Bleu 2, electronic music, transcription
Back to work after a week off in New Hampshire!
I find on my desk a very special transcription task... Indeed, for a new quartet for clarinet, violin, cello and piano, I devised a three-part composition process involving several interests of mine.
- Bleu 1: improvisation and clarinets. I recorded three miniatures on bass clarinet, basset-horn, and contrabass clarinet, improvised on each of the paintings "Les trois bleu" by Juan Miró. The recording took place in the Huseac studios on June 3rd and 4th.
- Bleu 2: Max/MSP/Jitter spectral sound processing and Apple Logic Pro editing. June 6th to July 6th, I used the recorded solos (Bleu 1) as a basic material, to process it with custom software programmed within Max/MSP/Jitter. I called the result Bleu 2, and you can listen to it on www.myspace.com/jfcharles.
- Bleu 3: transcription, imagination, composition. I use Bleu 2 as an outline for the piece for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. I go back to work!
