Sobre Cómo Pintar en el Tiempo [On How To Draw Over The Time]

For string quartet, three-dimensional ambisonics cube sound spatialization (IRCAM’s spat~), real-time processing, and Max/MSP 6 patch.
A string quartet is distributed in a semicircle on the stage and will play segments of music written on the score,. Each instrument will have its own microphone, connected to an audio interface and a computer with Max. The Max patch controls recording and playing of musical sections. Also, it contains the sound spatialization of live and recorded instruments, which is crucial for the piece’s development. An ambisonic three-dimensional sound system (eight speakers) must be arranged in a “cube” configuration, where the audience is located inside. Please refer to Technical Aspects below for details. A sound projectionist is recommended to monitor and adjust the loudspeakers volume, if necessary. The piece can be played with or without conductor.
