Quaternions for Winds

Featured Replies

Me and the computer "wrote" this using quaternions where a = duration , b = pitch , c = dynamic, d = articulation.

 

I'm curious how quaternions were used to generate this.  I assume by a, b, c, and d, you mean the coefficients in a + bi + cj + dk, but I don't understand how thinking of this as a quaternion, as opposed to just a set of four values, is relevant to the composition process.

Hi @Uhor!

This one looks like works written in Absolute Serialism with the very precise rhythmic division, but they do not sound as random as them actually quite refreshing to listen to! Thx for sharing.

It sounds simple but I can hardly imagine a perfect live performance. Sounds a bit like Webern though.
