Hi all,

I just would like to share three of my recent compositions using Pure Data.

Best,
Gilberto

@gsagostinho Thanks for the explanation. Normally I work with windows because my linux computer is a netbook so it really has strong limitations, but I'll check out about jack on windows.

Proportional notation, ok now I get it. Sometimes it can be difficult to find musicians willing to play music in contemporary languages, maybe because you have to use extended techniques not normally taughted at academia, but I think that that is exactly the interesting thing, that you have to be in search for new sounds with your instrument all the time. I hope you find the cellists soon enough.

@Daniel-Daowz Hi Daniel, on Windows you also should be able to route MIDI data. I remember that when I use to work with Windows and Max I used a program called LoopBe1 to route MIDI to a DAW, and it was a free program. Take care! G.

@gsagostinho Oh thank you. I'll check it out then!!

Great music! I like Arrow of Time especially, would love to hear it performed.

@Matt-Stalcup Hi Matt, thanks a lot, I am glad you liked my work! I also would love to hear it performed live and using 8 channels.

Take care!
Gilberto

8 channels? that would be awesome!!

@Daniel-Daowz Thanks! Yeah, that's the idea, I would like to have a single clock per channel, surrounding the audience. We do have such system at my university, but I still didn't have a chance to try this composition there yet.

Hi all,

I finally had a premire of Deviation and I'd like to share the recording here:

This is a recording of a live concert performed by members of the Ostravská banda (Andrej Gal, Juho Laitinen, Balazs Adorjan and Matthias Lorenz) at the Ostrava Days Festival 2015. Janáček Conservatory Hall (Ostrava, Czech Republic) on the 29.08.2015.

Cheers,
Gilberto

These are really great!

@waxmoon Thanks a lot!

Good work, quite reminiscent of Ligeti, isn't it?

@LucienR Thanks! As for Ligeti, I do immensely like his work, but I don't really see what you mean by these pieces being reminiscent of it. In which aspect and which piece do you talk about?

I talk about Deviation, I didn't think of a piece in particular but if you ask me I'd say the third movement of the second string quartet, come un meccanismo di precisione

@LucienR Well, maybe you could argue that there is a similar texture as to that movement of his Second String Quartet, but I mean, any group of atonal pizzicatos notes would pretty much fall in the same category. Technically speaking, there is very few if any Ligeti in this particular piece, in my view. If anything, one could compare the techniques I used on it with some of the works of Nancarrow, although I don't think he ever user any form of randomness when composing.
