This app is a kind of album. The three pieces it presents were commissioned by Erika Boysen, a flutist and leading innovator in classical music and interdisciplinary performance. Because each piece incorporates singing, speaking, and moving into the performance, Erika wanted to make something more than an album — something that would show the performance in video, and also use video to explore the piece. Each piece in Moving Sound was recorded live in the environment you see. We wanted to make a new kind of media that combines the immediacy of electric delivery with the tactile interaction of a physical product, like a CD or LP. As well as videos, the app includes scores that move with the music, interviews from composers, and behind-the-scenes footage.
