This piece is a limited improvisatory correspondence of the bass clarinet and live electronics with images of “Cosmic String dynamics and Evolution”. The person controlling the live electronics will start sending audio through the Max patch and sending an image from the Jitter patch into the projector simultaneously to begin the piece. The clarinet player is controlling Jitter in realtime. The ...

This paper reports the experimental results of modifying the resonances of wind instruments using modal active control. Resonances of a simplified bass clarinet without holes (a cylindrical tube coupled to a bass clarinet mouthpiece including a reed) are adjusted either in frequency or in damping in order to modify its playing properties (pitch, strength of the harmonics of the sound, transient...

This article describe how the authors and the Modalysteam (IRCAM) has collaborated to develop and implement a realtime model of a complete bass-clarinet to be used in the first authors composition "Rippled Reeds" for bassclarinet and electronics, that explore the relation between an acoustic woodwind instrument and a similar virtual one. The intend was to create a model that allowed fingerings ...

An augmented bass clarinet is developed in order to extend the performance and composition potential of the instrument. Four groups of sensors are added: key positions, inertial movement, mouth pressure and trigger switches. The instrument communicates wirelessly with a receiver setup which produces an OSC data stream, usable by any application on a host computer. The SABRe projects intention i...

A time-domain simulation model has been developed for investigating the player-clarinet system. The three components that constitute the simulation model consist of the player's air column, reed, and the clarinet. The player's air column is represented in terms of an analogous circuit model to obtain the mouth pressure. The reed is represented as a damped, driven, nonuniform bar. The clarinet i...

To play the glissando opening Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, expert clarinettists combine unusual fingerings with even more unusual vocal tract configurations to achieve a nearly continuous rise in pitch. To study directly the player’s vocal tract when performing the glissando, we incorporated an acoustic impedance measurement head within a clarinet mouthpiece. The player’s vocal tract impedance ...

serenade op. 24 from arnold schoenberg has been written in 7 movements for 7- person ensemble between 1921-1923 including clarinet and bass clarinet (woodwinds), mandolin, guitar, violin, alto and cello(stringed instrument). movements of this work have some been arranged symmetrically by composer.  the 4th movement of this collection named sonnet has features such as singer accompanied with orc...

A functional model of a simplified clarinet has been developed and implemented on a digital computer. The simplified clarinet consists of a standard clarinet mouthpiece and reed attached to a straight cylindrical tube. In the model, the tube and mouthpiece are represented by a lumped element approximation to a transmission line and the reed is represented as a nonuniform bar, clamped at one end...

Former studies show that removing brightness temporal variations of tones in an expressive clarinet performance induces a decrease in the appreciation judgments among listeners. This study aims to investigate the reciprocal process where a time-varying brightness pattern is extracted from a clarinet performance and added to MIDI sound sequences generated by sampler-based instruments. Performanc...
