Program Note: In early 2012, the intelligence agency
of the United Kingdom developed a unique recruitment website with the address
“canyoucrackit.co.uk.” Visitors to the site were presented with a single image
of seemingly random numbers and letters. Those who could successfully crack the
code were then invited to apply for a job as an “ethical hacker.” As a
composition, Can You Crack It? explores the possibilities of hacking the
sounds of the trombone. The sound world created and explored in this musical
work is primarily manipulated prerecorded trombone sounds, as well as requiring
the performer to play “hacked” sounds via extended techniques.
