Outside-time sketch

In Outside-time sketch, my intention is to match live instruments with electronics not in the direction of creating homogeneous textural chunks, but rather of creating a coexistence of these two units in an organically effective form. For this reason, the two cellos are always prominent throughout the work. Their sound is captured by a Max4Live device developed by me which randomizes the parameters of a Delay plugin during the performance (real-time) yielding the electronic sound thereby.

The rhythmic and tone material of the work consists of quasi improvised outside-time structures: Iannis Xenakis coined this term, to characterize generic material, not formed into an organized or systematized pattern. There is no fixed media part; everything is generated with the help of the device led by the passion of the two cellists.
