(Note: Phil Burk and I are currently rewriting freeHorn. The previous version,
which has been used often in performance, is on this site. When the new
one is written, we'll post it here -- LP)
freeHorn is a live computer
work meant to be performed with live instruments. It's a generalization
of a set of my previous works, which I refer to as the "psaltery" set
(see below for some links). It's designed so that performers can make
their own versions of the piece.
The software is written by Phil Burk and myself.
(this is a java .jar file, which should
run on any platform)
download the appropriate
JSyn
plugin from Phil Burk's SoftSynth Page
(you'll need this to run freeHorn)
an in-progress user
manual (INCOMPLETE!!!!)
a few live performance recordings of
various versions of freeHorn
Previous pieces in the set:

for Psaltery
freeHorn Canon. Some notes
for a performance of the piece with 10 trumpets, fretless electric
guitar. Enfield, NH, 2006.
