Benedict Mason SEVENTH (for David Alberman and Rolf Hind)...

For Benedict Mason, such sources as an expedition or a landscape can provide an incentive for a composition to exist in a particular space.
Each concert hall has its own dimensions with its open or concealed “corners”.  It is thus not only an area for performing and perceiving, but with its germane acoustics (interior or exterior with performers near or far), and lighting, able to conjure an imaginary world, and set up a distinctive stage and environment for musicians to perform in. SEVENTH is not simply a duo, but a work for two virtuoso musicians well versed in the art of acting, speaking, instrumental invention, acoustic wit and many a Mason illusion with perception and electronics.
