The Music of Stuart Jones

Transmogrifications III

Transmogrifications III continues my series of works for solo instrument and computer generated sounds. Like the first two pieces in this series (for horn and flute), the computer-generated sounds utilize recorded samples of the solo instrument as source material. Through the use of sound effect techniques such as filtering, reverberation and granular synthesis, the sampled sounds were transmogrified into timbres that sometimes resemble the solo instrument and at other times seem rather surprising. Although they have a wide timbral continuum, the computer-generated sounds were conceived in order to provide constant counterpoint to the live clarinet line which was composed simultaneously.
