Mirovia Ocean [2021] for chamber orchestra and electronics
Lindsay Vickery
Mirovia is conjectured to be an ancient superocean that surrounded the supercontinent Rodinia in Neoproterozoic Era 1,000 million to 541 million years ago. Like the author’s Iapetus Ocean [2020] , the work is intended as a companion to a set of realtime generative "Tectonic" works Vaalbara [2008], Rodinia [2016] and Pannotia [in progress], functioning as a non-realtime testing site for notational experimentation.
The work uses a scrolling score played by the Decibel Scoreplayer on iPads which can be used for synchronised networked telematic performance. The electronic component comprises live audio processing applied including spectral manipulation, threshing, and temporal and harmonisation effects. The following “score” is a compilation of parts and therefore contains overlapping materials. In a performance each player reads from an individual part.
