"US19337" (aka "La Roda") is built upon the idea of the telephone game, a metaphore of the inconsistency of interpersonal communication. Each player has his own instrument which can add a subtle effect to an incoming message. All the instruments are connected and the audio signal flows from one to the other sequentially, resilting on a spinning, accumulatively processed audio loop. That gave the informal name for the pieces, “La Roda” (catalan words for "The Wheel”). | |||
The piece is managed by the conductor, who selects some raw audio material to start with, the loop speed and other aesthetic parameters. The players, from the Laptop Ochestra workshop, will have freely built their own instruments, so the overall behavior is really unpredictable and each performance is unique and unrepeatable. | The piece is managed by the conductor, who selects some raw audio material to start with, the loop speed and other aesthetic parameters.
