Programme Note

The tape part in ‘Sound Cylinders’ consists mainly of flute sounds that have been altered or modified with the help of a computer. This not only provides a way for the spectral qualities of the flute to be extended in the tape part, but also allows for a singularity in the overall timbral character of the work. The flute part utilises several extended techniques (such as tongue rams). The work attempts to incorporate each of these extended techniques as an integral and integrated part of the overall sound world of the piece. The opening inhale/exhale breathing sounds establishes the nature of the dialogue between the flute and tape parts in the work. ‘Sound Cylinders’ was written for Tony Ferner over the summer of 1996 and 1997.
