Mario Davidovsky, another composer, orchestrates a detailed and playful dance between live clarinet and electronic sounds, exploring the physical extremes of the instrument.
Interpretation
The album's concept suggests that technology in music, like sheet music and instruments, is "humanized" by the essential interpretation required to bring it to life.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The composers on this album use technology and electronics to create a rich space for musical exploration, acknowledging the performer's role in the final music.
Compositional Technique
Ignacio Baca Lobera, a composer on this album, uses a dense palette of hundreds of pre-recorded clarinet fragments to create a "cloud" over which the live clarinet performs.
Compositional Technique
Suzanne Farrin and Ignacio Baca Lobera use musical feedback in their works; Farrin creates a harmonic cloud by feeding the clarinet sound into a piano and back to the performer.
Compositional Technique
Mario Diaz de Leon, one of the composers, uses dark, vintage analog synth sounds and pushes the clarinet into distortion to match the ferocious energy of the electronics.
Compositional Technique
Olly Wilson's piece "Echoes" uses pre-digital oscillators, resonators, and manipulated tape, demonstrating how technology in music can age gracefully.
