Violin Power
for violin and interactive media
(duration ca. 6:46)
program note:
Violin Power is composed for solo violin and interactive media. The accompaniment consists of three main components: 1) many layers of granular synthesis of the opening few measures of the violin solo; 2) nearly continuous doublings, distortions, and filtering of the solo line that mimic those used by many rock guitarists; 3) percussive outbursts and bass tones created from processing noise-based violin samples (tapping, bow scratching, etc.).
Violin Power has been recorded by Nicole Paglialonga and commercially released on the CD entitled Music from SEAMUS 25, which is available from numerous sources.
performed by Dawn Wohn at Electronic Music Midwest (EMM).
