Attached or Detached (partial disappearance) is a composition that responds to Sari Dienes’ poem-score, “Experiment.” The composition takes inspiration from the poem’s absurd abstraction of a pie recipe, as well as from Dienes’ ink rubbings. Comprised of abstracted field recordings collected on and around the Jersey Shore, where I work as a part-time live-in nanny, this piece can be thought of as a kind of aural rubbing.
