Score excerpt from 64x4x4 (2017) for string quartet

64x4x4 (2017) for string quartet continues an exploration of the musical possibilities of graphic, open-form scores generated in real time. Each member of the quartet is presented with a unique, shifting view of a three-dimensional grid of colored nodes which represent various natural harmonics. The nodes are connected by a series of thin lines the color of which denote the strings on which the harmonics are to be performed. The live performance of the quartet is accompanied by a computer generated reading of the score built from prerecorded string samples with the form of the work emerging as a result of these explorations of the work’s generative structure. ​

Score excerpt from point studies no. 2 (2013) + audio from performance by the Decibel Ensemble.

point studies no. 2 (2013) for any two pitched instruments and computer, is the second in a series of works in which a musical space is articulated by a series of points which represent certain musical parameters. In point studies no. 2, these points are figuratively indicated in a three-dimensional musical score generated in real-time by a MaxMSP/Jitter patch. In the score, which varies from performance to performance, pitches are represented by points of different color and are connected by line segments, indicating durations, of various lengths. Performers navigate their way through the score, which slowly transforms during the course of the work, and are accompanied by electronically generated sounds that are developed along similar principles to those through which the performers interpret the score.

Score excerpts (video only) of one part from 5x3x3 (in progress) for any three winds instruments and computer.

5x3x3 (in progress) is a work for any three wind instruments and computer. Composed for the ELISION ensemble, the work features a generative, 3D score that is responsive to timbral inflections in the performances of the three musicians. The excerpt at left shows an excerpt of the score of one part. Development of the work has been made possible through the kind support of the Australia Council for the Arts, and IRCAM. 

Screen capture of the generative score for modulor etudes (2017).

modulor etudes (2017) for five low piano strings and computer 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.
