[48] QUANTIC LANDSCAPE, acousmatic (2023) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/60456
Quantum particles are the most fundamental part of our existence and of everything that surrounds us. Consequently, the sound generation of the composition consists of an autogenerative and autopoetic system that generates micro-sound particles based on a heavily modified version of Xenakis' GENDYN program for stochastic sound implementation, supported by machine learning algorithms. This system, programmed by the author in Max software, not only controls the generation of sound synthesis, but the generated signal also controls other parameters, such as multichannel spatialization via Ambisonics by a special algorithm also developed by the author. The overall result is a landscape of micro-sound particles moving very quickly between the speakers (in the multichannel version, while for this particular mix for CD only within the stereo image), a sonic representation similar to the movement in time and space of quantum particles. Using autogenerative and machine learning algorithms, the composition aims to question the way audiences listen to this kind of music in terms of both its sonic and spatial properties, which are hereby inextricably linked, contributing to challenge audiences with new ways of listening in today's rapidly changing world due to the increasing automation of technical processes, for example using AI. As in quantum physics, sounds are hereby similar and constantly moving but none is equal to the other; the overall crescendo may resemble the moments before the Big Bang.

[47] ZUSAMMENSPIEL I, for viola, clarinet in A and live-electronics in 8.1 surround sound (2022) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/60250
Composition in which viola and clarinet are combined with spectral digital effects and multi-channel spatialization.
The idea of "playing together" contained in the title in German was the starting point of the artistic working process. This is clearly noticeable from bar 1, as the chosen pitches for both instruments are intertwined so that, together with the real-time electronics, all 3 create timbres that portray their fusion rather than the sound of each instrument alone. In addition, the composition presents innovative aspects in terms of real-time digital effects, for example, the accumulation and evaporation of spectra of both instruments captured by the electronics in real time or the combination of different techniques (among others Ambisonics) responsible for the particular spatialization of the electronics. Moreover, the composition is another example of the complete automation of the electronics, a technique developed by the author for years. Composed with the generous funding of MUSIKFONDS (Germany).

[46] SPLASH NOISE, online stereo music (2022)
Premiered on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 @ Galerie Gublia - Kreuzeskirchstraße 3 - 45127, Essen, this composition is based on the software developed by Friedhelm Hartmann and Heinz-Josef Florian. working with the so called hypersound touchpoints defined as the intersections where sounds connect via the World Wide Web to create a shared experience for all participants. As in a true hypertext model, a particular sound progression is composed online by linking to sequences of other sources through many points of correspondence selected for meaning and musical context. Composers collaborating in this composition and its performance during the BLAUES RAUSCHEN 2022 festival were:

[45] BTHVN (Beethoven and his inner sonic cosmos), multichannel acousmatic music (8.1, 16.2 and 24.2) (2022) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/56759
The word cosmos can be defined as "a complex, ordered, self-contained system". This, then, defines the aim of this piece by offering an interpretation of Beethoven's inner world and how he may have perceived the world around him, especially in light of his hearing loss. By proposing a journey into Beethoven's mind, the composition confronts the audience not only with his music, ideals and obsessions, but also with his particular and challenging situation as a deaf composer, helping to understand the full spectrum of feelings, thoughts and music in Beethoven's psyche.
The composition works with 2x recurring leitmotifs: on the one hand 4x evenly repeated rhythms, which can be found rather obsessively in several of Beethoven's compositions, especially in his 5th Symphony (Op. 67), but also in the Sonata 'Appassionata' Op. 57 (I), the Piano Concerto Op. 58 (I), the Cello Sonata Op. 69 (I), the Violin Concerto Op.61 (I) , the String Quartet Op. 74 (III), etc.; on the other hand, the melody and accompanying words that appear before the 'Grave' movement of his String Quartet Op. 135: "Must it be? It must be, it must be!". These words can be interpreted in different ways: While they could refer directly to the 'Grave' movement of the quartet, they could also be seen as a comprehensive expression about its fate. The first leitmotif (4x evenly repeated rhythms) is not only quoted from these works by Beethoven in the composition, but also by 4 door knockers, suggesting a possible inspiration for this repeated rhythmic motif. In addition to musical quotations from Beethoven's compositions, excerpts from Haydn and Mozart appear at the beginning, since both composers were Beethoven's pathfinders who influenced his musical formation and thus his 'inner sound cosmos'. Most of the quotations are mainly (though not throughout) spread over Beethoven's lifetime, from the aforementioned musical influences (Haydn/Mozart) to his own compositions, with various DSP effects conveying the idea of the gradual loss of hearing, thus showing an intimate approach to Beethoven's mind.
Many of the quotations are either melodically or harmonically related: one example is the sense of an interrupted cadence that arises at the very beginning of the piece from the combination of the beginning of the re-exposition of the first movement of the Violin Concerto (4x D major full orchestral chords) and the first orchestral chord of the first movement of the 3rd Symphony (E flat major). Not only because of the spatial audio characteristics of the piece, but also and especially because of the heavily processed sound design representing Beethoven's gradual process towards deafness, the piece shares its qualities and characteristics with those usually found in works of sound art and therefore requires special attention when listening to its entirety.
World Premiere: 25.6.2022 @ NYCEMF (New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival) 2022 - Loreto Theatre, Sheen Center, 18 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10012 (NYC, USA) - https://nycemf.org/

