Abstract Details

2019, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Composition.
This document discusses compositional ideas and computer music techniques employed by the composer, resulting in the interactive electro-acoustic work for solo harpsichord La nuit bleue. The selection of sounds for the electronic part is of particular interest. The design of the performer’s patch in Max/MSP and the rendering of Markov chains in Max/MSP is also another important aspect of the composition discussed in this document. The use of samples from recordings of the harpsichord as the sound sources to the computer manipulation in electronics makes all sounds (harpsichord and electronics) related and creates the timbre image of the entire piece.
