The computer listens to the pitch (frequency) of the saxophone throughout the performance for cues, leaving the saxophonist in complete control of the pacing of the piece. All the electro-acoustic sounds originate from the live saxophone sound; there are no pre-recorded sounds, and all the sounds from the computer are processed at close to real-time. Therefore, as the title suggests, the saxophonist is “shadowed” throughout the piece by the electro-acoustic sounds. Most of these sounds consist of delayed effects that are modulated or filtered. The computer also records the saxophonist during the performance and then plays back granulated samples near the end of the piece. Shadowed was commissioned by Randall Hall, who premiered the work at the 2006 North American Saxophone Alliance Conference in Iowa City, Iowa, and the piece is dedicated to him with admiration.
