Wind Gust 42048 – Matt Giannotti

Wind Gust 42048 is based on wind data from a buoy in the Atlantic Ocean during a time span of 5 days when the recent Hurricane Matthew passed overhead. The piece is built using a series of recurring motifs which grow in in dynamic and intensity, correlating closely to the intensity of the data from the storm. The musicians will surround the audience from above, and all will walk around, in effort to capture the nature of the chaotic storm interior. The proportions of the piece relate directly to the wind data, and the piece will end as calmly as it began.
