Description

Recording of José Miguel Fernández's Attract. This work was composed in 1999 as part of a FONDART project of the Ministry of Education of the Chilean government, on the use of mathematical models (chaotic and stochastic) for musical composition and interaction with the computer. For this work, the composer used two chaotic models (torus and logistic map) for the clarinetist's score and random models (Brownian, 1/f and white noise) for the spatialization of the sound. The samples were made with Csound, Audiosculpt, Peak and Protools (for some editing). A pitch-to-MIDI converter triggers MIDI events on a proteusFX with a random … continued below

Description

Recording of José Miguel Fernández's Attract. This work was composed in 1999 as part of a FONDART project of the Ministry of Education of the Chilean government, on the use of mathematical models (chaotic and stochastic) for musical composition and interaction with the computer. For this work, the composer used two chaotic models (torus and logistic map) for the clarinetist's score and random models (Brownian, 1/f and white noise) for the spatialization of the sound. The samples were made with Csound, Audiosculpt, Peak and Protools (for some editing). A pitch-to-MIDI converter triggers MIDI events on a proteusFX with a random beat. The computer keyboard triggers the samples as well as a Max sequence made with the torus model X n+1 = X n + Ksen Y n. The title for this composition is taken from the strange attractors which have recursive equations and fractals; it is also drawn from the attraction which produces some sounds in the unfolding of the work and in the interaction.
