about

www.artifact.com/release.php?id=1001

The five pieces on this recording are all solo performances which were recorded live in one take without overdubbing. In each piece a different acoustic (or amplified acoustic) instrument is played through an electronic system that responds automatically to the sounds and actions of the performer. The electronic sounds result from live processing applied to the acoustic sounds, and the ways that they respond are controlled in part by information sampled from the performance. The pieces are interactions between the performer and the electronics, so the details of each perfromcance change while the structure, defined both by a musical score and an electronic response environment, remains the same. I want electronic sound that is alive to the nuances of human gesture and spontaneous musical thought. And I want it to enhance our experience of acoustics and of playing instruments, extending what we already do instead of trying to imitate, improve upon, or replace it.
