Monette: "The Electric Forest" for Piano and Computer (2021)

#livemusic #newmusic #contemporaryart
Julien Monette, piano
The Electric Forest is a five-movement suite for piano and fixed media. The piece uses samples made in VCV Rack and played back in a Max/MSP patch triggered by a midi controller next to the piano. Each movement of the suite explores a different sonic environment in a post-apocalyptic world where humans and their activities have not existed for centuries. All that is left from their exploits is ruins, occasional relics, and irreparable damage to the environment. The piece conveys this absence of naturalness by simulating natural sounds using modular synthesizers in a convincing and evocative way. This piece was written for the 2021 CNU Composer’s Forum concert and premiered by the composer.
