Interazioni cicliche alle differenze sensibili
for String quartet and Electronics

This compositional project includes two separate, but overlapping components: a work for string quartet and interactive processing computer, and a work for taped string instrument sounds and interactive processing computer (a kind of "sound installation" hosting the string quartet performance). In this CD, only the first component is documented. It is in 5 movements (5 "cyclic difference-sensitive interactions"). The composition is based on an intricate network of short- and long-term interactions. Emergent sound gestures are not easy to predict, and are left to the performance momentum. They are not only dependent on the string players action, but also on the resonances of the room or hall hosting the performance. The room response to the quartet sounds are detected, analysed and put into use live in real time. This CD contains a partial recording of the 11/11/1998 live performance.
