Vocalscapes on Walt Whitman 

6-channel electroacoustic composition
Duration : 14'08

“Vocalscapes on Walt Whitman” is a 6-channel composition to be presented in a concert or as a sound installation. The piece explores both the idea of poetry as sound space and as "geography" of languages, voices, performances and humans. The sound material is a collection of recordings by fifteen talkers in several different countries reading excerpts from Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” in their native languages. The recordings were then sequenced in strophes, verses, and words, inspired by Whitman’s detailed catalogs of images, scenes, voices, humans, objects, and words.
The music material has been composed and spatialized automatically in real time by a “sound navigation map” within Max/Msp and the Spatialisateur both driven by a virtual score in Antescofo software and programming language. The navigation map defines the internal organization of large music sequences in terms of material, polyphony, duration, spatial position and movement. The generated multi-channel sequences have then been mixed as in a standard electroacoustic piece.