****.[44] BEFREMDLICHE LANDSCHAFTEN, acousmatic stereo (2021) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/56090
The title refers to the mixing of various forest noises (recorded in south-east London in June 2021, close to the Thames river) and their combination with autopoetic synthetic and automatically generated sounds. Thus, the listener is confronted with different realities – some virtual, others from nature – offering a rich variety of perspectives in which how these sounds originated and how they are used in the short electroacoustic piece.

[43] BTHVN/KTZR und das Jahr 2020, acousmatic stereo (2020) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/55139
Fears, worries, panic, helplessness, existentially palpable dangers are situations that both 2020 and Beethoven's life have in common. Consistently, 2020 was both the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth and would have been Georg Katzer's 85th birthday. Katzer (1935–2019), was a pioneer of electroacoustic music in the former German Democratic Republic. BTHVN/KTZR und das Jahr 2020 exposes therefore the communality emerging from both situations proposing a journey into Beethoven’s mind, confronting listeners with his challenging situation as a deaf composer, for which numerous audio effects are appropriately used along in the composition, gradually depicting Beethoven's unstoppable deafness and is meant as an homage to both composers.

[42] BEETHOVENS GEIST, quadrophonic (4.1) acousmatic composition by Javier A. Garavaglia & Claudia Robles-Angel (2020) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/54846
BEETHOVENS GEIST is an quadrofonic acousmatic piece specially composed for the Sound & Light installation of the same name and by the same authors.
The installation BEETHOVENS GEIST (the title means in English 'Beethoven’s mind') invites visitors to immerse themselves in a space made up of coloured shadows (inspired by Goethe’s Colour Theory) and a special way of listening to music, via bone transmission headphones. Also known as bone sound, bone conduction refers to the transmission of vibrations through the skull bone that surrounds the hearing organ (near the middle ear), with perception masked by signals transmitted as airborne sound due to the skull bone's high acoustic impedance. Bone conduction is said to have been used by Beethoven in his later years. The acousmatic piece is about 45 minutes long and consists of 19 sections composed in succession:
(1) Introduction; (2) Promenade I; (3) Mozart, Haydn; (4) Promenade II: Bells, Water - Hearing Disorders I; (5) Goethe: Mephisto's Flea (Goethe’s Poem, Lied by Beethoven); (6) Promenade III: Horse Cart - Hearing Disorders II; (7) Cello Sonata in A; (8) Promenade IV: Birds; (9) PASTORAL Symphony: II Movement - Scene by the Brook; (10) Must It Be? (11) Musical Creation I; (12) Promenade V: Birds (Filter); (13) An Die ferne Geliebte; (14) Promenade VI: Birds (Filter) II; (15) Musical Creation II: Filter; (16) Promenade VII: Hall/Filter/Horses/Delays; (17) Musical Creation III: Filter; (18) DEAFNESS: Low Frequencies; (19) Finale.

[41] MOMENTE for viola and live-electronics in 8.1 surround sound (2018) - https://www.emdoku.de/en/work/emdoku/40938
MOMENTE was specially commissioned by the 15. Internationales Klangkunstfest Berlin M O M E N T (6 - 9 September 2018)
The composition features different "moments" where a single main musical theme appears in different versions and variations (and in complete form only towards the middle of the piece). Each "moment" features the musical thema (or parts of it) in the viola with live-electronics in unique musical characteristics, which are not repeated in the same manner anywhere else in the composition. The piece makes strong usage of spectral DSP processes, continuing the trend of my pieces for live-electronics since DUO SPECTRALIS for Viola and Tárogató in 2015.World Premiere: 08.09.2018 - 15.
