    FrameGarden (2009)

    FrameGarden is a structured improvisation loosely inspired by the formal arrangement of a karesan- sui, or Japanese dry rock garden. The piece features hybrid/extended alto clarinet and guitar, custom instruments, and interactive computer music. The alto clarinet and guitar incorporate onboard sensor systems that allow each instrumentalist to control real-time processing as part of their normal performance gestures. Custom instruments include The Globe and The Banshee, new instruments designed by Rovan, and The Digital Poplar Consort, a set of four new sensor instruments designed by Patton and Montoya.

    All sources – extended alto clarinet, extended guitar, and new instruments – control real-time processing in MaxMSP and STEIM’s LiSa. Includes a brief discussion of this performance.
