Everybody to the power of one for soprano T-Stick

摘要

We present a live solo concert performance of an original piece of music - Everybody to the power of one - written for the soprano T-Stick digital musical instrument. Like other digital musical instruments, the T-Stick enables the reincorporation of performer gesture as the main source of control in computer-based music making. A brief description of the instrument development, gesture-sound mapping and performance practice is given, followed by an introduction to the compositional motivation and materials of the piece. Everybody to the power of one is the fourth musical composition created for the T-Stick by composer and performer D. Andrew Stewart.
