The accordionist plays small fragments which then spiral outwards, transformed as they recede. After two minutes, three additive synthesizers (synthesized in real time) join in, introducing an expanded palette of timbres ranging from homogenous to rich pulsating textures. Harmonizers stretch the sound of a single pitch, while harmonies derived form ring modulation and just intervals advance the action, culminating with a cascade of just intonation triads from a single high B flat. The widely-spaced microtonal chorale heard faintly at the opening returns at the end, retreating to the distance in the final bars.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<p><div class=\"column\" style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em>Recession<\/em> was written after a year on the IRCAM composition cursus and was premiered 1 April 2009 by Pierre Cussac at IRCAM (Paris, France).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recession\u00a0(2009) for\u00a0accordion and electronics [9:30] The title Recession refers less to the contemporaneous economic collapse than to the word\u2019s original meaning, \u2018the act of receding or withdrawing.\u2019 This sense of<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/christophertrapani.com\/wordpresssite\/recession\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Recession&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-fullpostsnoheader.php","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-881","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
