The “Tondichtung” and “Tone Poem” series are music stands made in tandem with the “Inkling” scores. “Tondichtung” refers to an orchestral composition that seeks to express extra-musical ideas in music – usually in a single continuous movement that evokes the content of a poem, short story, painting, or other non-musical source. “Tone Poem” is the English translation. In making the “Inkling” scores, presentation became a challenge to rethink the visual and sculptural function of stands as integral to the interpretation of sound. Each “Tondichtung” and “Tone Poem” is crafted from trees downed by storm or disease and come from woods in the Catskill Mountains.
