A simple gesture that leaps between three octaves alternates with a low timbre trill, both reiterated many times in various permutations. Roughly half way through the material flips on itself. The timbre trills are heard in the highest tessitura while the mobile material that was leaping by several octaves is constrained to the lowest register. The last third of the piece introduces low and fast flutter tonguing juxtaposed with similar material from the beginning. The computer part captures the flute sounds on very specific pitches spatialising the sound of the flute between four speakers and processing the sound with a chorus effects, reverberation, flange and several harmonizers. Increasingly the amount of captured pitches, and the range of effects, is expanded to reflect similar ideas in notated in the flute part. |
