about

When poor oxygen blood cells is carried back to the heart in the veins, it reduces the blood flow in the arteries and causes a drop in sensation in parts of human body. After being freshly oxygenated, the arteries circulate the blood throughout the body, wake it up from the numbness and bring it back to normal state. Blood Flow, written for piano and live electronics, tries to sonically sketch out the feeling of the numbness and tingling when sensation fades away, as well as the feeling when the oxygenated blood is circulated back through each vein to wake up every single part of the body. With this concept, I think of the sound of the piano as the blood that flows inside the body. Different techniques of synthesis and signal processing in Max/MSP are used to manipulate the sound of the piano in real time. In other words, I use computer to "oxygenate" and "circulate" the acoustic sound again and again in many different ways.
