Noneto: A Collaborative Sonic Interaction Between the Real and the Virtual

Abstract

Description

Noneto is an electroacoustic composition for string quartet and a quintet of loudspeakers. Each one of these sound sources perform written music: instrumentalists play their lines following a visual clock while a Max patch performs the voice of the loudspeakers. The overall timbre of the piece is generated by a sound synthesis module specifically coded for Noneto which features two digital wave modulation processes: 1) a resynthesized live sound amplitude modulation entitled RESA modulation, and 2) a process called double modulation which utilizes four oscillators consisting of one carrier and three modulators. Noneto re-contextualizes and blends different methods of music composition the dodecaphonic series, modes of limited transposition, Karlheinz Stockhausen’s idea of formula (mantra), musical interactivity, and others which are merged together to create a piece of music that challenges the senses, driving the ears through a virtuosic aural journey of three musical movements which are based on the same musical seed, while exploring an innovative human-machine music correlation.
