MicroTextual uses Harry Partch's seminal composition, Barstow, as a jumping off point for works that explore the spaces between the keys—and between the words. Isaac Schankler's new work for soprano, women's chorus, and synthesizer, Honey, Milk and Blood, examines inventor Nikola Tesla's vision of a utopian maternal society, with live performative sculpture by Kim Ye. Artist Quintan Ana Wikswo presents two text performances installations, Floriography and Enochiography, which are counterpointed by Cal Lamb's haunting Field (for Agnes) and David Rosenboom's athletic In the Beginning: Etude I (Trombones). In Jeffrey Holmes' song cycle Fragments, latin text hovers microtonally above acerbic piano accompaniment while Bill Alves' just intonation masterpiece Luminescence, for choir and fixed media, connects sacred numbers with sound, bringing the celestial back to earth.
