Sequitur VII - for alto saxophone and live-electronics
b'Recorded by Lars Mlekusch (alto sax) and Karlheinz Essl (live-electronics) at Studio kHz (18 Aug 2009).\\n\\nThe Sequitur cycle consists of 14 different compositions for various solo instruments and live-electronics. 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 composition 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 becomes blurred.\\n\\nThe 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\\nInfo: http://www.essl.at/works/sequitur/sequitur-7.html\\nInfo: http://www.essl.at/works/sequitur.html'
