Alarm, for flute and live electronics, puts demands on both the flute and electro-acoustic performer, who uses a MIDI pad to perform notated rhythmic phrases in addition to standard processing. The flute part alternates between high pitched, sparse pointillism leading to climactic long notes in the lower register. I also explore the dynamics between a cappella flute sections, and purely electroacoustic sections. The processing includes looping, granulation and doppler shift.
