Performance

Austin-based composer Graham Reynolds returned to Marfa in 2014 to perform the second installment of The Marfa Triptych, three musical portraits of West Texas, commissioned by Ballroom Marfa. While the first and last pieces in the Triptych examine people and their place in this part of the world, The Desert focused on the natural world and the landscape here in the Chihuahuan Desert.

The Desert was a solo performance for layered piano, a production that used means both digital and site-specific to process the acoustic instrument’s sounds. The piece was performed outdoors at the Overlook at Mimms Ranch, where Reynolds scored the moon rising and the sun setting.
