Composer's Notes
«Extended Games» is like a digital painting. I thought of a painting with forms, colours, lines and different textures.
I print this painting on canvas with a large printer, and afterwards I rework the print with oil paint and acrylic paint to extend/augment the spectrum.
I place 2 universes side by side, the virtual and the real universe.It's the same for this piece.
First I recorded some bars with the cello. With the computer, I transformed the sound. ThenI rewrite a new score for cello, thinking of the counterpoint between the electronic sounds/colours/forms and the lines of the cello.
The first version was played by the fanstastic cellist Jean-Michel Moulin and the electronic sounds recorded on the Data Cd Score come from his violoncello. (Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume)
