Gestalt Variations

from Concrete Oasis by Benjamin R. Fuhrman

/

about

The "Gestalt Variations" are centered around the concepts of variation of similar materials through iterative mutations, contrasted with phased entropy. Over the course of the piece, samples grow and change – sometimes in relation to their original state, and sometimes in different directions – creating a flowing texture of continual evolution, bounded by unedited melodic fragments from the solo guitar. It is essentially an unfolding, an evolution from simplicity into complexity and back, while the listener's mind attempts to reconcile the fragments to form musical ideas. Much of the "Variations" was inspired through my readings in gestalt psychology and evolutionary biology.
