Mark Grey is becoming increasingly respected as a composer in his own right. Inspired by the talents of cellist Joan Jeanrenaud when they both worked with Kronos, Sands of Time is the second piece Grey has written for her. Utilizing live cello, three pre-recorded celli, and signal processing, the piece is ultimately a journey through means of granular synthesis. Mark Grey first met Joan Jeanrenaud, for whom he wrote this piece, when they worked with the Kronos Quartet in the late 1990’s. He composed his first piece for her, Blood Red, in 2000. Grey’s compositions combine a solo acoustic instrument with live electronic effects and Sands of Time is an example of this genre. It was composed for one live cello, three pre-recorded celli and live digital signal processing. The work is a granular synthesis journey, as celli push their way through giant pulsing filters. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/ 2004-03-05 00:00:00 other_minds bernard@otherminds.org 2004-12-16 14:45:55 bernard 0 00:19:48 2004-12-16 14:47:25 bernard All Other Minds programs available, with additional print and photo materials, at http://www.radiOM.org.
