| Building on his education in both areas of
orchestral composition and synthetic development, Derek Devore is currently
developing complex compositions built entirely in the computer language C
fused with the developmental environment of Csound. Using this process, Derek
is able to synthetically reproduce many sounds in the natural world being
rendered and reproduced entirely by computer. The results are compositions
that breathe with a natural ambience that, when used in conjunction,
supplement the modern orchestra.
In Common Ragtime
Bursts of complex harmonic structures juxaposed with "rag-time" rhythms create moments of hysteria - only to be complimented with melodic themes and familiar orchestral-jazz textures. A musical description of what soldiers from WWII were experiencing, in the midst of an ironic ballet of bloodshed coupled with brief moments of celebration and victory.
System Activated
Programmed completely in the language of
Csound, this work aims to create a thematic relationship between what is
orchestral and what is purely synthetic.
A musical journey describing what it feels
like to take a plane ride over the Sahara Desert.
