Kairos

Kairos is now complete.  This is the title of my 15 minute microtonal orchestral composition.  I talked a little about this work in the liner notes on the Man Cannot Hit On The Right Time To Act EP, available here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/man-cannot-hit-on-right-time/id473817969

Check out the program note:

Kairos was composed using a method I developed to incorporate text into my music (without writing for a vocalist).  This was achieved by converting words into numbers using various ciphers, and using the resulting numbers in mathematical equations to determine parameters such as pitch, velocity and density.  

Kairos is a Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment.  The text I used in the piece was Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 from the Bible, whose verses speak of the passage of time and the changes that time will bring about.

Man Cannot Hit on the Right Time to Act

1 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build.

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5 A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; A time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6 A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; A time to be silent, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.
