Description

"Anamorphées" was made entirely from a single instrument (saxophone) of five seconds, processed in computer delayed time. The basic instrumental sequence is presented, isolated before the play for the jury. The use of a reduced original material makes it possible to carry out a real "genetic" work of sound and musical development where each stage of treatment is an opening towards other possible ones. From mutations to successive mutations, the resulting sound objects are diversified, progressively or radically different from the basic model, becoming themselves the starting point of a new tree generation of transformations, then developed and organized in … continued below

Description

"Anamorphées" was made entirely from a single instrument (saxophone) of five seconds, processed in computer delayed time. The basic instrumental sequence is presented, isolated before the play for the jury.
The use of a reduced original material makes it possible to carry out a real "genetic" work of sound and musical development where each stage of treatment is an opening towards other possible ones. From mutations to successive mutations, the resulting sound objects are diversified, progressively or radically different from the basic model, becoming themselves the starting point of a new tree generation of transformations, then developed and organized in sequence by micro-operations. montages, tiling, brewing ... Some terminal sounds are separated from the basic sequence of a considerable number of transformations (sometimes more than thirty), something unrealizable without technical problems (support) in an analog studio. Just as impossible, carried out traditionally, are the operations brought by certain programs dealing with the temporal order allowing extremely complex micro-assemblies going below the only ones of temporal perception until the organization of whole sequences, making pass the anamorphosis of the detail to the composition.
The anamorphosis is also of musical order - to take a very conventional instrumental sequence: legatissimo and rapid chromatic twisting to moult it following very different "phases-states" deviating from the original model by its principles.
