The three instrumental pieces on this album explore different ways players engage with the computer, all involving looping live materials and interacting improvisationally with digital effects.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Neil Rolnick, the composer, views the computer as a musical instrument that he can play, touch, and tweak to realize the sounds he hears.
Compositional Technique
A lot of the music on this album involves processing the sounds of other players in real time, with the goal of integrating computer control and processing directly into the instrumental part.
Recording & Production
All compositions on the album, except for 'WakeUp', are by Neil Rolnick, with 'WakeUp' being a collaboration between Neil Rolnick and Felice & Boudleaux Bryant.
Recording & Production
innova Recordings, the label for this album, is the label of the American Composers Forum and is supported by an endowment from the McKnight Foundation.
