Practice, an ACO-commissioned world premiere, Campion has teamed with ACO and the Center for New Music and Audio Technologies at the University of California, Berkeley to build a new computer-based keyboard instrument whose core sound is born from hybrids of traditional orchestral triangle tones. In the music, we hear "the metal of the industrial revolution give way to the hyper-metallic noisy bazaar of our contemporary moment." For Campion, "the fruits of experimentation are not to be discarded, they are to be formed into 'practice', even when that practice is uneven, imperfect, impractical and often improbable."
