Luminous
for solo contrabass and chamber ensemble
seul contrabasse et ensemble de chambre
Luminous was inspired by Mark Dresser’s uniquely powerful musical expressions and innovative techniques for the contrabass. The instrument’s rich spectra embody ‘voices’ that encompass extreme opposites – lightness and darkness, angels and ghosts, paradise and inferno – unified by a singular vibrating body. The composition explores these voices, starting with bowing on one string that produces multiphonics, double-stop bowing, and pizzicati. It concludes with the threading technique (attaching the bow from beneath the string), which allows the performer to bow multiple strings simultaneously. Lei Liang

Description
Luminous was inspired by Mark Dresser’s uniquely powerful musical expressions and innovative techniques created for the contrabass. The instrument’s rich spectra embody 'voices' that encompass extreme opposites – lightness and darkness, angels and ghosts, paradise and inferno – unified by a singular vibrating body. The composition explores these voices in a few large sections, starting with bowing on one string that produces multiphonics, double-stop bowing, and pizzicati. It concludes with the threading technique (attaching the bow from beneath the string) which allows the performer to bow multiple strings simultaneously. The last section is subtitled 'The Answer Questioned' as an homage to Charles Ives and György Kurtág.
Luminous was composed for bassist Mark Dresser, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and its Music Director Steven Schick. It was made possible by a generous grant from TenFourteen LLC, an arm of the Jebediah Foundation. Lei Liang
