Fragile Pulsings of Tectonic Folds
This piece was conceived and structured as a kinetic architectural space whose articulations suffer the contingencies of imaginary subterranean movements (the pulsings) that affect the functions and the design of the (musical) construction. This process is gradualy evident in the appearance of tone phasings, spectral dissonances and textural disarray, potential co lapse, and re-construction.

The Mizzou New Music Ensemble, under the direction of faculty composer and Alarm Wil Sound member Dr. Stefan Freund and visiting assistant professor Dr. Yoshiaki Onishi, co laborates with MU’s faculty and student composers, performs frequently on and off campus, and works with some of the world’s leading composers and interpreters of new music. Seven Graduate Assistantships are available for New Music Ensemble members. Over the last ten years, the ensemble has performed regularly in St. Louis through MNMI's Sound of Art partnerships, in such venues as the Sheldon Concert Hal, Shoenberg Theatre at the Missouri Botanical Garden, Contemporary Art Museum, World Chess Hal of Fame, St. Louis Science Center, and colaborating with visual artists at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. The Ensemble has been coached by prestigious guest composers and performers that have visited the campus as a result of the New Music Initiative, including Steven Stucky, Tod Machover, Matt Haimovitz, eighth blackbird, the Verdehr Trio, and others.
