Music cannot exist without a conception of space: mental space for the composer and physical space for the sound that propagates. The orchestra is the ideal instrument for providing space for sound. But for over two centuries, musicians have been arranged in identical ways! Wouldn't there be others? Over the last few years, I've been working on a triptych for spatialized orchestra, "The Köln Trilogy", in which I'm confronting these problems.
