Transmutation was first performed by PinkNoise Ensemble in December 2022, with Roberta Michel on flute, Ashlée Miller on clarinet, and Aaron Wolff on cello.

I wrote Transmutation for my Advanced Composition course at Columbia University. I came to the course as an electronic musician with one year of music theory under my belt. For much of the semester, I created graphic scores without specific notes, and wrote the music on my Korg Minilogue synthesizer. For the first rehearsal, I played audio excerpts from my synthesizer for the musicians and presented them with a graphic score that included no specific notes. I knew that the score was representative of sound, but it took a long time before the connection between score and sound became direct, and I developed a hybrid notation system throughout the semester. This composition has been more than challenging, but ultimately it exists among the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am proud to present you with my first composition for ensemble: Transmutation.

PERFORMANCE NOTES
Transmutation's score (available upon request) is a work of science fiction. Think of it as an artefact from one future of many, an alien diagram for a technology that does not yet exist on earth. As the player, it is up to you to interpret how this fictional technology sounds. Performing Transmutation is an exercise in the spontaneous experience of collective improvisation and imagination. Transmutation refers to the alchemical process of changing one thing into another.

This score presents alternative temporalities, in that the timeline of the piece is not linear and will sound different every time it is played. This score is an experiment in form; in order to convey my ideas, I looked to formal structures from other fields such as electrical engineering and computer science. Transmutation is an imaginary circuit, a fantastical computer architecture diagram and neural network full of invented symbols. Look for electrical symbols such as resistors, signal flow pathways, inductors, and power sources, operational amplifiers, and much more. In Transmutation, sound and electricity are analogous. Along with electrically-inspired structures, this score includes rainforest sounds and magical symbols.

Welcome to Adagio Wonderland.

This episode is about profound emotion and delicate introspection, primarily featuring some of my favourite adagio movements from a variety of classical compositions. Each piece, with its slow, languorous pace, invites the listener into a world of reflection and quiet contemplation. The sonorous strings and the soft, yearning melodies speak of both melancholy and serenity. After listening and comparing many interpretations of each piece, these are the ones that stood out for me and interplay best with one another.

I am a 70 year old man in Minnesota.  I am still trying to get the rest of his music on here.  In the middle of doing so I ran into a formatting issue that hasn't been resolved yet.  A friend took care of that now that Songs of Heart II is uploaded.   I got an audio interface and matching cables.  I am just waiting for a 3.5 mm stereo plug with two phone jacks opposite to feed the audio interface.  The cable arrived and direct to recorder audio was accomplished.  Crusty audio  gone!       My YouTube.com is @RichardLOlson.  It has mostly acoustic videos on a Lyrica baby grand piano in the Atrium of North Memorial  Health  Hospital in Robbinsdale, MN where I volunteer twice weekly.  More if loved ones are there.

I've gotten the old MP3 files changed to WAV as of tonight.  Will work on getting audio on the newer stuff and to WAV status.  Then there's what to do with originals and their plays and likes?



I have worked on the replacement  files to keep things running smooth.

Now for all of the rest of details with SoundCloud on account settings...

I am set up for distribution as of this morning.

I cleared out about 20 pieces that were duplicates left over from MP3 to WAV file conversion leftovers.

I remember my first MIDI recording was done in Cardiff, Wales on a grand piano in a fancy restaurant near Cardiff Castle.  I have no idea what became of the file.  We stayed at the Angels Hotel opposite the charming Animal Wall of the castle.

I had the experience of virtually becoming a Minnesotan this weekend.  I have lived in Minnesota since the 1970's but have always been teased as an Iowa.  Nobody remembers anymore.  I do.

Now  I enter into the times of promotion if you will.  An acquintence from the past offered to promote my music.  Another got $10 for a bunch of pitches and another is being set up.

A commenter stated something about my melodies not being fully developed.  The music he commented was from the turn of the century and not contemporary.  Whatever inspir es my improvisation now is more melodic in nature.

With mixed advice I am trying a little promotion to see what happens with this roll of the die.

My link of links is:  fholson.cohousing.org/ARLO

Promotion seems to : the numbers, the likes anbe part trust and naive belief that it works.  So far the results are great the comments.  The comments are remarkably positive and encouraging.  The skeptic in me is slowly being dissuaded.
