Abstract
Unbearable Heaviness of Being for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, percussion, piano, and live electronics is a collection of impressions from nightmares I had when I was young. The work is divided into 6 movements. Each movement takes a specific look at the uneasy state of mind. Processing and mixing pre-recorded materials was done in the computer music studio at the University of Cincinnati. Various techniques using live sound processing were explored such as Pitch Shifting, FIR (simple finite impulse response filter in RTcmix), Octave Harmonizer, Delay/Feedback and MSHAKERS ('shaker' PhISEM and PhOLIES physical model in RTcmix).
