OCEAN was composed
in 2005, in New York City, with sounds recorded in deep ocean
waters.
The NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, of the United States, kindly
offered the sound material.
The hydrophone locations are the Eastern Equatorial Pacific, the
Northern North Atlantic, the Central North Atlantic, the Marianas
in the Pacific Ocean and in the Gulf of Alaska.
The performance,
at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, included the projection
of digital images created after deep ocean colours and shapes.
The musical score was created inside virtual environments.
Ocean's virtual musical score
Ocean is a
piece dedicated to René Berger, a marvelous friend, an
illuminated soul, who I profoundly admire and love. The first
performance is in April 29, 2005, as part of the celebrations
to him. The sound
material was kindly offered by NOAA, and specially by VENTS Project
at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. My sincere thanks
to Dr. Robert Dziak.
