Performance Notes General - The notation doesn’t imply the sound produced. The score works as a manual for the performer in order to produce and manipulate the sounds required. - Timbre techniques are to be understood as ideal indications and may thus in practice be treated flexibly and creatively. - The change from one sound type to another should not be executed at one instance (unless indicated) but a ‘transformation time’ should allow the sound to be shaped. This transformation time is important and creative expression tool and should be considered throughout the piece. - Emphasis should be given on the right and rich productions of the variable sound possibilities rather than to exact and precise execution of the passages that anyway are not particularly demanding. - The virtuosity required for the piece may be called ‘La Virtuosite du Son’ for the musician has the duty to make sound and not to play sounds. - The structure and the ideas of the piece can be revealed only if the sound possibilities treated with meticulous precision and accuracy.

Notation

STAFF - RATCHET STAFF: the ratchet staff is divided in 4 main sections the paddle at the bottom, the handle in the middle, the gear wheel at the top. The length of the stretched note-head indicates duration and the thickness the amount of pressure of the bow-stick on the wheel or elsewhere, the thicker the more pressure the thinner the less pressure. Each sound is described with a keyword e.g. “kick start tip” in the example above and a descriptive symbol, in addition text notes in a box may provide further information. The bow-stick indicates its two side with solid black for the smooth side and dashed line for the grooved side. - SOUND STAFF: The lower section of the staff provides a visualization of the sound to be produced. The vertical axis represents frequency and the horizontal axis time. Generally, the coloring/density represents loudness, black for the loud to white for quite sounds. The patterns displayed in this section provide an arbitrary visualization of the sound to be produced such as high/low, bright/dull, ordered/chaotic, coherent/erratic, smooth/coarse, soft/raspy, tonal/noisy, etc. In addition, a number of onomatopoetic and/or echomimetic words and expressions aiming to represent or imitate a sound or its context such as aggressive, peaceful, mournful cry of pain, mental and physical suffering, sorrow or pleasure. - DAXOPHONE STAFF: the daxophone staff is divided in 4 main section the bottom space for the area between the mounting point and the hole of the daxophone’s tongue , the rectangular hole, the curved corner to the nose, the nose at the top and, the tip just above the staff. The length of the stretched note-head indicates duration and the thickness the amount of pressure of the bow-stick on the wheel or elsewhere, the thicker the more pressure the thinner the less pressure. Each sound is described with a keyword e.g. “kick start pull” in the example above and a descriptive symbol, in addition text notes in a box may provide further information. The bow-stick indicates its two side with solid black for the smooth side and dashed line for the grooved side.

Performance Notes - Sound Lexicon examples is Besides the in-score descriptions of the performance notes a complete catalogue of detailed audio/video provided upon request by the composer. This is in order to give to the performer a better insight on how to produce each particular sound, which is so crucial for the piece. For detailed performance notes, please refer to the online video demonstrations. Below you will find an index of the audio/video performance notes by measure numbers: Video Performance Notes for Ratchet

Video Performance Notes for Daxophone

Electronics FIXED ELECTRONICS The Spectrogram below displays the frequency on the vertical axis and the time on the horizontal axis. Moreover, the colorings of grey indicate frequency loudness (from black for loud frequencies to white for silence). It works as visual representation of the tape part in order to guide/ help the performer to follow it easier and more accurately. The spectrogram aims to make it easier to discern individual musically meaningful features. At the left top corner of every staff there is a timestamp of the prerecorded material.

CLICK TRACK • •

•

Download the tape part and the click track so that you can create your DAW project. The stereo electronic part and the amplified sax should be projected from the speakers system. The click track file should be assigned to a separate output send to the performer's earbuds on stage.

AMPLIFICATION For the right projection of the sound details the use of amplification should be applied. It is recommended that both instruments are amplified using a piezo transducer (contact microphone) and condenser microphones.

Daxophone microphone placement Ratchet microphone placement

• Mixer/ Audio Interface with 4 to 6 inputs • 2 or more loudspeakers with subwoofer • Compressor/ Limiter (optional) To intensify the soft sounds and keep untouched the loud sounds without clipping some compression should be applied. This is something that most of the digital mixers have. Also, it is possible by a variety of software plug-ins. NOTE: It is part of the aesthetic of the piece to create a superficial amplification, which results to the loss of the neutrality of the classical known instrumental sound. It is a microscopic point of view.

REVERBERATION (optional) Refer to audio reverb reference file (ViperSnake_reverb-reference.wav) A simple Hall Grand Chamber Type reverb (preferable algorithmic). The numbers below are indicative and depended on the actual performance space and reverberation unit. - Mix: 15% wet, 85% dry - Reverb time: ~1” - Pre-delay: 0 - High Cut: 5500 Hz - Decay: 1.5”

A Barcus Berry 4000 Planar Wave Pickup System and a Neumann KM185 have been used for the daxospone amplification

A Barcus Berry 4000 Planar Wave Pickup System and Neumann KM 185 Stereo Set have been used for the rathet amplification

Instrument Modification and Preperation Ratchet Modification The Trophy Ratchet Effect (pics below) is recommended for the modification but most of ratchets will do with the appropriate modification.

<https://www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/trophy-ratchet-effect> Please follow the step by step video instructions to modify the ratchet contact the composer to receive a private link to access the video

Modified ratchet is mounted on table which works as a resonator, bowstick and daxslide

Paddle extended at the bottom of ratchet, the gear handle screw has been loosened for easier rotation

Daxophone construction To make the Daxophone tongue a small wooden board should be used averaging: 330 mm (12-inch, 22 cm) in length 27.94 mm (1.1-inch, 2.794 cm) in width 5 mm (0.19685-inch, 0.5 cm) in depth

Paint stir stick from a local hardware store could match the above dimensions

Bowstick construction To make the bowstick a small wooden board should be used averaging:
