For Sound Scene Fest: Emerge 2021, DC musicians Sarah Marie Hughes, Nik Francis, Nate Scheible, Corey Thuro, and Luke Stewart were given a score that transposed disease spots on leaves into notation. Drawing from the idea of emergence ( the way small actions create complex systems) the performance engaged in non-hierarchical creative processes where the role of the composer was dispersed to every musician. Decomposition becoming composition.

A decaying leaf offers the opportunity for continual iteration, composition, and interpretation. de | composition  is an ongoing project with the aim to tune a curious listener to the unfurling world of possibility in the earth’s multifaceted ability to communicate.
