Description:

"Splectra" is an elegant harp solo embellished by a subtle digital processing that highlights certain harmonics as they appear in the piece. Each of the work's two sections gradually expands a simple rising motive, becoming harmonically richer by adding pitches related to the opening note's harmonic series. It is performed by Grammy-winning harpist Alison Bjorkedal."Bjorkedal's harp swept us away. She is an extraordinary harpist... Her technique was flawless, her artistry inspired." ("LA Culture Spot") Composer Robert Carl'seclectic music, which often explores a harmonic language based in the overtone series, is rooted in the spirit of transcendentalism and experiment. He is chair of the composition department at the Hartt School, University of Hartford.

?'Splectra' (2014) is in two sections, each of which expands a simple rising motive, growing harmonically richer as higher pitches related to its opening note?s (low C) harmonic series are added?. Digital processing of the acoustic tones emphasizes the harp?s upper frequencies, presenting a timbral analogue to the piece?s harmonic structure.? ?Robert Carl
