Annesley Black: Tolerance Stacks II

for five soloists and ensemble

(2021/2022)

»Tolerance Stacks« are calculations that determine the amount of deviation that mechanical parts can tolerate before the machine fails.

In TOLERANCE STACKS II, the »machine« is the piece. A soloist quintet with analog electroacoustic instruments enters into dialogue with the large ensemble, pushing all parameters-harmony, sound quality, tempo, rhythm, the role of soloists and ensemble, and the perception of transitional states-to the limits of their tolerance. The singer sings texts by two contrasting personalities, the inventor Thomas Edison and the inventor and poet Charles Cros.

In TOLERANCE STACKS II, Annesley Black explored the tension between man and machine and the enormous potential of transferring characteristic properties of electroacoustic instruments to »classical« instruments.

Sounds on the verge of breaking unite to create unique moments that express an unsentimental celebration of what is passing and cannot be reconstructed….an act of resistance to reducing unpredictable sensory experiences to preconceived parametric abstractions.
