Labyrinth for cello and tape.
About Labyrinth:
The tape utilizes in several sections four prerecorded cello tracks (recorded by the soloist) which, in performance, are played through two speakers placed on either side of the soloist. These cello sections themselves (both live and prerecorded) are serially organized for duration as well as for pitch. The piece attempts to combine the simplest rhythmic timbre and rhythm cycles, and the most traditional form of sound production (the stringed instrument) with the newest form (electronic and tape). All-in-all the composition was meant as an exploration into new ways of shaping the basic musical materials into coherent and interesting musical experiences.
Mr. Ischar's instrument was made by Jean-Francois Cuypers in 1750.
