Intricate Machines
for String Quartet

Performance Instructions:
1. Intricate Machines (2016) is scored for two violins, viola, and cello. The program should read:
Intricate Machines (2016)
I. Heavy-Metal Viola
II. Bump in the Night
III. Churning Gears
IV. Constellations
V. Martian Jukebox Hoe-down
2. All movements are played “attacca,” so Mvt I, m. 63 should lead immediately, without pause, into
the downbeat of Mvt II, m.1, and so on for the other movements. Because Mvt IV ends quietly
on a sustained fermata, there may be a slight pause and regathering before beginning Mvt V.
3. The measures marked “empty bar” should be played strictly in tempo, without pause.
4. Mvt IV is notated graphically, with all players reading from score. At the beginning, the staves
are proportional (with m.1 lasting approximately 30 seconds, and m.2 approximately 15
seconds). In m. 3, a more regular tempo (approximately qu=66 bpm) begins. However, this
tempo is only included to keep the pacing more steady and regular; the music should continue to
be linear, and there should not be any sense of pulse. The dashed-lines (e.g. m.7) indicate that
players should line up vertically.
5. In Mvt V, mm. 1-4 should be played slightly freely, with each player using rubato. From m.5 to
the end, the music should be strictly in time, with a strong sense of pulse and groove.
6. For Violin II, at the end of Mvt V (mm. 128-142), the slurs merely indicate ideal phrasing for the
arpeggios; any comfortable bowing or slurring may be used as needed.
7. The work is approx. 14’ in duration.

Notation KEY:
Technique/Description Notation Explanation
Dotted-slur lines
Bartok-pizz
L.H. pizz
Staccatissimo
Col legno battuto
Dashed tie
Rhythm Marker
Stop Bow
Half-Pitch
Hammer-on
Pizz-gliss
Knock
Change bow as needed, but play legato as a
connected phrase.
Snap string against fingerboard with strong pizz.
Sustain arco, while l.h. plucks string.
Play very crisp and dry, with sharp attack.
Tap string with wood in percussive manner.
Change bow with as little break as possible.
Rhythms above staff indicate total beats in the bar.
(This is strictly for counting purposes.)
The “” symbol indicates to stop the bow on the
string. Do not lift bow off of string, or make
sudden movements that produce extraneous pitch;
simply stop moving bow and freeze.
Light finger pressure on note, producing a sound
that is half-pitch and half-timbre. (This should
not be a harmonic.)
Pizz first note, then strongly finger second note
producing slight pitch change on vibrating string.
(Do not rearticulate second note.)
Pizz first note, then sli de finger upwards on
vibrating string approximately to second note.
(Do not rearticulate second note.)
Knock body of instrument with knuckles to
produce a hollow, resonant, percussive sound.
vi.
Program Notes:
Intricate Machines was composed for the 2016 Saarbrücken Somermusik festival in Germany.
The festival theme was “travel to foreign lands” and this piece, in some sense, represents a larger
journey from the chaos of the outside world into a more peaceful sphere of inner reflection.
Each of the five movements is connected together and played without pause. Beginning with dense
and rhythmic outbursts, the first movement (“Heavy-Metal Viola”) imagines a musical offspring of
Bartok and Metallica somehow fused together by string quartet. The second movement (“Bump in the
Night”) focuses on juxtaposition: a lone, delicate, solo violin hums quietly, only to face jarring
interruptions from the ensemble underneath. Ending with an introspective chorale, the second
movement gives way to movement three (“Churning Gears”) in which fast and repetitive ostinatos create
a dense interlocking musical machine. The fourth movement (“Constellations”) begins with an eruption
of heavy, sustaining, chords that are played freely, out of time. These vibrating orbs of sound gradually
recede into distant and ethereal harmonics. Suggesting a celestial atmosphere, the solo cello gently sings
a muted melody, leaving us in a place of transformation relative to the earlier movements. Movement
five, a playful folk-dance, completes the total journey as an overt contrast to the tense opening
movements. Amidst its quirky and bizarre groove, elements of rock, funk, folk-fiddling, and pedal-tone
drone music, are assimilated into what composer Steven Mackey describes as “a vernacular music from
a culture that doesn’t really exist” – or as I phrase it here, a “Martian Jukebox Hoe-down.”
– Daniel Temkin
Battuto spiccato
Richochet
Battuto molto
Heavy Vibrato and
Bow Pressure
Bounce bow on string with battuto stroke to produce
a percussive tick.
Throw bow against string in one stroke, producing
printed rhythm of arpeggio.
Loudly and percussively tap strings with bow, keeping
time with a “ticking” groove. (Gently dampen
strings with l.h. to minimize extraneous noises.)
Technique/Description Notation Explanation

Abstract
Program Notes: Intricate Machines was composed for the 2016 Saarbrücken Somermusik festival in Germany. The festival theme was “travel to foreign lands” and this piece, in some sense, represents a larger journey from the chaos of the outside world into a more peaceful sphere of inner reflection. Each of the five movements is connected together and played without pause. Beginning with dense and rhythmic outbursts, the first movement (“Heavy-Metal Viola”) imagines a musical offspring of Bartok and Metallica somehow fused together by string quartet. The second movement (“Bump in the Night”) focuses on juxtaposition: a lone, delicate, solo violin hums quietly, only to face jarring interruptions from the ensemble underneath. Ending with an introspective chorale, the second movement gives way to movement three (“Churning Gears”) in which fast and repetitive ostinatos create a dense interlocking musical machine. The fourth movement (“Constellations”) begins with an eruption of heavy, sustaining, chords that are played freely, out of time. These vibrating orbs of sound gradually recede into distant and ethereal harmonics. Suggesting a celestial atmosphere, the solo cello gently sings a muted melody, leaving us in a place of transformation relative to the earlier movements. Movement five, a playful folk-dance, completes the total journey as an overt contrast to the tense opening movements. Amidst its quirky and bizarre groove, elements of rock, funk, folk-fiddling, and pedal-tone drone music, are assimilated into what composer Steven Mackey describes as “a vernacular music from a culture that doesn’t really exist”—or as I phrase it here, a “Martian Jukebox Hoe-down.”
