Paul Greenhaw: Use the Bridge Between the Trees to Avoid Blindness (2005)

“Use the Bridge Between the Trees to Avoid Blindness (2005) is a four movement work for two organs and drums. Because the music is written specifically to accompany a video, the performers perform the piece using a click-track, thus giving rise to stringently synchronized visuals and music. The work is designed within a just intonation schema which uses, exclusively, the prime integers 3 and 11. The recording you hear here has Sean Ferguson on organ and Paul Greenhaw on organ and drums — it was recorded by Wharton Tiers at his New York, NY studio. The piece should be heard at a relatively high volume.”
