System No. 2 (2018) - Solo Snare Drum & Chinese Cymbal

Published by Kreating SounD
Duration: 8:00

Instrumentation

amplified snare drum, 22” Wuhan Chinese cymbal, two clock coils, bass bow, and triangle beater

Notes

System No. 2 (2018) This work continues the exploration of object automation and stochastic interaction playing out in a linear systematic framework that was begun with the composition, System No. 1 (2015) – see the album Xtensions (Kreating SounD 11). Reflexive interactivity between performer/objects (dialogue, Re; Eddie Prévost), objects/objects, and performer/performer (heurism, Re: Prévost) throughout the interpretation of the work is demanded. The amplification makes audible aspects of the snare drum’s acoustic filtering which are audible to the performer but not always acoustically available to the audience without amplification.
