Who Heard What And When

Thanks to Séverine Ballon for the two fantastic performances of this new piece – at CCRMA and at The Center For New Music in SF.

Cello, Diskclavier, live electronics controlling variable band-pass amplification and filtered feedback.

Thanks to the wonderful Jack Quartet  ( http://www.jackquartet.com ) for playing this piece at CCRMA (Stanford) and for all the concerts they gave on their West Coast tour.

This piece is for amplified string quartet (through Supercollider). The gain of the microphones is set extremely high and then limited extremely hard. The frequency of a filter (one for each instrument) is then moved up and down over the course of the piece. This processing produces various pops, rumbles, and occasional soft feedback. The result is then sent through 8 channels creating a strange low-fi texture, which hovers above/around the live sound. Please enjoy this stereo rendering.

 

Morning in the Manor

This is a stereo rendering of a piece for Ensemble and 8-channel Electronics.

Many thanks to Ensemble Dal Neinte for the performance:

Constance Volk, Flute

Andrew Nogal, Oboe

Ryan Muncy, Alto Sax

Amanda DeBoer Barlett Soprano

J. Austin Wulliman, Violin

Serafim Smigelskiy, Cello

Mark Buchner, Bass

The electronics are both live and fixed. The live element consist of a supercollider patch that generates photosensor controlled sine waves and a”reversed” gate that processes and distorts the voice and ensemble at various shifting time intervals.
