TANIA LEÓN
A X O N for Violin Solo and Interactive Computer
peermusic C L A S S I C A L NEW YORK . HAMBURG
AXON for violin solo and interactive computer is a work in which pulses and impulses travel and refract away from each other thus creating a sound world of new spectral motivic sound images. This piece was commissioned and premiered at the ISCM World Music Days 2002 in Hong Kong by Mari Kimura who created the original MAX/SMP samples based on sound samples of two of the composer’s earlier works. Special thanks to Noah Creshevsky for his assistance in compiling the original sound files used in the work. Ms. Kimura recorded Axon for Bridge Records, released in 2007.
