about

Locust wind, rattle and hum (2002-2013) for guitar and electronics was written for the Swedish guitarist Stefan Östersjö. It belongs to a series of pieces I have written for solo performer and electronics. Like in the previous pieces of this series (Elpia II, STRINGendo, Flautando), 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 control a sampler, playing all sorts of sounds and noises previously recorded from the particular instrument. Pitches and velocity values can be transformed, notes can be delayed, a played note can trigger many other notes etc. Each of the processing parameters can either be exactly determined, or it can be defined as a random interval within which the processing will be carried out. The live performance keeps the piece fresh while the fact that processing is done on four separate layers enables the performer to trigger complex musical textures. Furthermore, „tape“ parts are played back in some sections of the piece.

The piece was developed over a long period of time in working sessions with Stefan Östersjö as well as compositional work on and programming of the electronic music in the piece. The working process involved sessions in which Stefan improvised with an without the midi-software under development. The score to the piece could be described as a transcription of the first recording we made of the piece, before the interactive live-version of the piece was yet finished.

DEUTSCH

Locust wind, rattle and hum (2002-2013) für Gitarre und Elektronik, geschrieben für den schwedischen Gitarristen Stefan Östersjö, wurde über einen langen Zeitraum in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Gitarristen entwickelt. Das Stück gehört zu einer Serie von Stücken für Solointerpreten und Elektronik. Wie in den vorangegangenen Stücken (Elpia II, STRINGendo, Flautando) wird das Spiel des Interpreten in MIDI-Daten transformiert, die dann auf vier unabhängigen Ebenen von einem von mir geschriebenen Computerprogramm verarbeitet werden und dann einen Sampler ansteuern, in dem allerlei Klangmaterialien gespeichert sind, die vorher von dem jeweiligen Instrument aufgenommen waren. Diese vielschichtige Bearbeitung der MIDI-Daten ermöglicht es dem Interpreten, durch sein Spiel komplexe Klangabläufe zu erzeugen. Darüberhinaus wurden an einigen Stellen des Stücks Zuspielparts verwendet.
