La Sirena (2014) for computer synthesis Daniel Daowz
General indications
Graphic elements explanation
The composition is written for computer synthesis, therefore the score does not reflect every aspect by which the work is interpreted and it is not the source material by which it is reconstructed. The intention is to have a readable score for the non-programmer musicians. The composition does not have any regular rhythmic value, therefore every whole note and rest has no meaningful significance from the perspective of traditional music notation. It is not proportional notation either. The score does not specify with precision any rhythmic value at all.
Expansion and contraction of instrument texture.

Ascending or descending pitch.
Random notes.
Every chord must be played exactly with the accidentals written on it; it does not inherit them from the previous chords. Pitch that ascends and descends in oscillating movement.
At the end, the reverberation must decay completlely.
Instruments I, II, III, IV: Every group has four sawtooth wave oscillators. A, B: Sawtooth wave oscillators modulated by frequency. Reverberation is fundamental for building the sounds in this work, therefore all these instruments have to be passed through a reverberator.

Ascend or descend the modulation index.
Glissando improvised pitch.
