Agilus, Mimoid, Symmetriad (2012) lindsay vickery

Violin I Violin II Viola Cello

Agilus,  Mimoid,  Symmetriad  takes  its  name  from  three  of  the  "oceanic  forma:ons"  of  the  sen:ent  planet  Solaris,  as  described  by  Stanislav  Lem  in  his  1961  novel  of  the  same  name.   The   work   employs   a   scrolling   score   allowing   for  coordina:on   of   complex   and   con:nuously   evolving  structures.  The  original  string  quartet  version  of  the  work,  premiered   earlier   this   year,   is   here   augmented   by   piano  and  electronic  processing  of  the  acous:c  instruments.  

The score scrolls from left to right. The notation is proportional and principally graphical.

Each of the four instruments is colour coded.

For string quartet

Other graphical indications:

natural harmonic (c# on the 1st string)

Artificial harmonic with changing

bow pressure and left hand pressure allowing the pitch to fall

back to the open string.

Noisy sul pont with very light bow varying within the dynamic pp to mf.

Pizzicato shifting in pitch within a

semitone.
