in nuce revisits a number of ideas left unexplored by collaboraxiom regarding the interaction of duple and triple subdivision. In the new setting, however, these ideas take on a very different character. The piece is a study in, and stylized representation of, the phenomenon of groupthink.
The piece was performed on May 5, 2003, by the Berkeley New Music Project, under the direction of Professor David Milnes.
After substantial revisions, the work was presented by the Ensemble-Akademie Villa Musica in concerts in late November 2009, under the direction of Frank Lloyd. Many thanks to Christoph Schneider for making the .mp3 available to me.
