about
for flute and live electronics.
Solo compositions for so-called "melody instruments" often seem unsatisfying to me because of their "one-dimensionality": a limited ability to develop complex musical textures. Stockhausen's "Solo" was one of the first attempts to overcome this deficiency with the help of electronics. "STRINGendo"and "Flautando" are based on a similar idea. The playing of the performer is transformed into MIDI data. The MIDI data is processed on four independent layers by a computer program I've written which then controls a sampler, playing all sorts of sounds and noises previously recorded from the particular instrument. The live performance keeps the piece fresh while the fact that processing is done on four separate layers enable the performer to trigger complex musical textures.
