Pat Carroll - Plight
___
'Plight' was written in mid-2023 up at Macmasters Beach on the NSW central coast, where I’ve written plenty of music in the past.
Macmasters is a very special place, as it can be very quiet and allows for plenty of solitude and introspection.
The atmosphere always finds a way into the music I write up there.
This piece is really one big process of expansion. I wanted to create something that starts small and gradually grows to envelope the listener completely.
I was interested in exploring the two opposing types of material, the note and the noise, or the tone and the texture.
Specifically, I was exploring how these two elements play roles in creating instrumental timbres, but also can act independently from each another.
(I was very inspired by some of the music of Loscil and Tim Hecker at the time.)
Emotionally, I hear a big sense of release or surrender to this piece; a release from something like frustration or despair.
I feel that this piece is one for those harder times, hence the title.
Enjoy,
Pat.
