The work uses a unique score type that enables a simultaneous playing of the score and the electronics in a synchronized way. The electronic part consists of four sine tones, each tuned slightly lower than a unique tuning for the double bass, and played through a transducer resting on the body of the bass. The electronics ‘sound’ the bass, through its body and vibration of the strings. The double bass, performed on its back with three bows, is activated in different ways, through bowing of the tail piece, a bow ‘rehaired’ with guitar strings and delicate ‘col legno’ bowing to create multiple layers beyond the expected range of the double bass. The work takes its departure from what is often called dynamic architecture, a term that is often used to describe designs in urban architecture that prevent human engagement such as loitering sleeping or play. The shapes used provide key structural and harmonic information in the work.<br><br><br>This piece uses the <a href="http://www.decibelnewmusic.com/decibel-scoreplayer.html" target="_blank">Decibel ScorePlayer</a> to read the score and generate the electronic part<a>.</a> Or you can play with the video of the score, with a line out for the audio, downloadable below.
