This is a piece for live piano and pre-recorded electronics.  The electronic part was generated using some manipulated live piano sounds, some manipulated MIDI piano sounds, MetaSynth filtering and sampling and Csound (especially the excellent comb filter in the latter).  Although a lot of my PortRait pieces deal with the collision of humanity and mechanicity, this piece is especially informed by it.

Remix by Daniel Neumann, Sound Engineer of Alarm Will Sound, of Matt Marks performing "Spagliato" by Oren Ambarchi (arranged by Marcos Balter). Matt's performance is from May 9, 2018. This would be Matt's final concert, he passed away May 11. 

From Daniel:
"I spend the day yesterday listening to the horn track from our Wednesday concert and I was struck by Spagliato (Ital.: wrong, error, mistaken..). I couldn't stop listening to it and ended up making a remix, an attempt to extend his notes, sustaining them. I named it:: Spagliato, for Matt Marks (gated solo horn with artificial reverberation DNremix). No pressure to listen though, if it seems too early or wrong. Just wanted to share, in case someone finds it helpful as an anchor for their grief, which it provided for me."
