Innovative Performance Paths with a Wind Controller
Tomas Henriques,
Professor of Composition and Theory, New University at Lisbon
The META-EVI is a novel interface created from an extensive augmentation of the Steiner MIDI EVI, a brass style ‘electric valve instrument’ (EVI), which was expanded with 11 analog sensors and 10 digital switches. By allowing the simultaneous, real time control of a great variety of musical parameters, the META-EVI is able to push the level of musicianship associated with the player of a monophonic wind instrument, to a new plateau of musical expression and complexity.
Thursday, January 29 -- 11:00AM-12:00PM
LOCATION: College of Fine Arts (CFA Building), Room A-6 (basement level
farthest away from tennis courts)
Event: Tour of the Carnegie Mellon Recording Studio
Guide: Riccardo Schulz, Associate Teaching Professor, CMU School of Music
The Carnegie Mellon Recording Studio is set up like any professional recording studio--control room plus live room, with one iso-booth for drums or spoken word or singer/rapper. One unique characteristic is the size of the control room, which is used for teaching as well. The studio runs ProTools with (mainly) Waves plugins for mastering. (Maximum 30 people. No food or drink is allowed.)
