Tag: electroacoustic

electroacoustic refers to works that feature both acoustic and electronic sound combined. the term typically refers to music featuring live performers over a fixed media soundtrack or a computer generated part played over a sound system. I also include in this definition works that call for amplification during live performance such as in the case of Williams Tells of Rights

  • Aerial coastline image in brown and pale orange with swirling water patterns and the title Sin Ninguna Imperfección.

    Sin Ninguna Imperfección

    An open instrumental composition and later eight-channel installation in which independently paced sounds unfold alongside a voice portrait of Argentine composer Ricardo Dal Farra.

  • Black-and-white photograph of Jan Williams leaning toward a tilted snare drum during a rehearsal, with microphones positioned around the instrument.

    Williams Tells of Rights

    A piece for voice and solo snare drum—without sticks—in which an exaggerated rolled rr causes the instrument’s snares to resonate as language pivots repeatedly around the sound of right.
