Mason In a world of invisible waves: a butterfly (2016)

In a world of invisible waves: a butterfly is a response to the idea
of the butterfly effect : that a small cause can have a
disproportionately large effect. Before composing the music I wrote
this short poem in order to focus my imagination and help with shaping
the most appropriate sonic gestures:
- In a world of invisible waves: a butterfly
- Flies into a storm
- Which it unknowingly created
- When it took its first flight
This narrative is not literally translated, but maybe you can hear the
resonances of delicate flapping and mercurial weather somewhere amid
the rippling waves of the music? It is warmly dedicated to Catherine
Le Bris.
