My doctoral dissertation (2005) consisting of a composition and a supporting manuscript for piano, cello, flute, and interactive computer. Using MaxMSP, each instrument is fed separately into computer via three microphones and is processed in real-time, generating a symbiotic relationship between the acoustic and electronic counterparts. The ensuing electronic soundscape is generated in real-time solely from the live performers’ output. The work was commissioned by the NeXT Ens and completed while I was teaching at Oberlin College. The project was in part sponsored by the $6,000.00 national graduate student award by the Croatia’s National Ministry of Science, Education, and Sports.
