she’s buoyant is a 75-minute post-minimalist aleatoric composition for violin, synthesizers, percussion, piano, tape, and voice by Seattle composer María Dolores A. Matienzo. Informed by 20th-century avant-garde chamber music, the work focuses on the exploration of changes in memory of queer sensory experiences. The work leverages a graphic score, ritual practices, and video projections to guide its performers and audience in navigating between individual and shared experience.
