Nerve Cell_0 (For Cello And Computer)

This work is not music in a conventional sense, it does inhabit that world, but in a new way. The cello is treated fundamentally, as a resonating body, transmitting sounds elementally. The bow on a string, the flux of weight, pressure, speed and angularity releases a myriad of complex sound phenomena. The juxtaposition of multiple sounds on adjacent strings creates fluctuating and rhythmical beatings. The detuning of the instrument increases it's pitch potential and basso profundity. In combination with computer electronics, these elements are multiplied, extended and enriched. Nerve Cell 0 is a joyous, ecstatic, exhilarating and epic vista of sound. It defies categorization. Play it very loud. Anton Lukoszevieze; Performed by Zbigniew Karkowski (computer) & Anton Lukoszevieze (cello).
