The different improvisations helped me to build a vocabulary of different sounds that could be achieved inside the piano. This piece, in particular, makes use of several different kinds of mallet and centers around a central gestural motif. The motif is the first thing that we hear, with a very hard attack, and it travels through a handful of different soundscapes, losing its harsh attack throughout. The initial attack represents a&nbsp;rude&nbsp;gesture&nbsp;made by someone else and directed at the individual, or vice versa. These moments tend to stick in my mind and distort over time, softening sometimes into a kind of understanding, or hardening into blame. Frequently,&nbsp;rude&nbsp;gestures&nbsp;beget other&nbsp;rude&nbsp;gestures, they cause one another.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rude&nbsp;Gestures&nbsp;began as a series of inside-the-piano improvisations which I compiled in my first quarter at UC Davis.
