Wanderlust

For wind instrument and fixed media Composed for Sylvia Hinz Premiered 24 November, 2018 at Kunstbunker, Berlin, Germany. Duo version performed 4th August 2019 by Clocked Out at Harrigans Lane Collective, NSW, Australia Program Notes This work is named after a book of the same name by American author Rebecca Solnit published in 2000. The book is in someways a requiem to walking, where the erasure of the journey is seem as the result of the “anxiety to produce” that characterises contemporary life. This piece deliberately meanders; the electronics part is created by the performer to personalise each ‘journey’ of the piece. Instructions The score is proportional – the pitch being read on the vertical axis. A reference line is provided so the performer may reference a central pitch. Only glissandi should be used, except in the pizzicato sections. Shading indicates dynamic. The loudest dynamic is medium soft, the lowest is extremely soft. Width indicates complexity of sound. The score should be read in the Decibel ScorePlayer application on an iPad, or as a video score, available on the composers’ website. The electronics part is embedded in the score file, and can be sent out from the ipad through the headphone jack to a single speaker near the performer. Each performer is encouraged to make their own electronics part for their own performance – a recording of walking to or from the venue. You will need the Decibel ScorePlayer to perform this piece. You create a special file with your own audio recording for the peice Download the Decibel ScorePlayer and the 'ScoreCreator' app here. The ScorePlayer is an iPad appliccation, the ScoreCreator is a desktop application you use to add the audio to the work. Open the Score Creator application, Add the text information as outlined in the image on the right. Download the image file for the solo or duo version here, and add it in the 'Image File' field by browsing for it on your hardrive. Similarly, add the audio recording which must be exactly the same number of seconds you have put in 'Duration' (as per the image, 360 seconds - though you can make it as slow (long) or fast (short) as you like). When you have done this, click the Create! button and a "Wanderlust.dsz" file will be created. You then put this file into the Decibel ScorePlayer app, by sending it to your iPad using air drop. You will have your own personalised piece. If you would rather have your audio recording play separate from the iPad player, you can download the stand alone Wanderlust dsz file for one player here.

本作品为木管乐器与固定媒体音频而作，受西尔维娅·辛茨（Sylvia Hinz）委托创作，于2018年11月24日在德国柏林库恩邦克（Kunstbunker）音乐厅首演。二重奏版本于2019年8月4日由Clocked Out乐团在澳大利亚新南威尔士州Harrigans Lane集体艺术空间上演。

【节目札记】本作品得名于美国作家丽贝卡·索尔尼特（Rebecca Solnit）2000年出版的同名著作。该书在某种意义上可视为一部行走安魂曲，将旅途的消逝归因于当代生活特质性的“生产焦虑”。本作品刻意采用迂回舒展的叙事结构，电子音效部分由演奏者自主创作，以实现每一次演绎的“旅途”都独具个性化色彩。

【演奏细则】本乐谱采用比例式记谱：音高对应纵轴。乐谱设有参考线，方便演奏者锚定基准音高。除拨弦段落外，仅可使用滑音（glissandi）奏法。乐谱的明暗度代表演奏力度：最强力度为中弱，最弱力度为极弱。音轨宽度代表音响复杂度。乐谱需通过iPad端的Decibel ScorePlayer应用程序读取，或通过作曲家官网提供的视频乐谱形式呈现。电子音效部分内嵌于乐谱文件，可通过iPad耳机插孔输出至演奏者附近的单声道扬声器。

每位演奏者均可为自身演绎创作专属电子音效部分——可使用往返演出现场的步行录音。演奏本作品需使用Decibel ScorePlayer应用程序。您可通过自定义音频录制内容生成专属文件：首先下载Decibel ScorePlayer与「ScoreCreator」应用程序。其中ScorePlayer为iPad端应用，ScoreCreator为桌面端应用，用于为作品添加音频素材。打开ScoreCreator应用后，请按照右侧示例图像添加文本信息。点击此处下载独奏或二重奏版本的图像文件，并通过本地硬盘浏览选择该文件，填入「Image File」字段。同理，添加音频录制文件，其时长需与您设置的「Duration」（时长）完全一致（如示例所示为360秒，您亦可根据需求调整时长，令演绎更舒缓或紧凑）。完成上述操作后，点击「创建!」按钮，即可生成「Wanderlust.dsz」文件。随后通过AirDrop将该文件传输至iPad，导入Decibel ScorePlayer应用，即可得到专属于您的个性化演绎版本。若您希望音频录制内容与iPad播放器独立播放，可点击此处下载适用于单演奏者的独立版Wanderlust dsz文件。
