Tim Weiss conducts Manson Ensemble

“We ignore space just because it is uniform, as water to fish and air to birds.” – Alan Watts

+−(polarity) was composed for this forgotten space in which elements or dimensions within it are abundant, yet normalised and near impossible to be given comprehendible descriptions; consciousness, motion, time and electricity. Through the soundscape that this music creates, my intention is to form our awareness and space as one. The essential idea of this piece requires a new way of layering instruments within an ensemble in the hope to heighten our perception of the space.

This piece was commissioned by the Manson Ensemble, conducted by Tim Weiss and premiered in SPACED festival at Royal Academy of Music, London.
