Richard Barrett: codex XII (2013) 
World Premiere

Picture
My compositions entitled "codex" form a series of experiments in composing for improvising musicians, in such a way that the composition has a characteristic identity in terms of structure and expression, while at the same time contextualising rather than restricting the imaginations of the performers. In "codex XII" the performers may base their improvisation on one or more of a number of "tracks", each of which consists of a sequence of indications of various parameters - pitch, tempo, texture and so on - but almost throughout with the additional possibility of departing from the score altogether. (R. Barrett)


Richard Barrett (1959) is internationally active as both composer and improvising performer, and has collaborated with many leading performers in both areas, while developing works and ideas which increasingly leave behind the distinctions between them. His long-term collaborations include the electronic duo FURT which he formed with Paul Obermayer in 1986 (and its more recent octet version fORCH), composing for and performing with the ELISION contemporary music group since 1990, and regular appearances with the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble since 2003. Recent projects include CONSTRUCTION, a two-hour work for twenty-three performers and three-dimensional sound system, premiered by ELISION in November 2011. He studied composition principally with Peter Wiegold, is based in Berlin and currently teaches at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague, having previously held a professorship at Brunel University in London. His work as composer and performer is documented on over 25 CDs, including six discs devoted to his compositions and seven by FURT.
