| |
| A welcome CD reissue of the original subtle, sustained, and serene |
| vinyl recording. The beautiful and meditative "On the Other |
| Ocean," a new music classic, is Behrman's first interactive piece |
| in which the musicians played acoustic instruments that triggered |
| the production of harmonies from computer-driven synthesizers, and |
| the musicians were in turn influenced in their spontaneous |
| improvising by what the computer did. This is the basic setup for |
| interactive computer music. The computer in this case was a |
| microcomputer called the KIM-1, a precursor to the Apple II, and |
| one of the first personal computers available. Flutist Maggi Payne |
| and bassoonist Arthur Stidfole improvised around six pitches |
| chosen by Behrman, and when they played one of the six notes |
| activating the pitch-sensing circuits, Behrman's homemade |
| synthesizers would produce harmonic responses. This music is of a |
| holy place, an oasis outside the rush of linear time. "Figure in a |
| Clearing," for computer-controlled synthesizer and improvising |
| musician on cello, was the composer's first piece to employ a |
| computer to make music. The software program varied the time |
| intervals ù "modelled on the motion of a satellite in falling |
| elliptical orbit around a planet" according to Behrman ù between |
| chord changes; the resulting slow deflection and pitch- and/or |
| rhythm-shifting modulation seem to create the type of sound |
| elasticity of interest to Behrman, which he has continued to |
| refine in his works. The cellist was given six pitches with which |
| to spontaneously improvise, and was requested that he not speed up |
| when the computer-controlled rhythm did, maintaining his own |
| personality. The timbre of the synthesizer waveforms and cello are |
| perfectly complementary. AMG Review |
