Figure in Movement (2005)
by Shintaro Imai
Shintaro Imai on "Figure in Movement":
This electroacoustic piece was developed for electroacoustic system, and was realized at Electronic Music Studio TU Berlin in 2005. The sound materials were processed and organized via a real-time algorithmic sound-generating system based on various granular sampling technique, under the composer’s musical idiom “Sound Creature”. These materials were originally made from sampled flute sound which was performed by flutist Sabine Vogel. The compositional algorithm and sound synthesis programs were all written in Max/MSP. For editing and mastering, ProTools was used as well. The concept of the piece is to draw an imaginary living sound matter and surrounding environment.
