Midvinterblot. Divertimento for eight loudspeakers.
8.18", eight channels.
Midvinterblot (Midwinter sacrifice) is an algorithmic composition based on the Japanese collaborative poetry form renku ("linked verses"). Traditionally, renku is an often humourous poem written by a group of poets taking turns to write the verses, each verse being a response to the previous one, in accordance to a somewhat complicated set of rules.
In this piece, these ideas are explored in a musical context. Three SuperCollider poets borrow their voices from a recorded western transverse flute. The recorded sound material is processed using granulation, delays and filters, to a large extent controlled by pentatonic scales.
The piece was written using SuperCollider and scvim.
