Shadow Play
Dr. Paul Garza, trombone and electronics
“In Shadow Play, the Bass Trombone is placed in a meditative context, quietly drifting in thought surrounded with bells in a kind of dream state. As the bells become deeper, it follows them down into lower registers. The bells become more dark, less pitch-oriented, more metallic and the trombone becomes more chromatic and agitated. The title is a loose reference to Indonesian shadow puppet theater and sounds of gamelan instruments can be heard in the middle sections of the piece. I like the idea of the shadow puppet theater allowing the viewer to see both the shadow side (all black and white) as well as the colorful puppet master's side. The shadow play thus seems to ask the question: which side of the theater (and thus life) is real?”
