THE TURING TEST (2019)
For Two Guitars (Amplified) with Fixed Media
Duration ca. 7:30
PROGRAM NOTES
The Turing Test was composed for a guitar/electronics concert as part of the 21st Century Guitar Conference in Ottawa, ON, Canada. It is a playful, tongue-in-cheek exploration of the relationship between man and machine. At the center of the piece — heard in various guises in both the guitars and electronics — is a quotation of a familiar melody, which will be familiar to most listeners from the world of film.
Commissioned by the 21st Century Guitar Conference. Premiered by Steve Cowan and Adam Cicchillitti at Dominion-Chalmers United Church, Ottawa, ON (August 2019)
