Phylosophiae Naturalis for orchestra and live electronics.

I consider this work to be one of my most experimental compositions.

My research ranges from experiments with phonology and syntax in the context of the structure to new techniques of music writing based on visual interpretation of precise instructions and combinations of instrumental sounds with sound synthesis. (The latter is explored in more detail in e-RRATUM).

The performance is directed by a central conductor and various section leaders provide cues at significant points. A large projector screen also provides cues and information for the entire orchestra to follow.

It explores how orchestra players can react on a restricted visual stimuli created in real time by the live electronics team.

Isaac Newton's treatise of physics Phylosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica served as an inspiration for the musical aspects of this piece. Time and space relationships, gravity forces etc are treated as musical metaphors.

The harmonic framework of the piece was created using new technologies that I had not worked with until now.
