It is solely important to play the given task, difficult  demanding or easy 
 average NICELY  IN STYLE.

Well, of course, Hans, every horn player knows that.  Just how ignorant do you 
think we all are?  Sheesh!

[Hornlist] horn with electronic instrument

2009-07-07 Thread Luke Zyla
I recently heard a fascinating piece for flute and computer on the new 
recording by the Pittsburgh Music Ensemble entitled Against the Emptiness  
Here is a description:

Lizamander was written for Elizabeth McNutt. It is the second in a series of 
works for solo instruments and Max/MSP. The computer captures material played 
by the solo instrument during the performance and uses that material (as well 
as some pre-recorded sounds) to generate a syncopated rhythmic accompaniment. 
The computer tracks the pitch of the flute throughout, and uses this 
information to follow a preset list of cues, which trigger a variety of 
real-time processing techniques, including time stretching, pitch shifting, and 
contrapuntal harmonization. 
Composer:Russell Pinkston 

Is anyone aware of a similar type of piece for horn?  I have heard plenty of 
pieces for horn and recorded electronic sounds (horn and tape for you old 
guys). I contacted the composer and he says that he has not written such a 
piece. This music seems to be more interactive which allows the performer to be 
more expressive by not having to keep up with a pre-recorded sound track.

CORdially,
Luke Zyla, 2nd horn
West Virginia Symphony Orchestra

This sounds somewhat like Randy Faust's Horn Call for horn and  
electronic media. The piece was written in the era of analog  
synthesizers and tape decks, and uses two recorders set a few feet  
apart, one recording, the other playing on the same tape to create a  
delay. The output of the second machine is fed through a synth with  
composer specified settings to speakers in the back of the hall. At  
least that's how it worked 33 years ago. Andy Pelletier recorded it  
recently (http://tinyurl.com/faust-horn-call), so it must be adaptable  
to modern electronics. It's a very effective piece.
