about

TESSALATION ROW (1986)
Commissioned by David Soldier for the Soldier String Quartet and premiered by them at Miller Theater in June of 1986. In this piece, the instruments of the quartet are all tuned in intervals defined by Fibonacci numbers. In addition to the tuning, Fibonacci numbers are used to derive all rhythms and structures. The score uses a form of tablature created to denote the string played, usage of open strings and overtones, and looping. Tessalation Row has the exact same structure in every performance though internal details will vary.
