The rules are important

 
From the second half of years eighty with the use of sequencers midi and the computers is begun the possibility in music live to replace the musician (for the reduced number of executory, for the difficulty and therefore to the inability to play). Then as technical and composer I have often used in my study the sequencer midi that he allowed of save into the use of tracks on the recorders with coils (then many expensive).

 

My choice for music from live one as single executor was categorical: not to never use musical notes in automation but only percussions and not in fixed sequence. This choice would have put to me in enormous disadvantage regarding who with a single blow of switch put in function an entire orchestra.

 

I have tried then of the solutions that personalized to me and played in my favor. In the first place the sound quality therefore: bonds expander, sounds elaborate to you on measure, an excellent system of amplification and much job of regulation. Then I have adapted a converter audio midi and constructed an exclusive microphone that allowed me to correctly execute with the voice the solisti instruments. At last I have assembled and programmed a computer that through a keyboard changes for every type of brano all the sound, the effects, and the pattern of drum machine.

 

In order to demonstrate that it is possible to propose something of realistic, I expose of the rules that is given in order to try one to me musical ethics in the live performances, in my case like single executor.

The principle is that the execution must be free from ties that regard the harmonic and sequenziale composition of the brano, in order to allow to create at the moment type of music. The only compromise in order to use the instruments in automation is that the sound does not refer to musical notes but to noises (drum, percussions, etc). This material will not have to have one predetermined sequence but to be repeated cyclical for little patterns. With manual switch or to pedals can be used and to allow the musician to create at the moment the music
