HONORARY MENTION
EMPREINTES
Joshua Fineberg
Empreintes seeks to steal bits and pieces of movement and color from a musical evolution, using them to create something new: a sort of halo spiralling around a musical process. At times it may seem simply an imprint of surroundings, enriching without truly altering its context; however, at other moments, it may become a force of transformation itself. By capturing fragments of one object and transmitting them to another, both it and the objects from which the material has been captured are changed. Thus textures and colors do not interact directly, as in most pieces; they must pass through this conduit, whose presence may be more or less felt depending on the moment. The evolutions become oblique, in a way: objects maintain their own inertia while slowly being pulled toward each other. In the space between and around them is the new object, which exists as a kind of transformed reflection of its surroundings.
