Bettina Marie Ezaki - Aske Zidore: Lark Animations

Lark Animations is an exploration of the songbird's existence through a commemorative study, drawing inspiration from its movement patterns and heralding calls of spring. The player is surrounded by twelve sheets of music, forming an organic open-world system that animates the gestures of the body, the movements of the bow, and the resonance of the violin, echoing a singing lark soaring through the skies. Through it's non-linear arrangement and open structure, the actual duration is left at the discretion of the violinist. The two recorded takes of Lark Animations represent arbitrary motions through the score, serving as the A and B sides of this release.
