I Am Not A Clockmaker Either

accordion, electronics (2009)
Duration7'
Technical requirementsThe electronics for the piece comprise pre-recorded soundfiles and live-processing in MaxMSP. Both are triggered by a MaxMSP patch. There are pedal markings in the score, which indicate where soundfiles or live treatments are triggered. These electronic events may be triggered by the accordionist using a MIDI pedal, or, alternatively, by an assistant using the spacebar on the computer keyboard. The piece has been designed for 8-channel spatialisation, and for use in MaxMSP 5.

Electronic files included with purchase.

Program Note

The title I am not a clockmaker either is taken from the writings of Morton Feldman. In this work, the quote signifies my investigation of sonic, temporal and spatial structures, and their continuously shifting priorities as they are reconstructed into alternative sonic morphologies.

The piece sets into motion a physical force which dissects the instrument into acute shards or material and reconstitutes it in a completely restructured manner. As if one were to take the pieces of a broken egg and glue them back together in such a way that the original oval shape is hardly recognisable.

Through this forceful dissection also comes disruption: as one sonic particle takes lead, it is interrupted, resulting in a new form or organisation emerging: each element of the disorganisation being recontextualised within the next disorganisation. This deconstructive force creates a motion that breaks, ruptures, diverts, convolutes, and coils up on itself so that fragments of the accordion are pulverised together, swirl around one another like clouds, rotate, implode or turn themselves inside out.

Also the space in which the placing and direction of these objects is continuously revaluated: as a certain spatial motion evolves, another intervenes, scrambling it and so a spatial direction of a different nature emerges. These perspectival shifts allow one to zoom in and out on certain fragments of the resynthesised accordion.
