Abstract(s)
We present Variações sobre Espaço #6, a mixed media work for saxophone and electronics that intersects music, digital technologies and architecture.
The creative impetus supporting this composition is grounded in the interchange of the following two concepts:
1) the phenomenological exploration
of the aural architecture (Blesse &
Salter 2007) particularly the reverberation as a sonic effect (Augoyard &
Torgue 2005) through music performance and 2) the real time sound
analysis of both the performance and
the reverberation (i.e. impulse
responses) intervallic content — which
ultimately leads to a generic control
over consonance/dissonance (C/D).
Their conceptual and morphological
nature can be understood as sonic
improvisations where the interaction
of sound producing bodies (i.e. the
saxophone) with the real (e.g. performance space) and the imaginary (i.e.
computer) acoustic response of a
space results in formal elements mirroring their physical surroundings.
