Artist Statement:

Musical tones (+ electronic sound). Here the improvisational composition based on the indicated number of the bass notes is mixed with the argorhythmic composition and the DSP processing. With this operation here is represented a fusion of the improvisational elements stemmed from the past and the difference between the past and the present. That is realized with the new technology.

<basso continuo> The bass instruments (vc., cb., fg. ect.) and the harpsichord/organ play the role of the continuo. The keyboardist plays the bass with his left hand during the time when he conforms improvisationally the harmonic motion based on the number indicated to the bass. I realize that the player is a representative.
