Raven Chacon "Tiguex", XVIII – Cantata
(composed with Marisa Demarco)

A sound system and eight singers are positioned underneath a vehicle overpass where that bridge intersects a river. Sounds of the traffic overhead are amplified. The singers start at least twenty feet from an agreed-upon marked center point, distant from one another, dispersed. (The singers could be on both banks of the river if desired). Each singer holds a tuning fork with a pitch belonging to the chord on the score map. To begin, the singers sing the pitch of their fork as a vocable tone while standing in place, synching with the speed of traffic. They begin to sing words from the following phrases, starting with only the outer words that align with their nearest cardinal direction.

North-South line:
A million years old, the years flow through these banks until there are none.

West-East line:
Still, now, hundreds of machines flow overhead as pylons tremble.[

The singers begin to move slowly toward the center. As they do, they fold in more words along the line they traverse. When they meet in the center, they find a unison drone pitch, maybe what’s dominant in the traffic, on “flow.” They drop the consonants and sing overlapping “pure-tones” of the same pitch. Their voices sink back into the flows.

Cantata will be performed under the I-40 freeway where the Rio Grande intersects. Sung by Antonia Montoya, Szu-han Ho, Marya Erinn Jones, Monica Demarco, Mauro Woody, Liz Rincon, Ana Alonso Minutti, and Marisa Demarco. Freeway amplification by Kenneth Cornell.

Raven Chacon "Tiguex", XIV – Glass Graveyard: A group of performers, each equipped with a long, amplified stick and amplified output speaker, position themselves atop large piles of broken glass. With the points of their sticks, each performer traces the shapes shown in the score map into the piles on which they are standing. Each performer should cycle though all the provided shapes, at any rate desired.
Performed by Alan Zimmerman, Larry Schulte, Nick Tauro, Jessica Mills, Carolina Muñoz, William Fowler Collins, Alexis Corbin, and Judith Gordon.

Raven Chacon "Tiguex", XI – Lowest Point
For dozens of heavy metal drummers + noise musician
Like the calm before a storm, a noise musician is slowly fading in the audio of a field recording of the desert during a heavy rain. On a given cue, a large gathering of drummers perform “blast beats” to replicate the sound of a bomb. As they become fatigued, each drummer slows down their individual tempo until none are playing.
Performed amongst the bomber planes at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History by LOTS of metal drummers with noise performer and bassists

Raven Chacon "Tiguex", VI – Rinconada For four Native musicians: A group of improvising musicians walk the path from trailhead to the western end of Rinconada Canyon, musically interpreting the rock symbols of the site. The musicians should walk at their own pace; they can stay with any petroglyph as long as they want but should remain sounding while with them. Only shapes and other geometric forms are to be played. Petroglyphs of animals, humans, or other beings are not to be musically translated other than possible depictions of snakes, worms, or millipedes.
Performed at Rinconada Canyon Petroglyph Park by Autumn Chacon, Ryan Dennison, Liz Rincon, and Viola Lebeau

Raven Chacon "Tiguex", VI – Downhill Procession: Any number of musicians are situated upon a hill. Each musician is assigned a pitch from the cluster chord in the score map (or any cluster chord to accommodate the number of musicians equally). The musicians begin the performance by gathering as a cluster of players, each playing their assigned pitch. Each musician then disperses on an individual path toward the agreed-upon destination at the foot the hill. Musicians are encouraged to join other players to create dyads of brief duration, then move on to create new harmonic configurations. The procession starts on UNM campus and descends downhill on various streets and alleyways to underneath the train overpass at MLK Blvd. It is performed by Rosie Hutchinson, Santiago Sanz, Alejandra Valencia Estrada, Yunuen Quezada Cruz, Carrie Martinek, Brandon Roux Flores Guerrero, Tim Spiotta, and Alejandro Alva.

Raven Chacon "Tiguex" , V - Seperated Canon: A quartet of string or wind musicians, separated by distance, are positioned around the perimeter of a park. The quartet should predetermine a slow tempo for the ensemble to follow. Each musician plays the music in the score map, repeating it at least 20 times. All musicians should treat the composition as a canon. A fifth player may join the ensemble, performing improvised solos near a center tree. Performed by at 4-H Park on Indian School near 12th st.
