Electroacoustic music composition
Recording of 2024 electroacoustic music composition. Premiere 2024 Australasian Computer Music Conference - October 22nd, 2024 in Melbourne, October 23 in Sydney.
"Obsession" is an acousmatic piece based on juxtaposition of actual and virtual guitar recordings. The piece historicizes the use of FM imitations and older physical models, and blends them with realizations of the instrument from AI-based timbre matching. Here, listening to the boundaries between real and virtual guitars is more than just a technical feature. It explores the idea of the guitar as an electroacoustic instrument, instrumental tropes, and the possibility of liveness as an aesthetic position in fixed media.
