Present Absence is a work that integrates electronic processing and live
performance. It is approximately 20 minutes long and is divided into three movements.
The movements are distinct from each other, but are related through various elements.
Incorporating electronic processing and live performance can be cumbersome.
The primary objective of this piece is to use electronic processing in a manner that
liberates the performers from any restrictions imposed by the use of electronic
processing.
The electronic processing in the work is accomplished through the program
MAX/Msp, a real-time digital signal processing environment. The patch that was created
for this piece is called MOO-V. This paper discusses the both the technical details in the
construction of this patch, and the aesthetic it serves.
