Stoa Poikile
Here is a recording of “Stoa Poikile,” my final project for the seminar in Electronic Music Perfromance, recorded at the class concert on May 8. The photo was taken from the Lisser Hall sound booth by Luke Selden, TA and sound engineer extraordinaire.
“Stoa Poikile” is composed for a band of radical democrats (or small ensemble of non-fixed pitch instruments) and 96 resonant bandpass filters. This performance features Brendan Aanes on violin, Danishta Rivero on cello, Cutis McKinney on contrabass, and me on electronics.
The instruments are fed through a bank of 96 resonant bandpass filters tuned to frequencies derived from just intonation tunings. Each tuning of the filter creates a unique sonic structure – a virtual space to be explored by the instrumentalists. The instrumentalists gradually learn their way around the interior of the structure – initially by playing slow glissandi and seeking out the resonant nodes of the tuning. When excited, the frequencies from the scale will be audible as tone swells, similar to an Aeolian Harp or sympathetic strings. When each instrumentalist excites a resonating frequency he or she likes, that tone should be held. When all instrumentalists are playing sustained tones and a resonant chord is sounding, the filter player changes the tuning and the process repeats.
I wrote a Max/MSP patch to provide the bank of tunable filters and a trigger for changing tunings:
You can’t tell from the concert photo, but the Jitter visuals projected across the performers consist of ripples flowing upward. The waves respond to the amplitude coming from the patch. Very simple, and borrowed in part from Andrew Benson:
