Ramifications..
( moving hips from side to side in the studio )
As one of the first works Michael created, Ramifications is a Solo work, dedicated to all four limbs beings.
The composition is written separately for four parts of the body, While the parts change from subject to subject (the performer).
An amorphous but concrete texture is taking over in which the four parts of the body are retuning each other.
The piece meant to be done in one movement that takes approximately 10-12 minutes.
It is performed fluently and without discernible rhythm.
It requires a none stress quality - almost a redundant atmospheric attention from the performer.
