nocturne: n. a work of art dealing with evening or night (Merriam-Webster)

Spaces hold memories of the past. Nighttime is a portal into those past selves. One can feel all the previous versions of oneself sitting at the same piano, walking down the same street, hearing the same hums and creaks throughout the house. These endless loops can be both comforting and traumatizing.

A little night music. 

**A series of collaborative works pairing artists working in visual and auditory mediums, the Études meditate on individual musical concepts through experiments with sound and film.

Les Études are, as the title suggests, a study on concept, both for the visual artist and the composer. Each Étude begins from a single musical term, ranging from electronic music techniques to instrumental playing techniques to notational ideas. Paired composers and visual artists choose one term (from a predetermined list) to collaboratively explore – using various methods of their choosing to interpret, study, and explore potential meanings of the term. Pieces may be performed live (in whole or in part) or may be fully electronic. The methods, interpretation, length, subject matter, and all other variables are the sole decision of the collaborating visual and auditory artists.**
