JACK Quartet: McCormack

Program Notes

Timothy McCormack
your body is a volume (2016–19)

The performer and the instrument form a single body. Attention is drawn to the positioning and proximity of the appendages of this body, as well as their effortful and glacial movements—the body in acute proprioceptive relation to itself. This body does not move through a space; it becomes the space—the body as the site of kinesthetic inscription. We hear the body in its sound, and the sound subsumes us.
