Realignments was an original composition for Amar's 2011 UC Regents' Lecturer
appointment sponsored by the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies
(CNMAT). It was conceived as an exploration of timbral and phrasing possibilities of
both surround speakers and CNMAT's unique dodecahedral speaker system. Clouds of
ever changing harmonics envelope the listener while pointed sounds radiate and
"shoot out" from the dodecahedron. The piece has since been adapted for other
environments, including a performance at TheaterLab in New York, and now for the
massive multichannel system in this concert.
