Welcome to an epic fusion of Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra and Musique Concrète. This Space Odyssey-inspired performance unfolds in two movements, signaling the dawn of computer music. The first movement dances with invisible orchestral instruments, synthesizing Strauss's iconic sunrise fanfare. The second morphs into a sound collage of space, an interactive composition in Musique Concrète utilizing recorded sound with digital effects. Sit back as we transform Strauss's masterpiece into a unique auditory journey, your SLOrker's guide to computer music.
Performance at Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University, for A SLOrker's Guide to Computer Music (2023).
