This work gets its title from a term used by the Futurist composer George Antheil. As a sound source, the piece includes a short sample from the opening attack of Antheil's Ballet Mecanique. This sample was manipulated in many ways including by reduction to sine waves through FFT analysis for the purpose of duration and pitch manipulation. Time Canvas also includes a sample of a drinking glass being struck, which was manipulated using the Kurzweil K2000 synthesizer. In addition to the K2000, the sounds in this piece were also produced in Csound, and from recordings of sketches made on a Serge Modular synthesizer ten years ago at the University of Massachusetts. |
