Variations on Incontri di Fasce Sonore

Incontri di fasce sonore is one of Franco Evangelisti masterpieces.
Recorded in 1957 at WDR, Cologne, it is one of the classic scores of the integral serial music era.

This is a preliminary study to investigate the possibility of playing 1950s serial music with the Buchla synthesizer and Max/MSP.

I've programmed 315 mixtures of 7 sinusoidal tones in Max/MSP following the score's instructions,
then I've played them with the Buchla, creating a variation piece.

• Sound generation: MAX/MSP

• Music interface, amplification, spatialization, ring modulation, frequency shifting: Buchla 200e

• Reverb: Jomox T-Resonator

• Reverse sounds: EHX2880

So wonderful!

It's amazing to watch you work that touch plate. Are you somehow selecting among the 315 mixtures, or is Max set up to advance through them automatically?
