Short edit, stereo mix of 4 channel performance, April, 2018
“Pausa” is an A/V synthesis system that generates variations in the timbre of live flute and layers abstract forms, building a multi-channel installation work in live performance. Part of my series of pieces shaping subtle variations in the intensity of harmonics of the  flute, the generative sound composition pauses or holds flute sounds as a static image, using simple studio effects that make slight variations in the stereo image of the sound and an “overdrive” that awakens or enhances high partials, creating a fluid and shimmering sound texture that is further modified by control voltages and other data being received from the video instruments.
