Sarah Zahorodni - "in my window are 6 moons"
Sarah Zahorodni - in my window are 6 moons
Zahorodni instantly creates a new sound world, shoving the audience into a seemingly primitive landscape.
in my window are 6 moons is a short, ethereal work for tenor saxophone and electronics. Sarah Zahorodni utilizes the sense of wonder created with her fixed media track to take full advantage of barely three minutes worth of music. The work was premiered during New Music Mosaic's "Timbre Vol. 1: Growth/Decay" virtual concert by saxophonist Andrew Hosler. Hosler is the ideal collaborator for new music, adeptly blending the sounds from his instrument with the electronics (see the full performance here).
Surprisingly, the highlight of Zahorodni's piece is not Hosler's beautiful tone and technique, but rather her expertly crafted electronic accompaniment track. in my window are 6 moons does not feel like many contemporary works for solo instrument and electronics, as the piece is fully integrated rather than just a soloist honking overtop of bleeps. Zahorodni instantly creates a new sound world, shoving the audience into a seemingly primitive landscape. Reflections of fascinating light scatter in all directions as the six moons float by the window.
