fishfossilfake by Lauren Redhead

fishfossilfake combines graphic notation, instructions for improvisation, and some notated sections in a musical exploration of the mystical, mythical, unchartered and obscure world under the sea. Three animals are chosen through which to explore this world, roughly corresponding to the three sections of the piece: the sea bass (who is fished, prepared, cooked and eaten); the four hundred year old shark (the Greenland shark, who has seen many changes in the ocean during her life); and the narwhal (who must be seen to be misunderstood, or perhaps believed). The musical ocean in which these animals exist is comprised of constant change, distortion, blurred repetition and development, creating the impression that nothing about these animals and the environment in which they live can be conclusively known.
