about

When three or more people are at a loud bar or party late at night and have already had a few drinks, the conversation topics often change suddenly and people tend to interrupt each other frequently. Individuals will also bring up earlier topics that were interrupted and the cycle continues. Especially at parties, another element of sudden change is the possibility to move in and out of different conversations with different groups of people very quickly. As people become more tired and intoxicated as the night progresses, conversation becomes even more fragmented, exaggerated, and exhausted.
In Late Night Banter, I explore these ideas musically. Several different, but related musical ideas are presented very suddenly and in quick succession. These ideas banter back and forth as they change, grow, deconstruct, and are interrupted by new material. Each idea becomes a dominant voice in the conversation at one point or another, pushing the others aside to make their statement. Ultimately the ideas tire of trying to dominate the conversation, but continue to do so nonetheless. The original voice has the final say with one last bold statement at the very end. Late Night Banter was written for ALEA III and premiered in October of 2011.
