Reflection of Mirror I
Program note:
Reflection of Mirror I is a duet for double bass and electronics, exploring the complex relationship between acoustic sound and digital sound. The piece deals with the concept of reflection, using the mirror as a tool.
The double bass served as the main voice. The electronics, acting as both the counterpart and a distorted “reflection“, respond to double bass with effects such as delay, freeze, and granulator. These effects blur the line between the double bass and its reflections.
The sound played by the double bass is picked up with a contact microphone, which is used for amplification and live processing in a Max patch. The amplified double bass sound is sent to both channels, mix with electronics sound. In the performance space, the double bassist is positioned in the center of the stage, with speakers on the side.
