Connie Beckley "Soundperformance"

1) Black notes White notes 2) Modulation 3) Conversion (with vibraphonist Alfred Peelen) 4) Showdown ‘In her music, Connie Beckley is concerned with different musical components such as time, space and movement. She does this in a way that could be described as ‘music for music’s sake’. While the subject may remain constant, she often changes her medium. The music can therefore be perceived through a medium such as theatre or dance and sometimes through a medium related to a painting. Sound is often important in her music, but her ways of expressing a musical idea are very varied so she does not regard sound as indispensable.’ (Invitation De Appel, February 1978.)
