about

(1990)
(Tracks 2, 3, 5)
This Piece is an improvisation between two players, one playing any amplified acoustic instrument, and the other playing a MIDI keyboard that controls an electronic resonator which repeats and circulates the sound of the instrument. A computer program interprets the MIDI keystrokes to control all the available parameters on the resonator, including the delay length, the number and loudness of echoes, filter settings, reverb densities, etc. I have performed this piece with many different instruments including hand-percussion, cello, double-bass, trombone, bassoon, trumpet, shakuhachi, and Tom Nunn's instruments. The electric resonator here is a Lexicon LXP1, and during the course of the piece all six of its reverb algorithms are heard, forming a consistent modulating structure for the piece. I am interested in the ability of electronic instruments to create a different kind of ensemble relationship between performers, in which all are symbiotically producing a single sound. There is a crossing of instrumental territories here, in which both players are together responsible for the whole, and the whole is inseparable into parts.
