Directly inspired by Gerhard Richter’s various “Glasscheibe” (panes of glass). Whereas Richter presents his audience with new ways of looking at both the glass and the reality behind the glass, here the reality of a concrète found sound is filtered by the sounds created on the viola. A viola playing the sound of the A-train leaving 168th street station in Washington Heights.
