Subject[Csnd] Your favourite music with live-electronics
Dear community,
it's an off topic, but I would be interested in:
What are Your favourite pieces with live electronics?
Off course I know "repons" and "dialogues de l'hombre " Boulez, but these are rather old and I would like to listen to interesting pieces by other composers, extending my musical horizon.
Thanks
Stefan

I quite like the music of Henry Vega, Scott Wilson, Iain McCurdy and
Victor Lazzarini, all of whom make interesting use of live
electronics. I'm sure you can find tracks online, I know Henry has a
fair amount of music available on his website.

Btw, it seems there are more than one Scott Wilson's produced music,
the one I was referring to is the Canadian Scott Wilson who uses a lot
of supercollider for his works. He doesn't have much music online but
you can find some here:

Most of Carl Stone's recorded work comes from his live practice. While not very new anymore, I especially like the works on his 'Four Pieces' album, which I think used the 'M' composition/performance software. Which, surprisingly, seems to be available from Cycling 74

well, having witnessed the "evolution" (or rather lack thereof, technology
aside, of course) of electroacoustic music during the last 20+ years, i
wouldn't say that those pieces by boulez are too old, really...

anyway, one piece i liked was john chowning's "voices", for soprano and
computer-generated sounds (2005).

Depends on your definition of 'live'. If it includes fixed sounds + instruments then the list goes on, with Stockhausen's Kontakte and Parmegiani's Violostries on the top for me. As for live processing, I'd go with Matra as my top choice. OK, it's 'old' but... I think ultimately it's about the experience of liveness, rather than the means of production as such, so I find the term 'live' problematic. Anyway, most live pieces coming out of Ircam involve mostly triggering of prerecorded sounds. 

Recently we performed Violostries, and it was one the most interactive chamber music performances I've ever done with electronics. I only had control over the levels and the distribution of the sound in the space, and the violinist was largely improvising. The level of intensity and musical interactivity was absurd! No one thought it was fixed sounds on tape.

I also suggest, Smalley's Clarinet Threads and Piano Nets. As well as most of Marco Stroppa's works. ...and Jonathan Harvey.

Also look at Alejandro Vinao.

talking about live processing and "old" pieces, i attended the world
premiere of luigi nono's post-prae-ludium n. 1 per donau, for tuba and
live electronics, at the donaueschingen festival in 1987 (man, am i old...)
and i was very impressed by the piece (although i am not a big fan either
of this kind of pieces or of luigi nono in general).

and about john chowning's "voices", the computer part is synthesized "live"
in real-time, using a pitch-detection algorithm to follow cues by the
voice part.
