Pillars is very similar to Monomyth, differing in that it is performed over a concrete piece (download link above). Previous version of the concrete piece were proving to be to busy and convoluted to mesh well with the Kinect performance overlay. The solution was a thinner texture. Pillars employs important historical quotes relevant to the design of the piece.

​

Important to the emotion and overall concept of the piece were the lower frequencies. In the provided performance, a performer used a MIDI controller to create rhythmic disruptions in nearly inaudible subtones (though octaves were provided for recording purposes, as well as for making the piece accessible to all listeners). 

 

​A better performance would involve a form of gestural control over the subtones, rather than a MIDI controller.
