RADIO CONCERT NO.1
Live performance for EMS Synthi 100 and computer
Live performance for EMS Synthi 100 and computer
|
This piece was made for the purpose of the official opening of the Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade, on March 2 2018. The performance took place in Electronic Studio and it was broadcast on national radio and TV simultaneously. The audience could follow this and the rest of the program, live in one of the Radio Belgrade's studios.
Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade was re-opened after over 25 years of stagnation. Opening and most of the programs of the studio at this point are concentrated around the restored synthesizer EMS Synthi 100, that has been brought back to life in September 2017 by the team of experts - Daniel Araya and Jari Suominen. |
My computer setup for this piece was based on the TouchOSC interface, Pure data patch and Ableton live. Improvisational dialogues between Synthi and computer were done through a dynamic interactive interface on my tablet and tweaking of the Synthi sounds live and playing with their parameters. I haven't used Synthi's sequencer (or a computer sequencer), but rather variety of key triggers, joysticks and envelope shaper trapezoids. Due to a wide frequency range, it's not advisable to listen to this recording through a laptop speaker or similar. This is my first use of the modular synthesizer in live performance and/ or composition.
