System Requirements Dracones Nursery Performance Requirements

• Macintosh computer running OSX with at least 1GB Ram • Cycling 74’s Max 6 or higher (application or runtime) installed on computer (Obtain the patch from the composer at [email protected]) • Audio interface (Requires Mic In, Two-channel Out) • USB foot pedal (The Pedal is set to trigger with spacebar) • One microphone • One stage monitor for the performer • At least two loudspeakers set in a stereo configuration.The performer controls all electronics, so the computer and audio interface must be on stage. The microphone routes into the computer for processing. Outputs from the computer allow an engineer or assistant at the mixer to control balance levels between the amplified saxophone, reverberated saxophone (optional if needed) and live electroacoustics. The graphic below illustrates basic configurations.

Performer InstructionsBrackets

Gesture and motive segments within brackets can be played in their entirety or in sections for the time listed above them.

Electronic Cues

The interactive electronics are based on cues advanced by the performance through wireless foot pedal.

Circled numbers represent the cue to be set.

Cues align vertically with time.

Multiphonics

Multiphonics were referenced from Marcus Weiss and Giogio Netti’s The Techniques of Saxophone Playing. Numbers refer to those numbers in the book.

The fingerings are ordered in how they appear in the score.

Some multiphonics may recur at different dynamic/overblow level.

Multiphonics that appear earlier in the piece (that are performed at the same level) are not re-printed.
