Description

It is a mixed piece for amplified classical guitar, electroacoustic support and real time transformation devices, composed in 1985-86. The title recalls the homonymous Roman of Marco Denevi. For the production of this piece at the Studio of the Technical University of Berlin, the author received the Berliner Künstlerprogramm grant from DAAD (Deutsches Akademisches Austauschdienst, the German Academic Exchange Service). The electroacoustic medium uses exclusively guitar sounds, recorded and transformed. Two real-time devices are used: a) a PUBLISON, a device that changes the pitch and timbre of the instrumental sound, and b) a multitrack delay developed by technicians from the Studio of the Technical University that allows very precise offsets. The piece has two parts: in the first, the instrument transformed by the devices is at a level with the electroacoustic support, configuring a narrow musical texture, complex, and sometimes very pocket noise. In the second part of the work, the electroacoustic support becomes the accompaniment of the soloist's game realized by the guitar. Here, the texture abandons its complexity to build a characteristic modal climate. The version of the CD has been interpreted and recorded by the composer himself. Technical assistance for the realization of electroacoustic support: Folkmar Hein.
