Andi Spicer Writing Work For Midi Wind Controller & Laptop To Be Performed By Julien Feltrin At All Ears Festival In London


Started writing work for midi wind controller and synthesizer for woodwind specialist Julien Feltrin to be performed at the All Ears Contemporary Music Festival In London in September. The piece will be in three parts and will use the Yamaha WX5 wind controller and VL70-m virtual acoustic tone generator synthesizer. The provisional title is 'The Anthropic Principle' and will also use a Apple G4 laptop running MAX/MSP, Reason and Logic software.
To quote Wikipedia: In cosmology, the anthropic principle in its most basic form states the truism that any valid theory of the universe must be consistent with our existence as carbon-based human beings at this particular time and place in the universe. In other words, "If something must be true for us, as humans, to exist, then it is true simply because we exist." Attempts to apply this principle to develop scientific explanations in cosmology have led to some confusion and much controversy.
