Full Title:
Futility for Trombone and Recorded Accompaniment
"On escaping commercial music"
Performance Directions:
Some degree of "acting" is required, as the performer is asked to shake their head, leave the stage, and throw pages off their stand. Performers are encouraged to act out the struggle in additional ways to those marked in the score.
Program Note from the score:
Futility is a work embodying the struggle of a single musician to overcome the influence of commercialized music. We are inundated with commercial music and exposure to it is inescapable, thus it effects every musician in some form. Futility features an electronic track as accompaniment that was composed using commercially available audio loops and automatic beat generators-thus every sound the trombonist struggles against is both musically and literally commercial. The trombonist begins with some tentative entrances, moving towards an emulation of the electronic background.
Extra copyright information: The purchaser may copy pages if they are needed to achieve successful performance(s) and are used by a sole performer. (e.g. an extra first page to throw, or an extra page for offstage.)
