Soundscapes using digital and acoustic sound sources
Using Pro Tools and
Ableton Live Software I create music for multimedia, for improvising on
clarinet and saxophone, and as an element in my notated work. I
like the idea of a 'superscore' that contains sound and image samples,
notated elements, performer directions, a computer program...all
possibilities are open.
