Manuella Blackburn is an electroacoustic music composer who specializes in fixed media creation. She has composed for loudspeakers, instruments and electronics, laptop ensemble improvisations, and music for dance. Manuella Blackburn has worked in residence in the studios of Miso Music (Lisbon, Portugal), EMS (Stockholm, Sweden), Atlantic Centre for the Arts (New Smyrna Beach, FL, USA), and Kunitachi College of Music (Tokyo, Japan). Manuella’s practice focuses on microscopic sonic detail and how these miniature materials can be organised within works of sound art. This process has led to new creations based on inherently small materials (clock’s ticking, ice cubes cracking, light switches turning on/off and electrical appliance bleeps). Manuella’s interests also extend to the world of sampling and intercultural exchanges that translate into music making.

A couple of months later I returned back to Greece after a long stay in England and I restarted to work on the material at my personal home studio. However, a new move stopped me again from its development. Finally, everything came together one year later during the summer of 2004 where the piece finished at the Mastering Studio of the Department of Music Technology and Acoustics in Rethimno, Crete. Having the luxury to work without deadlines and on a non real-time environment I tried to refine and control the finniest sound detail. I tried to create a kind of virtuosity of the medium. The sound material, not easily recognized most of the time, undergoes a rather simple transformation in terms of sound processing using editing tools such as hard-limiting, maximizers, cut n paste, dynamic envelope changes, time stretches, and binaural spatialization. The piece ends with a pulse drone created with tiny strokes of a metallic stick on a 19 inches timpani. The work is dedicated to the composer Sungji Hong. - Panayiotis Kokoras, Rethimno August 2004. This piece was awarded First Prize at the international electroacoustic composition competition Musica Viva 2005 in Lisbon, Portugal.

(2008) for solo soprano saxophone Bera Romairone !1 COMPOSERS’ SYMPOSIA Tuesday, 13 June 2017 13.30 Sound potential and its realization in my works with and without media Elvira Garifzyanova My presentation is about the questions that go to the musical and electroacoustic processing and interaction with the writing in order to develop a creative way of thinking. It is a work of experimenting with instruments, objects, acoustic/electronic sounds in order to find their specific potential and individuality for its further development in my compositional practice with and without media. These sounds and ideas related to the technical and acoustical possibilities are tested, analyzed and described in order to have the ability to create a specific musical resource for me as a composer and to expand that acoustically or electronically. It is about a creation and research of a certain interaction between these parameters in order to open a new perspective in the work processes which allows to extend the traditional thinking and writing. It is also a reflection on the field of both musical and other different aesthetics.

  • Response (2001) (Part of the Grand Piano Trilogy) for Tape Alone Duration 9' 06 Minutes Response for Tape Was Composed During
    Response (2001) (part of the Grand Piano Trilogy) for tape alone duration 9’ 06 minutes Response for tape was composed during the summer of 2001 while I was composer in residence at the studio ‘Métamorphose d’Orphée Musiques et Recherches in Ohain, Brussels. It follows Breakwater as the second piece of a project in process called Grand Piano Trilogy. I decided to take a unified sound source, the sound of the piano, in order to go deeper into the sound and the structure of it, to investigate its own gravities and tensions. The piece is characterized by a wide variety of both artificial and natural responses, triggered by energetic impulses and resonators. The response vibration may be a simple harmonic motion based on a minor second, or a more complex action created by distorted sounds or inharmonic textures. The response’s impulse may be as short and simple as a click of a spire along the string, a cluster produced by a modified hammer inside the piano, or a damped or pizzicato note. In these examples, the sound material is manipulated in the time domain through convolution, granular processes, time-stretching and other techniques. On the other hand, the response may be an elaborate resonant structure itself. Energy is applied as a repeated stream of pushes functioning as sound generators. The sources used to achieve this are circular, sweeping and accelerated strumming sounds performed inside the piano with different materials such as glass or plastic. The processing techniques which are applied are in frequency domain FFT-based cross synthesis and analysis/ resynthesis, as well as more standard signal processing, such as harmonizing, frequency shifting, phasing and specialization.
