Electra for electric violin and live electronics was commissioned by Victoria Johnson and premiered by her at the Autunnale festival in 2003. The computer programming is by Thorolf Thuestad. Video by Ellen Røed (read more: [ Ссылка ]). All the sounds in the piece are coming directly from the violinists action on stage, even the very low sub-frequencies. This is made possible by the programming of Max/MSP, in combination with the pure musical ideas, and frequent use of a "low tech" fuzz box. The work is a dramatic dialogue between the computer and the violin, with the former stealing energy in real time from the violinist, who has to fight back in order to maintain the focus of the musical dramaturgy.
