Master exam concert

Last week I performed my master exam concert at the Department of Music and Theatre, University of Oslo. The program consisted of improvisations for piano and live electronics. Different MIDI, audio, and video processing techniques were used. Here I describe the different pieces.

Metrosus (installation)

I always find it sad that there is no (musical) sound when you arrive at a concert hall. this installation is based on a series of random functions that will in theory play “new” sound for years. People passing by interacts with the installation through an infrared “switch”.

    It is incredible how many exciting sounds one can get from a piano, and mallets are a nice change from playing on the keys. The computer helps with temporal adjustments and background sounds.
