Made In Opusmodus

Here's the first study from 3 études sur un spectre de Trombone for piano, a work using some of the new spectral function of Opusmodus. S.B Etude1.opmo

A quick and dirty test of Opusmodus possibility and capability for Media Music Production. Test successful. Setup is Opmo driving EastWest Hollywood orchestra in Vienna ensemble Pro. Output is the direct output from Opusmodus/EastWest. Naturally this output is just a prototyping and need much more attention (it would be good someday to redo the clarinet part etc..) but it was just a test of a personal Orchestral setup. SB.

I just completed working on a new piece for two 25-string Kayageums (Korean zither-like instrument somewhat similar to the Japanese Koto). All the composition was done within Opusmodus but the coding is a little messy. I hope in my next project to clean up the code a little. During process of composition, I especially liked how Opusmodus can translate text material into different data. For this piece, I used two of the earliest examples of avant-garde poetry from Korea written by Yi Sang (1910 - 1937) that are included in his "Crow's Eye View" 15-poem series. I created the pitches through extrapolations from the texts and by setting the tonalities to t…

This is my first attempt at composing using Opusmodus. It is a rewrite of a piece I had composed last year that connects the Korean Chongganbo notation system with an approach of generating tones (within the ambitus of certain Korean instruments) and rhythms loosely based on the serial approach. In this version, I ended up taking the MIDI data from Opusmodus and sent it to Ableton Live, for which I used samples of two electric guitars and two synthesizers. This piece in its first version was written for 2 Kayageums, 2 Geomungos, and Live Electronics. In the second version (from which this piece is extracted), I changed the instrumentation to 2 Geomongo…
