SOS Passage au lycée – Deutsch

Der Fluch des Ötzi

This is an unedited, unprocessed live recording, direct to Zoom H4N off the mixer. From a performance at 119 Gallery (Lowell, MA), November 17, 2012.

I used a large (14") Tibetan bowl with two SM57 mics. The signal was processed by an effects chain consisting of (in order) Moogerfooger Ring Modulator, Moogerfooger Cluster Flux, Deluxe Memory Man and Ekdahl Moisturizer. I also used the ring modulator's carrier oscillator as a drone, through a 4ms/Repeater Noise Swash and a Moogerfooger Freq Box -- this was a separate signal, but it was also routed through the effects chain.

I struck the bowl with a typical felt-covered wooden beater and bowed it with a violin bow (these are the high-pitched notes heard periodically). In a couple of spots, I used an EBow resting directly on the exposed springs of the Moisturizer. Feedback was employed at several levels throughout.

Suspended (at 119 Gallery, 2012-Nov-17)

I composed this piece for a competition that required short demo pieces that demonstrate the microtonal capabilities of the software Ethno 2 by Motu.

This demo borrows chord types from La Monte Young's The Welltuned Piano, and arranges them for Indonesian instruments. The tuning is a superset of the tones in La Monte Young's piece. I borrowed some of his chords, but handle them in a different way. I quasi added the ratio 5 – which is missing in the tuning system – but only to the rhythmic dimension, by having a 5/4 time signature in the metric sections.
