Fill in the Blank (2017)
A partially notated piece for any four instruments.
Fill in the Blank is an incomplete work. For one, the instrumentation of the piece is left ambiguous; the ensemble chooses which parts sound best on which instrument. In addition, certain passages within the piece are left unwritten; each musician receives general instructions as to how these unwritten sections are supposed to sound, and then decides on-the-fly what to play to piece together the whole. As a result, no two performances of this piece—even with the same musicians!—will sound exactly alike.
