"The purpose of my thesis is to create an interactive environment between a saxophonist and computer operator via a musical composition. The composition, 4thoughts, consists of written music for the saxophonist, performance directions for the computer operator and a "patch" (created in the computer application Max/MSP) that generates sounds based in part on the input of the live performer. The goal of the composition is to attain the subtleties that are common in acoustic music within an electroacoustic composition. In this composition, the computer modifies the product of the saxophone performance, while the computer operator uses a MIDI controller in order to communicate with the computer. This approach indeed leads to a greater degree of interaction between the electronic sounds and the performer."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

The journey inward holds fruits of which cannot be obtained outward, for the outside reflects what is within. It isn''t that we are lost, we''ve just forgotten where to look.To the children inside, yearning for us to remember them and all they didn''t receive.To our families and the many questions about where we come from and the traits that show themselves or skip around.To processing what it means to be alive. Because we are. Together.But first, stand in front of the mirror. Take all of you in. And when you are ready, climb inside the mirror and begin to remember who you are.
