PROGRAM Quotes:

"Fancy - for Organ and Computer-Synthesized Sound .... . .. . . . . .David Jaeger

(Commission premiere)

 

"An English renaissance form of music, 'Fancy' is used as the basis for a joint work ­ music and visual ­ by David Jaeger and artist, Carol Sutton Martin. The visible part consists of flakes of coloured light (soft colours of a Japanese fruit dessert) produced by light organs linked to the computer electronic tape and cast upon two distinct sculptural forms. The first form: hanging mirrors which move freely wit the wind (as the organ is a wind instrument). The second form: high silver-surfaced columns, scattered at random on stage, catching light and reflecting it back to the audience. The composer and artist wish to thank Pennina Coppersmith, architect; Fred Baldwin, builder; James Swanston, carpenter; Martin Liefhebber, draftsman; Henry Zomer, plastics consultant; the University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio, Gustav Ciamaga, director, David Jaeger, graduate of the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, is with the national music department, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."
