"Vexations-c.i.p. (Composition in Progress) "
MOHRI Yuko + MIHARA Soichiro (Japan)2005


This work presents "Vexations", an odd piano piece of a single phrase repeated 840 times, originally composed by Erik Satie in the late 19th century, interpreted through an automatic, computer-controlled looping system. While incorporating modifications caused by data of environmental noises recorded with microphones at the venue, the software automatically generates new scores, based on which the piece gradually changes as the performance continues.
Closing Event
*Automatic Midi piano performances of the 840 times repeated phrase will be shown on the last three days of the exhibition at Tokyo Opera City.
