[Csnd] Skarnsundet Bridge composition

Hello friends,
here's my composition on the bridge that I've been talking about
earlier, fresh out of mastering this morning.
http://soundcloud.com/brandtsegg/skarnsundet-bru-2011
It is a composition on source recordings from Skarnsundet bridge. The
beautiful architecture of the stayed cable bridge informs formal
aspects of the composition, and the dispersive quality of the cables
is a main timbral theme. Special microphones based on accelerometers
were used to capture the ultra-low frequencies of the cables. The
composition is part of a pilot project for a larger permanent sound
and light installation that I'm working on in collaboration with
visual artist Viel Bjerkeset Andersen. This will hopefully be ready
autumn 2013. The art project on the bridge was initiated by the
municipalities of Inderøy and Mosvik, merging into one municipality on
January 1st 2012.
Csound is of course the tool with which this was made. I used pvs
techniques, partikkel, and single sideband modulation.

Happy Holidays Oeyvind and all, IMHO... Beautifully done... Very interesting and original sounds and the architecture (form) is quite clear and well thought out. Love the organ-like melos near the end. Congratulations!!

Thanks all for the positive feedback. Michael, the organ-like sounds towards the end was made by doing single sideband modulation on dry recordings of the cables. The idea was to lift the cable's spectrum up into the audible range. Most of what we hear is he modulation oscillator pitch, but the fluctuations in the cable recording modulates the tones. The dispersion in the cable creates the sweeping effect in this manner. Rory, the full installation is not ready yet :-) I hope it will be by autumn 2013. Here's some images of the bridge (just googled "skarnsundbrua photos") http://www.google.no/search?q=skarnsundbrua+photos&hl=no&client=firefox-a&hs=rS0&rls=org.mozilla:nb-NO:official&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=VCv0TrDHJ8LS4QTp2t2NCA&ved=0CCEQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=1093 Again thanks best Oeyvind 2011/12/22 Rory Walsh |

The landscapes are breathtaking. Lucky you to live in such a beautiful place. Great Music!

Thanks for sharing Oeyvind. This is very interesting indeed. I look forward to seeing/hearing the installation in 2013. Best, Peiman On 23 December 2011 10:01, Victor Lazzarini |
