One-Way Transmission 單向傳輸

Musical work for smartphones, acoustic instruments, and electronics

Project Description

One-way transmission is a generative music composition with graphical expressions of various scenes. Each part is like a single journey with a preset path. Performers are free to respond to the evolving soundscape’s unpredictable effects until the route ends. The collaboration between instruments and electronics creates a symbiotic relationship with the system. The preprogrammed system creates physical modeling effects corresponding to the receiving phrases’ dynamic and timbre. It functions as a time-based improvisation without turning back.

作品介紹

《單向傳輸》是以圖像化表達的生成式音樂組曲。每一章節都像是場景各異的單向旅程。在預設好的路徑中,每次都會產生相似卻不完全相同的風景。演奏者在抵達終點之前,可自行選擇要如何回應當下的流動音景,使這場電聲與原音樂器的重奏演出,成為音樂家與系統「協作」的過程。預先設計的聲音合成與互動機制,會依照演奏者當下的動態與音色,即時生成相對應的聲音回饋。經由物理模擬不同材質的細微碰撞,創造出仿若樂手能夠與之對話,卻又無法完全預測的聲響內容。其機制就像是一場不斷重複卻無法回頭的即興表演。

This piece was performed at the 2019 Yunshuyachi Ensemble ‘Song of Wordlessness’ concert.
