ANNOTATION
0/1 (2006) for symphony orchestra and laptop computer
Meeting of two systems.On one side there are sounding documents of computer
system- files. On the other side- the beauty of symphonic "machine"
is revealed. It is the invasion of non- musical facture, digital material
into music, but also it might be a meeting of two systems in music as
we perceive it. Digitl sounding files are given as they are in the primary
conditions, when opening any Windows system files, broadcasting this medium
live with "max/msp" software. Orchesta gives live and natural
sound for these WSF files, as well as melody, rhythm and harmony. A short
"0/1" formula is of huge concentration which comes into the
sound of the "machine" and allows the listeners to hear what's
inside the "machine".
...it is only wish
talk to "Canons"....
