"Contemporary Performance Art for Meta-Bass"
This piece is a re-performance of a piece from my Bachelor of Music senior recital at Ithaca College in 2016. The source material is my recital performance of "Joke," the first movement of a piece called Sei Studi by Stefano Scodanibbio. In this "meta-performance," I transform a contemporary composition employing extended techniques on solo double bass into contemporary performance art using ChucK and a GameTrak controller. Rather playing the score itself on an acoustic instrument, I utilize the GameTrak to mimic of the motions of bass performance while using granular synthesis techniques to "play" the previously-recorded performance.
