Arrow of Time for flute and tape

Composed by Yoichi Nagashima, performed by Satoko Ohta

Arrow of Time is composed for the performer, Satoko Ohta. The composer processed pre-recorded flute sounds using Kyma and some software of his own design to create the tape part. He prepared a score and Satoko improvised the rhythm, scale, and phrases from this notated material.

Colors of the Sound for voice and live electronics

Composed and performed by Yasushi Yoshida

The signal processing patches were composed in Kyma, and these patches are sequenced by time control objects within Kyma during the performance. His processed voice together with sampled female voices create the harmonies.

Voices of Time for flute and live electronics

Composed by Yoichi Nagashima, performed by Satoko Ohta

This piece is live computer music for flute and live computer system using Kyma. There is no CD or fixed part in this work, the sound of flute solo is live sampled and live processed by Kyma.
