Creation Year:

Medium:

Live Trombone and MAX programs

Artist Statement:

OnNextCount uses a generative music system that directly relates the compositional gestures of the author playing Trombone to the frame of structured improvisation. The piece explores alternative ways to engage in electronic music performance and representation. The improvisatorial and generative elements used within this performance are in dialogue with human and machine autonomy, disruptive aesthetics and the ephemeral. OnNextCount is performed using Ableton Live software and uses an embedded Max for Live system to generate new musical material and signal-processed gestures.
