Towards Musical Interaction
This paper documents the evolution of the project on musical interactivity between electric violin and live computer processing (using Max/MSP), carried out by composer Sam Hayden in collaboration with violinist Mieko Kanno. Hayden's ‘schismatics’ composed in 2007, involved a standard performance paradigm of a fixed notated part for the e-violin with sonically unfixed live computer processing. This first version was more reactive than interactive…
As if the composer is dead
The composer occupies a prominent position in Western classical music. In most cases the composer is dead: the music-making communities maintain their practices and identities without the composer. In this article I will examine first the characteristic features in the current discourse about music and the performer's creativity. Then I will discuss an example where the composer and performer collaborate with the performer approaching the product…
Prescriptive notation
Prescriptive notation specifies means of execution rather than resultant configurations of pitch and rhythm. A focus on performative techniques influences the way in which the composer communicates through the medium of writing. In general, prescriptive notation points to a shift in the function of notation from representation to mediation. Consequently, advantages and disadvantages of prescriptive notation are distinct from those of descriptive …
Thoughts on how to play in tune
This paper examines the range of intonation practices on the violin over the last two centuries. There are four types of expressive tuning: harmonic, melodic, corrective and colouristic. The development of musical language has created tension between the concepts of pitch and intonation, and necessitated a reassessment of the value of expressive tuning. The tension between pitch and intonation can be creatively exploited in performance, and examp…
