• Workshop: Sarah Davachi — Composition Techniques for Tuning and Temperament
Sarah Davachi is a Canadian composer and performer whose work is concerned with the close intricacies of timbral and temporal space, utilizing extended durations and non-equal tuning systems to underscore gradual variations in texture, harmonic complexity, intonation, and psychoacoustic phenomena. In this 3 hour workshop, she will explore compositional techniques as they pertain to matters of tuning and temperament, with particular focus on microtonality, just intonation, and historical temperaments. We'll listen to examples and look at scores selected from my own practice and from notable composers within the minimalist tradition, discussing a variety of approaches and attitudes.
