Canonic

Cheng, Lee

Abstract

Canonic is a collaborative electronic improvisation using graphic notation in a spatial setting. The musical content is in four-part canonic structure in which different parts improvise based on the same graphical materials starting at different time with various electric/digital instruments depending on the performance practice of the electronic music ensemble. Scrolling score is employed to allow for coordination of complex structures and the synchronization of canonic parts. The work explores the chemistry generated by the interactions between individualized musical interpretations and expressions of visual source material, offering a sound-centered, sonic-spatial experience to its audience.
