Di Tre Re: Homage to Honegger (2005)     A collage of MIDI-manipulated prerecorded audio and electronically generated sounds, using Reason, Cubase, Metasynth and ReCycle NOTES:     The first movement Arthur Honegger's Symphony No. 5 "Di Tre Re" is a very moving work. When it came time to do a final project for Dr. Kathryn Alexander's music technology class in the fall of 2005, I chose to create a sound collage centered on material taken from the first movement of the work. I composed and recorded some original material for both piano and viola.  I ran this material, as well as excerpts from the symphony itself, through Metasynth effects ranging from granular synthesis and spectrum analysis to resonance and stereo echo. I added scream distortion to the viola and noise vocoding to the orchestra using Reason. I used ReCycle and Reason to create some background loops. Finally I used Cubase to trigger MIDI events and apply gain and panning adjustments.    LISTEN:    excerpt back to compositions
