The Effect of Bundled Sticks on Sound
Programme Note:
“if something has an interesting enough sound, you don’t have to play as much on the instrument … the sound takes over… [It’s] part of the composition.” – Marcus Miller
This piece was originally written as a sonic exploration of the bassoon – but to move beyond the repertoire for acoustic solo bassoon, and to extend the sound world of the instrument by including a microphone and FX pedals. The main motif is constructed from two fragments: a rising tone, and a falling 7th then 6th . These fragments are rearranged, reversed, stretched and manipulated throughout the piece. Also, of particular interest to the listener, the influence of funk and blues music should be quite clear throughout the piece. But at its essence this piece is an exploration of sound

Constructing a Collocation Learning System from the Wikipedia Corpus
Get PDFThe importance of collocations for success in language learning is widely recognized. Concordancers,
originally designed for linguists, are among the most popular tools for students to obtain, organize,
and study collocations derived from corpora. This paper describes the design and development of
a collocation learning system that is built from Wikipedia text and provides language learners with
an easy-to-use interface for looking up collocations of any word that occurs in Wikipedia. The use
of this corpus exposes learners to contemporary, content-related text, and enables them to search for
semantically related words for a given topic. The system organizes collocations by syntactic pattern,
sorts them by frequency, and links them to their original context. The paper includes a practical user
guide to illustrate how to use the system as a language aid to facilitate academic writing
To Sleep
Get PDFScore for structured improvisation.
Created by Jeremy Mayall.
Brought to life in performance in collaboration with Kent Macpherson and Yotam Levy.
TO SLEEP is the second longest continuous piece of music to ever be performed anywhere (after Organ²/ASLSP (As SLow aS Possible by John Cage which is scheduled to last 639 years!). TO SLEEP is an experiment. It is an exploration of music’s capacity to induce meditative, otherworldly and perhaps even psychedelic states, through the process of a communal nights sleep. Drawing primary inspiration from reading about the ambient ‘happenings’ of Robert Rich in California in the 1980s - these were immersive all-night shows, performed to sleeping audiences, that stretched the definition of a ‘concert’ beyond all familiar limits. These much-mythologised happenings are part physical experience, part community intervention, part scientific experiment, part mystic ritual.
Macpherson and Mayall, along with cellist Yotam Levy will perform a synthesis of found sound, prepared drones, and live instrumental playing. The focus of the event is around everything being very slow. Anything resembling a melody might unfold over a half an hour or so. The concentration is really one of subtlety, slowness, extremely drawn out transitions, and exploring an unfolding sense of continuity. The intention with TO SLEEP is to explore the liminal zone between sleep and wakefulness. Creating a space where the audience can guide themselves into a state of half-sleep and notice the way that their brains shift perceptions into an internal world.
Through deconstructing the conventions of traditional compositional and performative approaches, TO SLEEP will explore the potential for dreamlike experiences between the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states - the technical words for when you’re going into sleep and out of sleep. This is a 9 hour long form musical composition within which different ideas, textures, fragments, themes and variations will be woven in what essentially becomes an endurance performance event! The performers work hard to make the audience feel relaxed, and allow themselves to become part of the immersive multimedia journey.
Mayall has composed a structural guide to shape the 9hour composition as built and developed by the performers
