Jubilee

Barton McLean

About this work:

"Jubilee" is the latest (2010) musical work finished in my new MAX/MSP software called THE SEQUENCER PLAYPEN available at http://www.fairpoint.net/~rainfor1/McLean_MAXMSP/Main_page.html Premiered in Nov. 2010 at Hamilton College, this work is light-hearted, using generally tonal and accessible pulsed rhythmic material. Like many of my works, it is orchestral in concept, and electronic in timbre. This performance was done live, recorded in my home studio in Petersburg, NY. Some unique aspects of this software enable me to very quickly set up and change the timbral conditions, as well as different rhythmic and pitch orders within the basic three melodic tracks of 24 notes. Much of what is heard uses controlled random processes. Basically, it's just a fun piece to listen to.

Used Barton McLean's MAX/MSP software "Sequencer Playpen," a sophisticated MIDI sequencer using Korg Wavestation, Alesis QS6.2, TX 81z, ASR10 synthesizers.  It's a live performance score, and was premiered at Hamilton College by Barton McLean  in 2011.
