Ascension
by Sarah Weaver, composer/conductor
“Ascension” is written for premiere at “ResoNations 2010: An International Telematic Music Concert for Peace”. “Ascension” consists of composed, improvised, and conducted material. Conducted material utilizes gestures from the conducted language Soundpainting and original gestures created for the piece. All elements of the piece flow from and return to the drone. Within the latency of the telematic technology, the layered materials are written to create nodal and spectral relationships. The elements come together as an 'Ascension' to peace.

s/p(l)ace
by Sarah Weaver, composer/conductor
s/p(l)ace is written on notions of "space" "place", their composite emerging realities within the physical and virtual worlds, expansions of real-time into real-space, and the complex dynamics and depths of potentials in these new paradigms on personal and collective levels. The title is also a reference to Sun Ra's "Space is the Place" released in 1973, adapted to the present. The music properties of s/p(l)ace incorporate nodality, spectrum, intercultural dialogue, polyphony, multiplicity, generation, and synthesis.

Telein
by Sarah Weaver, composer/conductor
Telein is a Greek word meaning "to initiate into the mysteries". It is related to the Greek words 'telesma', 'telos', and the Arabic 'tilasm' طلاسم. Working with the premiere concert title Inspiraling: Telematic Jazz Explorations the piece incorporates time and development based on the fibonacci spiral sequence. This is intertwined with multiplicity, spectrum, impulse time, and nodality, to reveal the dimensionality of the music through the telematic medium. Telein is comprised of metaphor palettes, each containing content translated from metaphor. The palettes are modulated and processed by conducted gestures from the language soundpainting, traditional conducting, and original gestures developed for the piece. The form has been developed in collaboration with composer and bassist Mark Dresser.
Written for Inspiraling: Telematic Jazz Explorations. Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, coordinators. An unprecedented concert of new jazz works with renowned composers and performers for the telematic music medium. Telematic music is real-time performance via the internet by musicians in different geographic locations. Performers were located in New York and San Diego, playing together as one trans-continental ensemble in real-time and "real-space". There were local audiences as well as a world-wide webcast. The music explores elements of jazz fused with artistic properties of telematic technology including multiplicity, heterophony, swing, polyphony, synchronicity, and nodality. The transparent densities and intensities are manifested to create this new music reality of telematic jazz.

SLM
by Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, composers/conductors
SLM is the triconsonantal root of many words that translate to "peace" in several Semitic languages. These words include "Shalom" in Hebrew, "Salaam" in Arabic, "Sliem" in Maltese, "Salaamata" in Afar, "Selam" in Amharic, and "Shlama" in Aramaic. SLM for telematic bass ensemble, utilizes a form developed by Mark Dresser and Sarah Weaver, that translates metaphor into specific musical materials. These materials are modulated through the conducted language, Soundpainting. SLM was written for Deep Tones for Peace.
Deep Tones for Peace was an international internet music performance for peace in the Middle East taking place on April 26, 2009. It was performed live on the internet between internationally recognized bass players located in both Jerusalem and New York for local audiences as well as a world-wide webcast. Our intention is to add our deep voice to the growing worldwide appeal for peace in the Middle East. We sincerely hope that our music (classical, jazz and contemporary), can be received as it is being offered, as a sharing of distinct musical languages and structures that co-exist and are appreciated by all participants.
