Artist: Sebastian Lexer
From: England
Track: Rapprochement
Album: Dazwischen
Label: Matchless Recordings
From: London
Year: 2009
Notes: Sebastian Lexer on Piano, Max/MSP programming, recording and mastering. On this album Microphones are used to capture the acoustic sound from the piano, a personally developed software (based on Max/MSP) is used to analyse the acoustic sound. The resulting data streams are reporting pitch information, loudness, density and so forth, and, combined with some more direct controls, evoke a mixture of digital audio processes and allow adjustments. All processes are happening in real-time. Lexer calls this process Piano+. If you visit Sebastianlexer.eu there a number of live performances and pieces there for listening and download.
