Areas 1: Voices…a dead person’s things (2016) – Solo for 2 Snare Drums & Controlled Feedback

Published by Kreating SounD
Duration: 10:04

Instrumentation

2 snare drums, 3 HoneyTone mini-guitar amps w/microphones

Notes

Areas 1: Voices…a dead person’s things (2016) is scored for two snare drums and three miniature, battery-powered guitar amplifiers with microphones. The battery power directly affects the feedback response of the amplifiers and thus different battery powers are required for each amp and the battery power changes during the performance, affecting the ability to execute the piece as intended, because of this an alternate ending is composed so that two outcomes are possible based on the battery power at the end of the work. FYI, the “noise” heard most prominently at the beginning and end of each take is created by the mini-amps and is part of the composition; it is not “noise” (i.e. unintended sound) introduced during the recording process. Also, throughout the work the sounds of the amps and microphones being manipulated on the snare drum heads and min-amp switches being turned on/off is unavoidable and considered part of the composition. Two takes are included to demonstrate the compositional integrity of the work alongside the aleatoric/unpredictable nature of the feedback and batteries.
