Estudio Antimatérico

Oakland California, 1989

 

Electronico Music made with the X-Pander.

Antimatter Study, originally called Electronic Study, was realized in the CCM Electronic Music Center at Mills College in Oakland California in 1989, when I was studying an MFA degree in Electronic music and composition. This work was played live with the digital analog synthesizer Xpander, and later recorded in tape. In the piece, I use reverb filters and LFO oscilators that produce frequencies and stochastic rhythms. The form of this sort of structured improvisation inspired the material arrangements in my composition “Frost Clear Energy Saver” (1991) for refrigerator, tape and double bass, a seminal work in my development as an electroacoustic composer. Antimatter Study was played once in Mills College in 1990 and another time in Tokyo Japan in 2000, in a concert I shared with Atau Tanaka and Zbignew karkovsky. This is the first time this piece is released.
