Program Notes: |
What is a question? How are questions formulated? As the mind wrestles to grasp the concept of a subject, inevitably, questions begin to form. But not all questions are created equal. Some may be ill-conceived and make no sense, resulting in more confusion. Some well thought out questions, once asked, can be enlightening but raise yet further questions. Some are really not questions at all, but simply a reiteration of the subject in the inquirers own words in an attempt to understand. Sometimes frustration ensues, and the inquiry must be reapproached. From thought to vocalization this piece explores the musical texture of a question.
This piece was realized through the use of granular synthesis, spectral reshaping, and resampling of vocal samples and computerized instruments. All signal processing was done on a Apple PowerPC. |
