Peri Mauer's piece Pixeliance was composed in 2012 and revised in 2017. It is a bright, colorful piece in one movement, animated by vibrant spirit of dancelike gestures and textural elements moving forward with playful optimism. The inspiration for a piece usually comes to me in some sort of a visual, textural manifestation within a generative emotion. The combination of flute, harp, and marimba sparked my imagination for this composition by creating the unique timbral essence I sought to transform this particular vision into Pixeliance.
