Ripples - Randall Krieger | performed by Roberto Granados

Ripples is a work for solo classical guitar composed by Randall Krieger. The piece uses a “microtonal“ tuning: strings 6, 4 and 1 are tuned in octaves to D natural (tuned as in 12-tone equal temperament), strings 5 and 3 are tuned to a perfect fifth between A-quarter flat and E-quarter flat, and the second string is tuned to the natural seventh harmonic of D. The piece features long, resonant sonorities and gesturally-based phrasing that evoke textural “ripples.“ Ripples was composed for the “Quarantine Composers Collaboration Project,“ hosted by the Bay Area Composers Group and premiering new works via livestream by composers from the Bay Area.
