Making music with your phone
ABC nline – ABC nline – Jul 22, 2007
Their irpheus project combines podcasts phones and laptops with conventional instruments and will be performed in Brisbane next month. An Internet-based program known as PitchWeb makes it possible to send a virtual instrument as simply as by text message from one phone to another. American composer William Duckworth is a pioneer of electronic music and helped to develop the software for his new instrument of choice. He says you do not need to be able to read music notation to play a tune.
Young composers on the rise at Krakow’s Academy of Music
Krakow Post – Jul 22, 2007
I?m just happy that someone wanted to play it that people are listening that they enjoy it? was Marcin?s reaction after the performance of his symphony ?Synchrofonia. ? He has a youthful and fresh energy accentuated by his full head of curly dark hair and soft eyes yet is clear in his expectations from the orchestra both as conductor and composer. ?I will compose some music for theater or movies not independent music. Music dependent from a picture from the play of actors? he says. ?Synchrofonia? resonates with a film score quality. A slow quiet rumbling of brass and electronic instruments open the piece as though the instruments are crawling out of darkness. It expands with speed as warbling drums and strings venture into the music adding tension with gleams of different characters… Music dependent from a picture from the play of actors? he says. ?Synchrofonia? resonates with a film score quality. A slow quiet rumbling of brass and electronic instruments open the piece as though the instruments are crawling out of darkness. It expands with speed as warbling drums and strings venture into the music adding tension with gleams of different characters. The tension is eased with quiet moments of waiting through electronic and metallic sounds soon chased by the full orchestra?s chaos. Despite the cinematic style film composers haven?t been Marcin?s primary sources of inspiration. ?I just listen to various music maybe except the most mainstream pop? Marcin says.
Going Where Electrons Lead
New York Times – Jul 22, 2007
I was in high school in the mid-1960s. It was cold installing garage door openers in unheated garages so I wanted something I could do indoors. When a friend needed new drumsticks I went with him to Gracin’s Music in Freeport N. After looking at the electronic amplifiers I told the owner I could make a more powerful one that cost less. He told me that if I could do that he’d order 100. I converted the basement so I could manufacture these amplifiers and went to work.

AEDT –>The Coodabeens burst from the blocks ready for a lively evening of chitchat palaver gasbagging and rabbiting on. Not content on keeping it ‘in-house’ Covey Champs Richo and Bax opened the lines to the audience and shared the spirited electronic correspondence from listener land.
