Maturation, Exploration, and Musicality: New Music for Saxophone and Electronics.

Speaker: Eric Honour, composer, saxophonist, State University of Missouri (USA)

 

In this lecture-recital, composer-saxophonist Eric Honour briefly discusses the maturation of both the saxophone and electroacoustic music in general, and the opportunities for musical exploration it presents to the composer and performer. He discusses and performs three 21st-century works for saxophone and electronics. Each of the pieces makes extensive, musical use of what were recently considered "extended" techniques on the saxophone, and similarly draws upon multiple electroacoustic techniques and approaches, guided by musical, rather than technical or investigative, concerns.

 

The three works are:


1. "Exterminate All The Brutes" (2006, Christopher Biggs)
2. "Luna" (2003, Lou Bunk)
3. "Phantasm" (2008, Eric Honour)

 

The lecture will take place at the Centre for Music Composition & Performance, 156 Ippokratous str, 11472 Athens.
