Contemporary Canterbury
Anthony Ferner - Flute recorded by Michael Clayton, University of Canterbury School of Music.
The tape part in "Sound Cylinders" consists mainly of flute sounds that have been altered or modified with the help of a computer. This not only provides a way for the spectral qualities of the flute to be extended in the tape but also allows for a singularity in the overall timbral character of the work. The flute part calls for several extended techniques, such as tongue rams, and the work attempts to incorporate each of these extended techniques as an integral and integrated part of the overall sound world. The opening inhale/exhale breathing sounds establish the nature of the dialogue between the flute and tape parts. "Sound Cylinders" was written for Anthony Ferner over the summer of 1996 and 1997.
