RE: DAVID
RE: DAVID is an interactive composition that I commissioned from Gustavo Matamoros and is included on my recording Beast (iso-42059). It engages a reverse gated compressor to release sound sources when triggered by the trombone. Each performance is unique as the interchange between the improvising trombonist and activated source material is influenced by the quality of the moment.
