Sequitur IVb (2008/2011) for viola and live-electronics
b'Recorded live at INTONAZIONE festival on 20 Sep 2019 at Eremo Santa Caterina in Rio nell\'Elba, performed by Rafa\\u0142 Zalech (viola & live-electronics)during a dance performance of Andrea Nagl. Mixed and produced by Karlheinz Essl.\\n\\n"Sequitur" is a series of compositions for various solo instruments and live-electronics which was started in 2008. Somehow it can be seen as a reference to Berio\\u2019s famous \\u201cSequenze\\u201d cycle of solo pieces which focus on specific playing techniques of the respective instrument.\\n\\nAll Sequitur compositions use a software written in MaxMSP which creates an electronic accompaniment from the instrument\\u2019s live input; the player is confronted with his own playing, and this creates a situation like moving in a house of mirrors where the identities become blurred. Each piece can be performed by the player alone who just has to press a key on the computer keyboard whenever this is indicated in the score. The software generates a complex canon on the fly, the temporal structure and density of which being controlled by random operations. This yields different results every time the piece is performed. Although following a precisely notated score, there is always a good portion of surprise for the musician which emphasizes his awareness and attentiveness.\\n\\nMore information: http://www.essl.at/works/sequitur.html'
