Ken Butler
on Hybrid Stringed instruments. Recorded in Ken's A.I.R. studio in
Brooklyn, NY April 2002. I was amazed at Ken's instrument collection, both
by it's visual and sonic characteristics. Ken's playing opened up a new
"micro-universe" of sound exploration.

Commisioned by Midt-Norsk Solistensemble,
this is the composition that led to the development of the ImproSculpt
software. Lyrics by Marte Huke.
The technical quality of the live audio recording is not satisfactory, this
is entirely my fault. I include this piece here for documentation and demo
purposes, and thus it is free of charge.
When a better quality recordingis available,
it will be substituted.
The composition is split into three separate files
for ease of download.

An
electronic composition made from observation data of a brown bear (2001).
Commissioned by the International Brown Bear Researcher's Conference in
Steinkjer 2002, the piece was part of a performance by Bengt Carling, Njål
Ølnes and Marcus Edvardsen.
Written almost exclusively in Csound, the piece maps the movements of a
brown bear over a time span of four years into melodic and sonic textures.

Acoustic
computer controlled piece (1997). Made with the aid of my first
impro-processing software (called FollowMe). This piece is a
vibraphone/piano duo, where a computer interprets the vibraphone
improvisation, playing back the processed data onto a DiskClavier computer controlled
Grand Piano. Vibes played by Oeyvind Brandtsegg.

by the help of the FollowMe software, but using only electronic playback
sound this time and adding some programmed drum grooves. The main structure
is precomposed, the "contents" of each part is improvised. The
piece was performed under the dafx99 conference in Trondheim.

see Silent

the intro. More fragmented and ethereal. This might be bad planning of the
tension curve ...
