Double Negative (Ryan Brown)

from ABLAZE AMIDST THE HORNS by Ignition Duo

/

about

Composer's Notes:

"Double Negative uses an overtone-based tuning to unleash roaring, towering chords of harmonics and open strings that dominate the first half of the piece, giving way to a groove-heavy second half with rock-inflected riffs and patterns."

------

Double Negative was commissioned by Ignition Duo and premiered at the Switchboard Music Festival in San Francisco on March 24th, 2013.
