About this composition:

Electrocañas I
Carlos Cerana (B flat clarinet; programing)
Diego Losa (alto sax)
1995

Electrocañas I (in English, Electroreeds I) is the first result of a project exploring the interaction between reed instruments and digital media. Resources include sounds of live instruments, their digital processing, and control of electronic sounds by means of pitch-to-MIDI conversion and Max processing. The piece is generated from a melodic cell, which appears both in written parts and in improvised solos. A second section introduces electronics and transformation of sound.

Equipment used: Boss SE-50 digital sound processor, Yamaha TG-77 synthesiser, Richsound pitch-to-MIDI converter, Roland pedals (expressive and switch), and Macintosh Powerbook running Max.
