Elegy<\/b> 2006 by Hutchins. Recorder and computer. – A piece with unstable notes. They glissando from equilibrium to precarity as life slides into death. This is a remembrance of of my deceased mother and foremothers.<\/p>\n

Bach<\/b> can write his own program notes<\/p>\n

Bell Tolls<\/b> 2004 de Hutchins. Ordinateur. – Des triades des cloches fausses. Il y a un algorithme de spatialisation, donc toutes les notes semblent si elles avent des sources diff\u00e9rentes. Les tons sont de une table d’accords.<\/p>\n

Bell Tolls<\/b> 2004 by Hutchins. Computer. -Triads with a sound that resembles wind chimes. It uses a spatialization algorithm so that each \u201cchime\u201d sounds like it is coming from a different location. The pitch of each new set of chimes is based on the pitch of the chimes that precede it. The pitches come from a 21-limit tuning table.<\/p>\n

I think the program notes for elegy are too melodramatic. When I wrote the piece it was about unstable rhythms and pitch sliding, but the player is not so fond of instability and it became a lot more lyrical. This is why you collaborate, right? To come up with things you wouldn’t have done otherwise. But I don’t know what to say about the piece now aside from that I’m not a fan of the computer background drone that got added.
\nAnd multis, um, is in 9\/8 usually divided with two groups of three 8th notes followed by two dotted 8th notes, but this changes. And it’s got multiphonics. and is very rhythmic. And um. yeah. When I wrote it, I was thinking that wikipedia should really have an article up about wtf tactus means, cuz I was asked for tactus and it took me forever to figure out what that meant.
\n(why did i write my own sample software? Because I’m too cheap to buy any. This must change! For some applications, I can get exactly what I want by writing it, but in this case, the final output (“Simple Sample” I called the app) would have been so much better if I’d used commercial software. Easier to play, easier to control, less time chasing bugs. I’m not using any fancy algorithms, just some beat tracking, looping and straight-ahead play back. (Maybe a teeny bit of PitchShift.ar). Home brew should not equal creds unless it’s really worth home brewing. (A homebrewed clone of Miller Light “beer” is still piss – it’s a home brewed doppelbach that’s worth the effort.) Anyway, I learned that Renaissance musicians may not be fans of granularization.)
\nComments are, as always, welcome.
