Finale composition
To create the piece that would be distinguishable from others I decided to make it in the deferent way. Firstly, I only used two sounds such as tenor saxophone and gamelan. Secondly I aimed to create a varied and interesting piece that would explore the potential and varieties of sound. That was achieved by manipulating a basic and limited sound.
The most important issue while creating the piece was to maintain its perfect form. The piece begins with saxophone solo that is the first theme of the piece, followed by a rhythmical figure, which is gamelan. The form of the piece is A, B, A. In the section B, I used some effects like Ixi quarks pro, and twenty-century techniques as reveres. I also tried to introduce the original sound as gamelan and saxophone to help listener understand the origin of theme. Finally. A motif from the first theme appears and ends up the piece.
Personally I think the form is the biggest advantage of that work.

This week i brought my own composition to perform it and to make Julio listen to it. In the previouse week i was introduced to Ivan parker and i was listening far to much to his pieces. this drive me to create my own piece which has only one sound and try to develop the sound with some effect, the most important issue in my piece that i tried to work on the form of the piece.
in week 9, I brought my piece to the class to perform it. my aim was to demonstrate the technique we learned during the previous week- ixi quark. i found encouragement and comments of my teacher on my piece very helpful and supportive.
we listen to some sketches brought by students, and we try to discuss about the form of the piece and what kind of effect could we use.
This week we brought our own compostions in so that we could have a chance to diffuse them in the hall. We were required to study techniques in the compostion of sonic art, and to take note of the purpose of the pieces we have been studying.
i had a look to Robert Normandeau, is one of the best composer, studied in quebec, one of his work which i was influenced with is Clair de terre, one of his famous album, the idea i was interested at is the pictures of the earth taken from the space which gives you an idea of nature sound that stays in your mind,
if you listen to the overture which is the introduction, you can listen to sound of the nature which it appears in several time with a deferent techniques example we can hear the sound goes a round the speakers,
Clair de terre is build up with a cinematic structure as the title of each movement reveals.
We set up the equipment, we learn which speaker is which compared to mixer, we studied some techniques of how to use sound round the speakers, we have a low speakers as we know and we have a high speakers. A class mate brought CD “clarinet threads” and we used some of techniques as the sound goes a round the room, and also we use the faders setup, how is set up, and also we learn that we can set up the number of faders as we wish, we can choose 1234 or 1243, to make the sound goes a round. This is to make it easier for the performer. There is a very important point as you are performing and using this technique, when the sound goes on silence we have to make sure that is only fader is up, which mean you expecting the sound to come from only one speaker, then you know what you are expecting as a sound, then you move it a round or do what ever you want to do it. When you change the faders we have to make sure before you bring the fader down you need to put the next fader up before bringing previous down, We also have been asked to find a composer of our choice and do some research and bring a piece to class to listen to it.
