This was a last minute set put together for Linux Sound Night, as
another performer dropped out. The first set of music is all from a
video game that was never made. The tunes were composed with
Nitrotracker on the Nintendo DS, a nice example of free software
opening up closed hardware and making it do something that was never
intended. The last two pieces are granular explorations of the same
Beach Boys song, one with lyrics written specifically for this
performance.
every day - all day Grain Sailing
Grant Centauri » Location: Listening Room
This piece is part of an exploration of
time using granular synthesis.
A moment of inspiration and emotion lead
to the creation of the original source,
and granular techniques were used to
revisit that moment and expand it, thus
exploring the many facets of its texture
and sonic palette. I've been fascinated
with the possibilities of exploring time
by changing the scale of perception.
Small moments of musical or sonic material
can be used as a palette for painting
a new experience composed of shifting
micro-sonic windows of time. There are
five sections to this piece which each
have different arrangements of sonic
grains coming from one source. Three of
them reflect closely the original source
and the other two are more focused on
the nature of microsounds.
The schedule is a major guideline. There is no guarantee events will take place at the announced timeslot.
