Canon (2005) for piano and MaxMSP/Jitter
|
As suggested by the title, canonic structures play an important formal role in this work. In the audio domain, canonic materials performed by the pianist are recorded in real-time by the computer and played back to create rich layers of canonic voices. As the density of these voices increase, their timbral transformation becomes more pronounced as they are eventually reduced to their basic resonant tone components. This musical structure is reinforced by various parallel visual canons which use the hand’s of the pianist as source material. This material is also visually transformed during the piece, eventually moving beyond the boundaries of recognition.
