Bobby Ge - System Haptics Off, for percussion quartet (So Percussion)
Completed March 23, 2024
Premiered May 14, 2024 by So Percussion in the Lewis Arts Center, Princeton University
All of my music is in some way, shape, or form, grounded in how people interact. I have a particular interest in how new social norms develop in and around the presence of everyday tech: the unspoken rules of texting; the limits on cell phone time in public; where and when it’s permissible to cold call someone (i.e. never); whether a thought is more fit for an email, a text, or a direct message, etc.
For all of the incredible conveniences afforded by digital technology, people speak so disparagingly of its ubiquity that manufacturers have actually created features that specifically limit how much digital communication intrudes in daily life. Many of my friends and I permanently enable ‘Do Not Disturb,’ while permanently disabling the annoying buzz of haptic feedback - the way smartphones vibrate to make digital indicators seem more tangible.
This piece is about the inescapable presence of digital intrusion into regular life. The music begins gentle and malleable, vibraphone and steel pan trading phrases back and forth in a decidedly gooey treatment of time. Swiftly, though, sampled iOS sounds and hyperactive hi-hat activity interrupt the thoughtful opening texture. Initially attempting to coexist with these interruptions, the vibes and pans eventually get caught up in all the energy, hurtling headlong into a madcap hodgepodge of wild rhythms, notifications, and rude interjections.
System Haptics Off was written for the incredible musicians and pedagogues of So Percussion. They are some of the kindest, most generous, and most skillful musicians I have had the pleasure of working with, and they made the process of writing this piece an absolute joy.

    i studied composition at the late 90's and decided to get a career as a clarinet player later on as after my PhD I needed to support myself and couldn't quite make living off composing... so please read these as friendly comments and not trolling of some sort... I thought that a couple of pauses for more drama and breath won't harm...these full textures are only effective in relation to thinner ones... I also have a feeling upon lookin at your work that you compose directly into the notation software... no sketching by hand, am I wrong? I say that because when one writes by hand they immediately reflect on their work and don't compose endless streams rather "maniacally"... it's not bad just not a sighn for maturity... the difficult thing in composition is to make it light, not full...to emphasize the chamberness of those smaller ensembles...not to create bombastic textures... what do you think?

    • @bobbycge
      @bobbycge Před 9 dny

      those are really good takes! thanks for the thoughts! i will say when i began this piece that i wanted to write something short, forward-moving, and intense - though because of that, it definitely comes off a bit maniacal hahaha. i admit that i'm generally very attracted to pulling as large a sound as possible out of chamber ensembles i write for, though i agree that transparency and lightness can be signs of patience and maturity (lol things i lack)! thanks again for your thoughts - i'm currently working on another string quartet, and i'm hoping to try something a bit different from this one!

    • @OdeToTruth
      @OdeToTruth Před 9 dny

      @bobbycge I believe that among the advanced contemporary music lovers, those bigger sounds can only become significant due their context and what preceeded them, not due to their inherent glimmer or thrill... that is the true challenge of composing... to convince the audience that nothing is extra and all that there is could only be organized in a particular way, rather thoughtfully and not only craftfully...

      It is like 80 s Pop Jazz sound destabilized by durational incosistency/proportional notation and timbral string writing. It surely works formally. Though I would maybe prefer a more clear cut structure resembling to conventional one instead of one movement concerto form (which is quite contemporary in my perspective), and some extended techniques in Piano part also to create contrasts. But somehow this music maintains it's energy and the flow is quite attractive. I have been following your channel occcasionally I should admit inspiring works you load here

    • @bobbycge
      @bobbycge Před 29 dny

      thank you! honestly, in high school, i wasn't really much of a composer - mostly i just listened to a ton of music! i truly do think that's maybe one of the best things anyone can do at any point, as getting to know and love a wide variety of music helps you keep an open mind and broadens the kinds of techniques you're familiar with. i attempted to transcribe some of the music i really loved in high school (mainly film music at the time), and that in retrospect was very handy! and obv if you have friends who are musicians, it might also be really fun to make music for/with them. i didn't really get to hear anything i wrote performed until college, but that was mainly because my high school didn't have a real music program. hope that helps!

    Really interesting, the opening has some notes which sound exactly like a reversed recording. Not a sound I knew could be achieved live, let alone on a saxophone! I believe these are the "flair dramatically! sharp cutoff" notes - was there any additional technical instruction you gave to the players for that?

    • @bobbycge
      @bobbycge Před měsícem

      lol yeah, good ears! i'm a huge fan of that 'reversed piano hit' sound, and i use it maybe a little too much in my music haha. i didn't need to say any much more than the instructions i gave - i think one thing that helps is that flared crescendo, where the hairpin has those outward curves at the very end that emphasize how dramatic the sound should be. turns out it's a really easy sound to accomplish on a lot of instruments - sounds really great on brass too!
