The happiness handbook

Reflets de Francesca Woodman is an homage to the celebrated American photographer, born in Denver in and raised in Boulder, who unfortunately took her life at age 22 in New York City. The instrumentation of the electric guitar quartet gave me the idea of working with a similar sense of sonic refraction, splitting apart and recombining musical figures.

Examples of such ideas include prison poetry, wartime correspondence, tales of harboring the persecuted, and accounts of cultural performances within the walls of concentration camps. The CD concludes with the eponymous multi-movement work by Emily Hall. Instruments of Happiness is, to a great extent, the next step in this evolution. The quartet focuses on chamber music and encouraging the creation of new repertoire for this instrumentation. They explore the staggeringly large range of musical ideas available to the electric-guitar quartet: classic chamber music, warm jazz sounds, crunchy blues tones, straight-up rock energy, full-on experimental sonic chaos, and floating, serene soundscapes.
