It is nevertheless one of France's healthier languages, and may survive a few more decades. An Ty exists as a solo tape piece and as part of Al lec'h a oa gwir , a piece for chamber choir and tape with speakers buried inside the choir. I would like to thank Adrian Freed and Matthew Wright for their help with the many technical challenges involved in this performance. Techniques of digital audio synthesis such as granular synthesis, spectral mutation, and spectral resonance influenced the compositional approach to the saxophone while the electronic part was inspired by a natural and organic conception of sound.

Technology can extend the acoustic experience.
The timbres, gestures, and the very space from which the sound emanates should originate in the acoustic instrument, in this case, the piano. All sounds are based on piano sounds. I was able to separate the percussive, hammer attack from the longer, resonant decay of the struck piano note. All sounds are created in real time in response to the gestures of the pianist. The MIDI piano in combination with both a sampler and a real time, software based, additive synthesis engine make this possible.
