Music

slippery chicken has been used for the creation of numerous compositions since 2000, including works for instrumental ensembles, for fixed audio media ('tape'), and for combinations of instruments and computer/'tape'.

Forthcoming release

A USB memory stick and limited-edition CD release of some of these works is planned for Summer 2012. Unmastered pre-release mixes of four of the works can be auditioned below:

altogether disproportionate
for piano and computer, with Per Rundberg
who says this, saying it's me?
for tenor saxophone and computer, with Gianpaolo Antongirolami
for Magda Cordell, if she'll have it
for piano and computer, with Rei Nakamura
don't flinch
for guitar and computer, with Yvonne Zehner

Scores

Michael has used slippery chicken to create scores in Lilypond, Common Music Notation (CMN), and Sibelius (via the import of MIDI files). Here are some examples:

Lilypond: you are coming into us who cannot withstand you
CMN: cheat sheet
Sibelius: altogether disproportionate
