Focus

Mattias Petersson, 2019

Focus is a structured improvisation piece for ensemble, composed for the Royal Live Electronics Ensemble at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

Playing

Run the following line to start:

f = Focus();

This opens a new window with a blank card.

Now pick an arbitrary (or agreed upon) start sound.
Press space and follow the fade in of the card.
When the card displays a word, focus on that musical quality and adjust your playing accordingly.
The piece ends with the card going blank.
