This hour-long work features sustained tones in microtonal just intonation, with harmonies that morph from the beautiful to strange, with melodic gestures that emerge from the mass. Trevor Treglia is a composer and sound artist based in New York City. His practice centers on timbre, tuning, and pitch perception, exploring how specific harmonic relationships shape auditory and emotional experience. Diapason is a Los Angeles based quartet focused on perceptual phenomenon in long form drone music for brass instruments. The ensemble is Nev Wendell (trumpet), Nicholas Ginsburg (french horn), Mattie Barbier (trombone), and Mason Moy (tuba).
