A Thalweg is a line connecting the lowest points of successive cross-sections, most commonly the lowest points in a body of water. As such it is often transformed into a symbolic and transient boundary between human-defined territories. In this work a scrolling extended notation score is presented to the performer in indeterminately selected sections. A real-time spectral analysis of the electric guitarist’s performance is used to determine parameters of audio processing including temporal and pitch shifting, spectral manipulation and threshing and down-sampling. The analysis data obtained in successive cross-sections is used to create a shifting remapping of the guitar’s output that is dependent upon the nonlinear progression of the work.
