  B-L Duo (Bertram Wee and Lynette Yeo)

Landscape: A picture representing a view of natural inland scenery.

Soundscape: An eclectic mix of musical and non-musical sounds.

Juxtaposing the windchime landscape with the sparse texture of the two keyboards, Scapes is a piece that combines these elements into a multimedia experience. The sound world is akin to a painting as it sweeps and emerges around the speakers. Scapes also incorporates digital signal processing such as modulation and filtering through MaxMSP for both the two keyboards and the windchimes. These sounds then trigger different events on the video to create various visual effects such as mixing and collage.

This work is the result of a collaboration with the B-L Duo, a new music duo that specialises in performing keyboard music that ranges from conventional two-piano setup to eccentric electronic works. They brought with them their wealth of experience working with the electronic medium, making this piece possible.
