Abstract

Trois Machins de la Grâce Aimante is a composition intended to explore Twenty-First century technological and musical paradigms. At its heart Trois Machins is a string quartet fundamentally descended from a tradition that spans back to the 18th century. As such, the work primarily explores timbral material based around the sound of a bowed string, in this case realized using a set of physically modeled bowed strings controlled by Coretet, a virtual reality string instrument and networked performance environment. The composition - for four performers, preferably from an existing string quartet ensemble - takes the form of three distinct movements, each exploring different capabilities of the instrument itself and requiring different forms of communication and collaboration between the four performers.
