Artikulationen E (Articulations E) for Alto Saxophone and Bass Clarinet with Live Electronics.
Have worked for several years with my own programs deigned as compostion aids, I began last year to deeper my research in the field of live electronics. This began with a 6 week residency in 2010 at the CNMAT in Berkeley Califarnia, which was made possible by a grant from the Goethe Institute. A further residency followed in 2011. During the residency I developed and built a controller for the saxophone and bass clarinet which can be controlled during playing and made to program the "instrument" with MaxMsp.
The player moves freely in the space. Attached to the instrument is a specially designed controller over which the player can control the live electronics. There are no pre-recorded sounds - all of the sound material is generated by the live saxophone and clarinet and projected through 8 loud speakers.
