What's included: Full scores + parts (PDF)
Description: From Soma (gr. Body) and Pneuma (gr. Soul). This piece imagines the working of a modern computer working through the parsing of natural language. As the buffers clear with each fanfare, the incessant drive of digitized words are parsed. Each strike of percussion represent the mechanistic process of representing language while the pitched instruments soar above it painting in sound the meaning that the digital process cannot grasp. You can read a transcript of a conversation with AI that demonstrates precisely this fact on substack.
