"Spindale '37" was written for the Duke New Music Ensemble and uses film from the H. Lee Waters Film Collection at the Duke University archives. I chose the portions of the video having to do with the factory for Yelton's Flour in Spindale, NC, opening with footage of the flour refining process from inside the building then turning to the procession of workers leaving the factory at the end of the day. The music I wrote is not meant to be closely synced with the video. Rather, it creates a singular mood for the film images. The music is created in two parts: a repeating groove in the keyboard, electric bass and 3 banjos and a slowly unfolding melody in the vibraphone, electric guitar, two violins and flute. At the beginning and end of the piece the ensemble uses percussion instruments to imitate the sounds of summer in rural North Carolina. Visit my website at www.davidkirklandgarner.com
