385 x 40 Mpx. Luca Marenzio but w i d e, filtered and reversed
for flute solo [w/ circular breathing]
3' 30"
In June 2020 the new category of w i d t h (always in frame) emerged to dominate the proportions of many contemporary online artefacts. The inspiration for the first (?) e x t e n s i o n was an Italo Disco Song for Denise (Maxi Version) (1985).
In 385 × 40 Mpx that piece becomes the ”receptacle” of extension. The rising chromatic sequence from Solo e pensoso is ”filtered” in the piece through the layers of Song for Denise, which focuses the image of the Renaissance madrigal in contemporary times (i.e. June 2020) like a lens. Circulation continues: the focused falling chromatic progressions from Song for Denise (reversed Luca Marenzio) e x p a n d e d i n t i m e again.
