“…wash yourself of yourself” (2009 – 10, rev. 2014 – 15)

“…wash yourself of yourself” incorporates two electronics techniques that I developed from 2008 to 2010 and refined in 2014 and 2015. One technique uses real-time spectral analysis to create timbres by both subtractive and additive synthesis. These timbres imitate the original sounds as well as the combination tones our brains create when hearing these sounds. The other technique uses real-time spectral analyses to create statistically transforming clouds of microtonal samples. In the case of my recent piano works, the samples used to create these clouds are also piano sounds. Both of these techniques aim to provide the listener with methods to explore his or her own listening.

“…wash yourself of yourself” presents the these techniques in an open and structured improvisational manner. The title comes from the line in a poem by Rumi, “Be melting snow, wash yourself of yourself.” Following this, the work reflects an attempt to totally formalize and remove any unintentional mannerisms from my music.

The work is written for and dedicated to my lovely wife, the Taiwanese composer and pianist Chen-Hui Jen.
