In E. L. Doctorow's novel Homer and Langley, based on Manhattan's notorious Fifth Avenue compulsively
hoarding Collyer brothers, Doctorow i!rst introduces his character Homer as he is losing his sight. Homer is keen to
notice the gradual fade out. Individual details are lost, then whole images are distorted, and i!nally he is completely
blind. In the darkness he can hear a sound made by an ice skater that was always present but never noticed: a soft
sound though full of intention, a deeper tone than you'd expect made by the skate blades, perhaps for having
sounded the resonant basso under the ice, scoot scut, scoot scut.
My deepest thanks to Lara Mitofsky Neuss and Justin Cummings for commissioning this three movement work.
