Negative Capability II

Two-player ‘alternate’ version of Negative Capability (2022) (15'/variable)

Program Note:

Negative Capability II is a two-player re-working of my existing Negative Capability, which was composed for Jesse Langen. This version of the piece uses the existing score as proportional notation, with a wider range of implements and guitar pedals. This project emerged as part of the 2022 Omaha Under the Radar Festival, where Jesse and I had three days in a (haunted) Airbnb before our festival performance and decided to take a new angle with the piece as collaborators.
