Abstract:
Survival Kit is a live electroacoustic piece that explores the connection between textual and musical meanings. It is a revised take on choral music in the digital era. The author experiments with ways to interpret natural language in computer music and suggests a novel approach to performing text/sound compositions. The foundation of the piece is a poetic text that lists all the things that may come to mind amidst a futile preparation for a global disaster. The piece is performed by a single performer in the live coding manner. The author enters the text in his original computer music software, which triggers sections of pre-recorded music and corresponding processing algorithms. All vocals were performed by a collaborator vocalist (tenor) using a recording score for individual lines, and then edited and programmed into the software by the author.
