More Info Anspruchsvolle “mutantrumpet” – Musik des Klangkünstlers und Minimalisten DAVID BEHRMAN, produziert von Phill Niblock. “ Unforeseen Events is the latest of many pieces David Behrman has made with computer software designed to interact in real time with a solo performer. The electronic timbres are intended to complement the sounds of Ben Neill¹s instrument--the admirable and humorous mutantrumpet, with its three separately-mutable and playable bells. Refractive Light consists of three small pieces based on an interweaving and overlapping of simple phrases. A musician strikes pitches which trigger responses in the form of sustained tones which die out after a few seconds, deflecting the pitches of other "on" tones, so that harmonic changes occur at the on-and-off edges of overlappping layers. The idea can give rise to a kind of fanning or breathing rhythm that adapts itself to different styles of playing, and to a harmonic vocabulary with dozens or scores of family members.” [label info] label: www.xirecords.org
