Program Note:

Water streams are like love, naturally uncontrollable

I do feel these words might be truth, at least to a certain extent, since water streams seems to be almost (if not absolutely)impossible to stop by natural means, until they dries out. In a similar way, love, as a feeling (which demands no action of the intellect,at all) is also, almost (if not absolutely) impossible to control.I had the main idea for this music in Venice, while carrying out studies on Luigi Nonos music. By that time I was passing through a

singular moment in my life and I got really hooked with Nonos philosophy and (of course) with the Island.During the course I was introduced to a text where Nono refers to his experiences with live electronics music and where heconfesses not being capable anymore of fixing the whole music on a score.I did a second reading of those words and found not just the first, and more obvious meaning, but also that his attitude was to let themusic be (to a certain extent, of course) and to try not to interfere with it.In a similar way, you cannot control love. You can just let it be, in order to find freedom, at least in your soul.

Performance Notes

General Indications:

- It is essential to understand that this piece, though it is composed of four different movements, was conceived as a wholeand this is to be taken into account when rehearsing it. The fact of dividing the piece in different movements was intended torender it easier for the performers to rehearse and perform the different sections as well as to clearly understand the rolesplayed by each performer within the music.

- As an overall comment I should suggest to the performers to always try to blend its sound source or musical gesture into its

partners.

Indications for the Saxophone Player:

- The general score (where both instruments appear, is written in sounding/real pitch), whilst the performance score (justsaxophone) is written in transposition sound.

- In those cases were the Live Electronics score features pitched notes, are just intended as merely reference to indicateevents sequence and superposition rather than detailed pitches.

Articulations:

- Notes without note-head (most common on appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas) are to be played as key noises.


5/17

- Quarter-tone notes appearing on the lower register might be played not as accurately as the ones appearing on the middleand higher registers and thus the alterations appear between brackets [i.e., or ].

- In general, those notes to be played with dynamics mfto sffffzare to intended to be played more accurate than those to beplayed from dynamics mpto ppppp, since masking processes are usually applied to quiet passages.

- Flutter-tongue (fl.) is indicated with a trill symbol on the stem of the notes.- Growlis indicated with a slashed Z over the stem plus the trill symbol on the stem. [i.e. ].- Either Flutter-tongueand Growlappear several times written in time-evolution passages, where a sustained sound smoothly

and gradually evolves (changes) its articulation, namely, from fl.to gr.or viceversa. On such cases, an arrow (with directionleft to right) will indicates such temporal evolution. In an event where several articulation changes happens but no arrowwould be written, changes must attach to the indicated rhythm.

- Airy sounds are written with the note-head as a diamond. [i.e. ].

- Those sounds which are to be played with either traditional sound and air are written with traditional note-heads with atextual indication (souffle) on top of the beam. Normally it would have a plus (+) symbol which means more air than note. Ifno symbol is present, half sound and half air should be played. In addition to those indications, a crescendo/diminuendohairpin would be preset in order to specify the dynamic evolution (as it is for normal notes) of the air noise.

- If the contraction ord.appears over a note beam after a souffleindication, sound is to be produced in the traditional way.- Slap-tongue is notated as an inverted triangle at the end of the beam. [i.e. ].

- There are some cases where very short articulations are written over a relatively not-so-short rhythmic figure and perhapsusing articulations like key noises or slap-tongue. This means that the fingering should remain still tough no sound is beingproduced with the mouth, in order to let the resonance still sounds. [i.e. or ].

Dynamics:

- The dynamics written as apap(as pianoas possible) and afap(as forteas possible) are relative to the register (tessitura)and possibilities either of the instrument and the performer and might not have direct relationship with other dynamicindications. Otherwise they appear specifically indicated (i.e., ppppp, fffff, sffffz, etc.)


6/17

Indications for the Live Electronics Player:

- Special care should be taken by the Live Electronics performer in regard to the sound levels either from the direct source(saxophone) and the sound processes (DSP). It is advisable to set the overall loudness level of the DSP from the sub-

patches 2, 3 & 4 to the same level of the sub-patch 1, which is the Electronic Prelude, in order to make this the maximumloudness level. Although, this may cause saxophone to need slightly amplification.

- In the event of saxophone amplification, it should be intended to be as minimum as possible in order perceive the acousticsource unmodified and also it is required to achieve, through amplification, the best possible acoustical balance between thesaxophone and the sound processes.

- Regarding the program for the performance, a full Max/MSP patch (programmed on version 4.5.2) would be available underrequest. If Max/MSP would not be available on the computer employed for the performance a compiled version including theMax/MSP Runtime might be created in order to provide the performer with a standalone version of the program.

- The program provides a dedicated Reverberation section (with a personal algorithm) for the 3rdmovement, which should dothe job. However, a hardware reverb might be employed and section 3 inside the program omitted. In such a case, specialcare should be taken by the Live Electronics performer as well as the Sound Technician with transitions from 2 ndto 3rdandfrom 3rdto 4thmovements.

Indications for the Sound Technician (Ton Meister):

- The Tape part as well as the Live Electronics part were conceived in two-channels stereo format. This will lead to a verystandard speaker configuration which should work in most concert situations. If a multi-channel setting would be available, anormal distribution of the two channel sound output should be done, preserving the Left-Right disposition.

- However, since the aim of this piece is to achieve as much interaction between the performers (Sax player, computerperformer and Sound Technician) as possible, during the 1stand the 4thmovements, sound diffusion to the Live Electronics

part (in the Prelude) and the Tape part (in the 4th

movement) should be performed by the sound technician (Ton meister), inorder not just to create the music in a collaborative way but to make as much use of the concert space as possible.


7/17

Last comments:

- There should be comfortable visual contact between the Saxophone player and the Live Electronics performer, as well asbetween the Sound Technician and the Saxophone player.

- Every performer should have its own score and carefully follow the music in order to pay special attention to transitions torender them as smooth as possible.
