LAURA M. KRAMER

Program Note

 

During my time at Indiana University, I began creating drones, doppler effects, and other ambient sounds, but never developed them into an entire work. These samples stayed filed away in the "old sketches" folder for about three years, until I began working on an interactive piece for clarinet and MAX/MSP while I was studying at USC.  After I combined both the old remnants and new pallet of sounds together, a series of fluctuating or “oscillating” drones and pulses began to materialize.
