about
Velvet Scraps is taken from Tandem Duo's live-music score for Tempe Center for the Arts' production of the drama Some Velvet Morning by Neil LaBute. The music is improvised within strict structure on the main themes of the play's score: Velvet (female character), Fred (male character), and Truth. The play is a shocking drama of mounting tension and obsession, which is mirrored in the three movements of the piece. "Stroke" has a lush, continuous, velvety texture interwoven with dissonant tension.
