Invisible Horizon

Invisible Horizon for horn takes inspiration from ideas of a black hole. Sometimes
the horn plays long, floating melodies, conjuring images of drifting through space;
at other times it is intense and clipped, as though being subjected to an intense
physical force. Beyond the event horizon of a black hole, time and space is
warped beyond all recognition. This concept of warping makes its way into
Invisible Horizon through subtle elongation and contraction of phrases, and
through the technique of sliding between an open note and one that is stopped by
the hand, producing a strange, filtered sound. Blacks holes are discovered by
observing celestial objects orbiting an invisible object, and in this piece the
harmony rotates around an unheard note until the very last phrase.
