Nyfiken på Gränsen (2004) for Stereo Tape

A rather "noise"-ish  tape piece made for choreographer  Robin Dingemans for his 2008 Place Prize nominated work VERY.
This was composed in Csound just using sinewaves and overloading reverb units... I did some impulse responses on the performance space to make sure the low frequencies rattled the seats and lighting rig properly... i wanted to write him a piano piece but no....

Interferences (2008) for Stereo Tape

Kyklos was my first  scrolling video score  - the music was created generatively using pure-data to create notation strings  for  Lilypond to interpret and convert to a 17m long score - which was then rendered into a scrolling video.

its too long as it is - keep meaning to get at  the master 6 track recording and make a shorter mix.

Here once again is Joe O'Farrell doing a fine job, this recording was made in my spc.org studio in Greenwich, London. Its recorded kinda "hot" and up close  as there wasn't any sound proofing and there were plenty of helicopters and sirens in the air as is usual in good auld London town.

 its all based on markov chains  (original computer music technique eh ;))- ugly workflow using puredata to manipulate strings via system calls to bash/sed/awk etc... l learned python after the experience and said goodbye to puredata for my composition work.  Also the render time for the video was too long - much better system now implemented in HTML5/CSS/JS as used in Parallaxis (2013)
