Destruction (2013) 9' 17"
for 2 flutes, alto saxophone, french horn, bass drum, tam-tam & live-electronics
"Destruction" is a spectral composition with real- time live processing. My model for the form of the piece was a poem with a similar name, but I didn't want to inform the audience about the content of the poem, to give them any prototypical , because I wanted to contact the audience just through the sounds and noises .
The structure of the composition is so solid that the chance has almost no role in composition and playing. The piece could be analyzed from each dimension (pitch, timbre, intensity and duration).
*The whole score for the intruments and live-electronics has been notated exactly in real-time.(without any graphic notation and improvisation).
*All harmonies are based on the overtones of 3 notes (C-E-F#) and there are just a few inharmonic and subharmonized tones (except the noises from percussion instruments).
