Impulse Impromptu I-II-III (2021-25)
Fixed media, 3D ambisonics
"Impulse Impromptu" is a series of electroacoustic compositions that delve into the sonic possibilities of traditional instruments through virtual improvisation. Each piece in the series reimagines an instrument as a sound-emitting object, exploring its transformative potential and challenging conventional perceptions of reality within the realm of music. A key aspect of the series is the incorporation of spatial models and High Order Ambisonics, which immerse the audience in an expansive sonic landscape, pushing the limits of traditional stereo imaging and inviting listeners to experience a multidimensional sonic experience
.Impulse Impromptu I: Kanun
The first piece in the series focuses on the Kanun. This piece grew out of extensive recordings and improvisations on the Kanun, allowing its sounds to lead to free associations and a broader sonic world than the other pieces in the repertoire. The Kanun’s resonant strings and unique timbres create a rich tapestry of sound, where some associations are clearly audible and recognizable, while others remain subtle and hidden.
Impulse Impromptu II: Koto
Impulse Impromptu II takes the Japanese instrument Koto out of its traditional context, reimagining it as a sound-emitting object. In this piece, I delve into the sonic essence of the Koto by separating its attack and resonance, using these elements as the basis for the composition. The piece creates an auditory experience as if the audience is inside a distorted Koto, enveloped by its transformed sonic qualities.
Impulse Impromptu III: Musical Box
The third installment in the Impulse Impromptu series explores the sonic world of the musical box—an object both delicate and mechanical, nostalgic and uncanny. The piece is built entirely from musical box sounds, recorded in detail and expanded beyond their usual roles.
