Luz, Andres - Surveillance State for soprano, alto saxophone, fixed media, and live electronics by Andres Luz

2015

Andres R. Luz

Surveillance State for soprano voice, alto saxophone, fixed media, and live electronics

full score

Program Note In early June 2013, security infrastructure analyst Edward Snowden leaked numerous classified documents detailing the comprehensive global surveillance programs and tactics carried out by the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in the U.K. This revelation prompted widespread and heated concern over U.S. and British governmental policies in the bulk collection of private communications and internet data of citizens and foreign nationals as a means to counteract terrorist activities at home and abroad. Surveillance State for soprano, alto saxophone and live electronics, op. 10, takes as its subject the impact of massive government surveillance on the condition of American Idealism, specifically in matters of the individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to personal freedom and privacy, in the years following the events of 9/11.

Instrumentation / Equipment 1) Soprano voice, amplified (use headworn microphone when possible) 2) Alto saxophone, amplified 3) Laptop computer with stereo output, utilizing Ableton Live 9 or later, with Max/MSP 7 or later 4) Stereo PA system 5) Two input cables and two output cables 6) Midi launch controller(s) (recommended) 7) Monitoring speaker for the performers (recommended)

Duration Approximately 20 minutes.

Interlude: Sacrifice Liberty Scene 1.6 Free meter

[static]..."The whole purpose of the Fourth Amendment is to prevent the government from interfering with the privacy rights of innocent people, a lot of innocent people, in order to find a few that may be planning something wrong. Nobody wants the wrong thing to happen, but the idea that we would sacrifice liberty in order-ah [sic] to maintain safety..."

About the composer Andres R. Luz began his professional life, not in music, but in biotechnology as a laboratory analyst. In 2013, Mr. Luz completed a second bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Music with magna cum laude honors at California State University, East Bay, while continuing to work full-time. After 16+ years, Andres Luz retired from biopharma and made a full transition to study music in Fall 2014, to pursue the Master of Music Composition with Anthony Suter at the University of Redlands in Redlands, CA. Andres R. Luz derives his artistic idiom from the rich legacy of music history stretching back to Medieval and Renaissance stylistic practices, up to those of present day Post- Modernism. Mr. Luz is a member of ASCAP and is published by Post-Classical Music.
