Luminoso
Alexandra Gardner
About this work:
Luminoso for guitar and electronic sounds was written for Enrique Malo Lop. As with many of my works for instrument and electronic sounds, the two parts are woven together into an aural landscape of shifting rhythms and textures based upon the sonic material of the acoustic instrument. The electronic part of Luminoso is comprised entirely of acoustic guitar sounds, some of which are easily identifiable, and others of which have been processed into completely different forms using a variety of software tools. The title refers to the quality of sunlight in Barcelona, which I found myself trying to capture in this music.
