Charles á Nuit - Drums and Different Cannons #5
Staying at a hotel near Charles de Gaulle airport in the summer of
2002, I was struck by the sound of the traffic on the A1 motorway; it
was loud and persistant, and enhanced by the recent rain storm. About
4am I recorded a series of samples.
Charles at Night uses one of these samples, and is modified
with some resonant filters whose frequency and bandwidth are
controlled by the Henon equation.
The piece is somewhat loud and liable to give the listener a
headache. It however what I wanted.
First performed in Dublin, March 2007, as part of the EarDrum
festival.
