Sheet Music: ScoreConcentric Motion : Concerto for Piano, Voice and Gestural Controller / Mary Mainsbridge.by Mary Mainsbridge (2012)
|
Product details
As part of an exploration into the possibilities of
movement-generated-and controlled music, Mainsbridge composed a
suite of Gestural Études, in which she experimented with a range
of control gestures, sound synthesis and processing methods, and
an orchestral work: Concentric Motion: Concerto for Voice,
Piano and Gestural Controller. Each étude focused on a different form of gestural control
and audiovisual environment. The composition process, which
overlaps with interface design, examined methods for channelling
my movements as a performer into digital signal processing and
virtual instrument control parameters during electro-acoustic
performance.
The overarching aim behind the pieces was to develop
improvisational techniques integrating my expressive gestures.
The eight-minute piece incorporates both vocal and piano
augmentation and digital signal processing of the overall sound.
As a soloist, Mainsbridge alternately processed the input of the
acoustic piano, voice and orchestra with her arm movements. A
particle system, visualising audio input levels and joint
positions, was projected onto two screens positioned at either
end of the stage.
