(Re)acciones
Alexandra Gardner
About this work:
(Re)acciones is written for, and dedicated to Silvia Vidal and Ramon Humet. It is the seventh piece in a series of compositions for solo instrument and computer sound. My interest in combining acoustic instruments with computer-based sound lies in, as with any relationship between disparate forces, discovering how the two interact in different situations; from the common ground between them, to their irreconcilable differences. In this composition, the piano and electronic sounds enter into a dialogue that travels through a series of animated situations and moods ranging from happy coexistence to frenzied dabate. Musical statements from each instrument cause a reaction of some sort from the other, creating pathways to new sonic environments.
