Dancescape This piece was originally composed for the Futura '97 Acousmatic Dance Night Festival in France. The aim was to create an dance/ambient piece using quasi-regular or periodic rhythmic elements structured within an acousmatic context. The original material comes from a recorded improvisation performed by myself on bongos. This material was later processed on the computer to give it a more electronic 'touch'. Another source material included a recorded vocal improvisation performed by the Argentinean folk musician and singer Leda Vadallares. This material also underwent several digital manipulations and processing on the computer. Additional material came from further processing applied to the previously described sources as well as from unused sounds that I had accumulated over previous years. The piece is mainly divided into two sections. The first section was constructed with a quasi-regular percussive rhythmic sequence. On top of this sequence unfolds an abstract soundscape composed of different timbres and gestures. The second section is mainly composed of processed vocal sounds and has a more gentle or 'ambient' characteristic
