for Slowind (2012) for wind quintet and (live) electronics by Se-Lien Chuang and Andreas Weixler

score & electroacoustics
For slowind is a written score for the ensemble which performs together with realtime and time based media electronics - live processing and a multichannel audio track. This piece is emphasizing on the contemporary playing techniques of wind instruments. Within this work an impression of a bass recorder player is given being virtually attendant through the loudspeaker in spatial layers.

live electronics: SpectraSonic System

In addition to a live performance of the ensemble a realtime computer system creates a constant stream of ambience in the electroacoustic space based on the instrumental sounds - call and response in a modern sense.

In this piece a thrilling art work of contemporary composition and realtime computing unfold.

This work gives an impression of a bass recorder player being virtually attendant through the loudspeaker in spatial layers. The process of sound manipulation of instrument and reversed computed synthetics provokes a demand on the instrumental spectral integrated approach. Therefore the live amplification of instrumental sound through the loudspeaker should draw near an aesthetics of interaction and concurrence with the electroacoustic sound in principle. This piece is emphasizing on the contemporary playing techniques of wind instruments which offer the spectral feeding and morphing possibilities between the acoustic and the electroacoustic sounds. The realtime audio processing part acts as de rigueur extent of the co-oriented and balanced electroacoustic landscape, in which the amplified real and virtual instrumental sounds are embedded, and vice versa.
