      I like the relief of tension part 4 brings. Has this ever been performed live?

    2. AvantGuy on July 29, 2009 18:43

      @sirlig: Glad you found that, @sirlig. It's been performed twice live. Dorothy Martirano (vln) and I (computer) premièred it, then a year later Katherine Hughes and I did it again. That was the full 12-minute version (gulp)

      very nice moment after the 'drop'

    2. Soy Devon on July 21, 2009 01:04

      @SCHMUCKFENSTER: I 2nd that!

      Like that second part a LOT; funny that s.o. called it 'euro-style jazz' - to me it sounds ever so 'big american metropole' ! :-)

    2. AvantGuy on July 22, 2009 17:00

      @SCHMUCKFENSTER: What or who is "s.o." ? As for metropole: We were knocking out this tune in Jack's studio at a sparsely populated edge of Boulder Colorado :)

    3. SCHMUCKFENSTER on July 22, 2009 23:51

      @AvantGuy: well, might be a bit limited in experience (metropoles in general) but it has definitively a jazzy non-banned smoky new york sound, no doubts

      @SCHMUCKFENSTER: "non-banned" - - Yes, we felt no censorship pressures when performing this :)

      Nothing for a 'quickie' after work here. But one to return to sure there is much to discover

      Love the dancing interaction of the voice & instruments...

    2. AvantGuy on July 22, 2009 17:03

      @Soy Devon: Carol is a phenomenal listener - big ears and a fantastic voice.

      Definitely reminds me of Expressionism, particularly Schoenberg.

    2. AvantGuy on December 16, 2008 02:28

      @Hellequin: Gotcha - Yes, Jeremy was improvising in what often sounds pitch-serial, nearly 12-tone row-like.

avantgarde electronic electroacoustic classical experimental

Excerpts of a very early piece - perpetually unfinished, but a fave nevertheless. The great Katherine Hughes, violin. Still using rack synths back then. String "section" sounds are processed from Katherine's recording. Most other sounds are Proteus-1. The idea was to divide the pitch set into its two hexachords, and give the soloist one of them and the "computer" the other one. They'd have their own pitch domains and fight over them. Toward the end, the soloist wins, as she gets to play all 12 pitches.
