zum Kirschblütenfest (2005) by Se-Lien Chuang
8-channel electroacoustic composition
Produced at electronic studio of TU Berlin 2005

Length: 10´ 30´´ (10 minutes 30 seconds)
Première 05.- 07. 05. 2005, Hidden Museum, Fraxern/Feldkirch, feast of cherry blossom

This piece is commissioned by Bernhard Kathan, Hidden Museum/Feldkirch.

The electroacoustic sounds come from a recording of the instrumental sounds created by the contemporary technique performing on grand piano with hairs of bows  (arco-piano), which gives a very sophisticated sound of the piano. The real instrumental sounds were tranformed through audio processing tools GRM-, Waves- and TDM plugins into defamiliarized electronic sounds. Also the synthetic sounds which appear in this piece were generated by the programming in SuperCollider.

The illustration of the electroacoustic sounds flickered across the listening space with a blossom like and light, floating character accompanies the imagination of the audience.

Das Fallen der Blüten. Wie innig.
Und Weh-en des Windes. Hautnah.
