about

Piece No. 3 was written over the course of a semester for and as part of the ANU Laptop Ensemble in 2019. It was premiered in October that year by members of the ANU Laptop Ensemble (Kira Breithaupt, Weitong Huang, Abigail Thomas, Robert Jeffrey, Lynden Bassett) at Ainslie Art Centre.
This recording was completed on the 19th of June 2020 at the Lonsdale St Studio, for the Australasian Computer Music Conference.

Program Note:
Piece No. 3 explores communication, miscommunication, and panic. The texture is formed by a web of improvisatory communicative links between performers. Soft-synths are directed to respond to each other and to physical instruments, which in turn interact with each other. These links are built flawed however, as each part’s sonic content is only vaguely related to all the others’, the synthesiser controls are alien, and the nature of the interactions is combative. Recordings of a human voice underscore this, attempting to express frustration, disillusionment, and panic, but being able to only in fragments.
Hopefully, the specific rules of interaction in the score are not central to fruitfully listening to the piece, and the (mis)communications between parts are audible to some degree. Further, while these connections create form and texture, and hold much meaning for me, the surface, the impression of the work is intended to reflect the messaging in the underpinning structures.
