Artificial is a piece that can be experienced both as an electronic track and as an acoustic performance for chamber orchestra. Written in 2022 for Alarm Will Sound, this piece investigates how electronic sounds can be translated for a traditional ensemble and how electronic music can be convincingly realized by human performers on instruments with a long history. The transcription process and the inherent qualities of the instruments have led to changes in the original composition, creating a new and unique interpretation of the work. Artificial was commissioned by the RPM Commissioning Fund for Alarm Will Sound.
