Intorno alla traccia

I modified a Bb clarinet by 3D-printing a mount which holds two solenoids, pushing two of the side-keys. The piece features fingerings, speeds and polyrhythms which are impossible to a human performer. The motorized keys are programmed to interfere with the human action in this 10-minutes long pieces where circular breathing is prescribed throughout.

These motorized keys are controlled by a MIDI piano-roll via Max and Arduino. A scrolling video-score as well as automated live-electronics processes are also synced with the MIDI control.
