Notes
Organogenisis was conceived as a duo collaboration for live bass clarinet and six-channel playback, with Thomas Aber providing the catalogue of sounds (derived from Bulgarian folk sources) for my time manipulations. Middle-side technique using two Neumann U87 microphones was employed to record the bass clarinet--its fundamentals and overtones, spatial resonance, breath and slapping tongue. Each sound event (varying from one note to a phrase) was copied and reversed using ProTools 4.0 to create "time pods" where the beginning and ending of a sound is heard simultaneously. Precisely in the middle of an event, the sound passes through itself in a moment of convergence, and then moves back toward another ending/beginning. Strings of timepods mirror, cracking open the sound, reflecting into larger structures in a process inspired by the work's title. On top of this static structure is heard another layer of live, partially improvised material based on a piece in kopanitsa rhythm (2+2+3+2+2), the Glavinisko Horo and also material based on a lilting pravo rhythm (3+3).
