Sillage (2023)
Commissioned by Kim McCarthy for the RISE Dance Collaboration Showcase at WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts)
Almost all sounds are derived from improvisations at the prepared piano. These sound sources were processed and extended in the DAW. The majority of percussion, kick drums, sustained sub-bass notes, are all derived from the piano samples. Some additional samples were added at a late stage in the works development - an orchestral bass drum, tom, tam tam, kick drum (used sparingly), pink noise oscillator, vinyl crackle, rock.
The work was commissioned for dance choreographer Kim McCarthy to feature for the RISE dance collaborations at WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts). The design team also created some imagery that strongly influenced the initial direction of the work.
