Four Voice Canon #10 (“Four
Boys Mannin’”)
Date: 1997.
Place: Dartmouth.
Sounds: One minute Chris Mann
“collaboration” soundfile.
Elements: No permutation list used.
Comments: Part of the Frog Peak Collaboriations Project CD, a project I curated in which
60+ composers made pieces out of a one-minute soundfile of Chris Mann reading a
text. My pieces on this CD were quickly produced, simple, conceptual works
using software and ideas I had developed for other projects. #10 is the simplest, and uses Soundhack
in a similar way to #9, except that
here the seven versions of the one minute soundfile are simply varied (6:…:12)
and overlayed with an exponential crescendo on each, starting at nothing and
going to maximum loudness.
Four Boys Mannin’ #10 is on the Frog Peak Collaborations CD and on the
Cold Blue CD.
