Abstract:

Program notes: The duo Little Soldier Joe uses percussion and live processing to explore thematic and textural ideas that arise in the improvised interplay between these two performers. LSJ uses live sampling and manipulation matter-of-factly as an established manner of music making. The audio manipulation techniques used are based on recent developments in particle synthesis. About the performers: Øyvind Brandtsegg: Composer, musician and professor in music technology at NTNU. His focus lies in Compositionally Enabled Instruments, Particle Synthesis and sound installations. Øyvind has performed with the groups Krøyt and Motorpsycho, written music for interactive dance, theatre and TV, and worked as a programmer for other artists. His latest effort in music software programming is the “Hadron Particle Synthesizer”, to be released as a device for “Ableton Live”' and as a VST plug-in. Carl Haakon Waadeland: Musician, composer and professor in music at NTNU. His main scientific interest lies within empirical rhythm research and the construction of models that simulate rhythm performance. Waadeland has performed and recorded amongst others with Gary Holton & Casino Steel, Warne Marsh, Siris Svale Band, Mikis Theodorakis & Arja Saijonmaa, Dadafon, and Rasmus og Verdens Beste Band. Waadeland published a book and CD on the Norwegian folk drum tradition in 2008.
