about

Conus Textile is named for a species of venomous sea snail. The material in the composition is based on a cellular automata that models the patterns in the snail’s shell, while pace and feel are inspired by the snail’s movements and environment. (Cellular automata are a type of computing model where simple rules are applied to the contents of a grid. These models can generate very complex patterns from very simple rules.)

Most of the electronic sounds are processed pre-recordings of the solo cello parts while a few others are selected samples giving the feeling of water-movement. It was important to articulate the illusion of a vast space that includes movements which might be encountered in deep water: still, slow, echoing, suddenly agitated. Cello and electronics are usually both concerned with motion of time and space. No cello sounds are electronically processed live.

Recorded at the City of Basel Music Academy on January 9, 2021
