Voltage Controlled Passacaglia, Pages 1 & 2, by Paul Hembree (NWEAMO)


YouTube via PHIntermedia
"Performed on the infamous CRuNCh lab 1972 Moog Modular synthesizer, with video projection of an attached oscilloscope. Executed from a score with parametric envelopes assigned to different performers. Rough synchronization is achieved with stop-watches, and four short sections in the piece (each about a minute long) allow for some controlled improvisation.

Paul Hembree, Chris Rippey, Steve Snowden, and Curtis Peel, performers.

Performed at the New West Electronic Arts and Music Organization Festival, Boulder Edition, 2007.

Also thanks to Brandon Vaccaro and Sean Brady for help with the MAX panning patch (the only digital aspect of the work... sadly we didn't have enough voltage controlled amplifiers, nor enough mixer channels on the Moog to produce 4 channel spatizalization)."

Update via Paul Hembree in the comments:
"I posted a page of the score on my blog if you are interested in seeing what the players are reading from. "Staves" on the score look similar to the output of an envelope generator, or to the automated controller/parameter lanes in Reason or ProTools." [LINK]
