incorporeality of sound, not always part of our conscious perceptual field. Also, the misperceptions that occur in the mingling and superimpositions of time within multi-state paradoxes.
