something else

something else (2022)

for piano solo

composer: brice mayfield

performance time: approx. 20-30 min.

this piece expands on cyclic elements and contrapuntal canon writing, as well as a method of expanding chord progressions into new, elongated states of tonal suspension. its name simply comes from the fact that it was something else i was writing, and i never thought it would turn into such a large project! dedicated to my dear friend and wonderful colleague rebekah lambert, my aim for this composition was not only experimentation in compositional methods, but also giving freedom to the performer in terms of creativity, letting one choose their own tempos, colors, and dynamics throughout the piece.
