My new electroacoustic music Sailing Towards the Sea was selected to be presented in International Workshop for Computer Music and Audio Technology (WOCMAT) 2013.
This electroacoustic piece is intended to
explore the timbral possibilities of cymbals through the transformation with
digital signal processing, and to portray the soundscape “heard” internally on
an imagined sailing journey towards the sea. The raw materials are mainly from samples
of bowing the suspended cymbal. Methods of timbral transformation used in this
piece include granular synthesis, ring modulation, reverberation and delay. The
piece starts from cymbal harmonics produced through bowing and transformed by
granular synthesis and ring modulation in a light texture. It later accumulates
into a heavy texture simulating the soundscape of a stormy sea, and accelerates
its pulse towards the climax of the piece before fading away at the end.
