about

T.R. BEERY

T. R. Beery is an Appalachian-based composer with an interest in the intersection between traditional and experimental music. Inspired by the way stories and memories move through time, T. R. works to weave and deconstruct narratives in and out of stasis.

“the Fox, the Girl, and the Honey” is a triptych that explores the perception of reality, especially as it exists in storytelling/symbolism. I have always enjoyed deeply layered narratives, but I became curious about characters that are not only layered (vertically) but also segmented (linearly) into separate “characters”. In order to explore this idea musically, I used the same musical cell as the starting point for each movement. The work became much more of a character study (albeit, stretched across three “characters”). I was not interested in telling a story, so I tended to play with the form, eluding to classical rhetoric, while encapsulating sections with cyclic material or utilizing palindromes that could conceivably preserve the music indefinitely. Doing this was an attempt to engage the triptych, as it relates to visual art, by creating an image or character that exists outside of the temporal domain." - TRB
