Description

Cordes de Nuit was assembled in MIDI code and produced using a rack of DX/TX FM sound modules. The work is based on single voice and is structurally modelled after the sound of distinguished violinist Paul Kling, former concert-master of the Tokyo and St. Louis Orchestras. Global and micro changes in vibrato are controlled using mixes between Pythagorean and Equal-Tempered tunings. Over 200 spectral bandwidths are often sounded simultaneously. The work is dedicated to Iannis Xenakis whom I studied with in 1972.
