MODULOR ETUDES (2017) for Five low piano strings and computer

Picture
Screen capture from the score of modulor etudes (2017)
modulor etudes (2017) takes its name from Le Corbusier's study on spatial partitioning informed by the human figure. The score for the work is generated in real-time and presents a series of partitioned squares which denote various pitches, harmonics and durations. The work builds on previous work of mine exploring the relationship between primitive Euclidean geometric units (points, lines, and planes) and corresponding musical primitives such as pitch and duration. Like previous work, modulor etudes is also founded on a non-linear temporal structure where, while the score prescribes certain events which must be performed, the pianist is afforded considerable flexibility in determining their sequence. A computer-generated interpretation of the score built from pre-recorded piano samples accompanies the live performance.
