The Atens (2022) was commissioned by Splinter Reeds. They asked for a piece for surround sound electronics and reed quintet. The piece was written during the summer of 2022 in Berlin, using my analog synthesizer to create the electronic part and I completed the Atmos surround sound mix in the computer music studios at Peabody. A particular kind of microtonality is achieved by placing upper partials in the electronics and lower partials in the acoustic instruments, making it very easy to play, but interesting to listen to. The piece takes advantage of the improvisers of Splinter Reeds, particularly the improvising skills of Dana Jessen, who has a featured solo in the middle of the piece.
