Musical Sculpture [after Duchamp] is for 8 to [infinity] electric guitars or for 1 electronic guitar and 8-channel electronics

Composer: Fredrick Gifford

Year of Composition: 2016
Instrumentation: electric guitar
Type of Electronics: Fixed

Number of Channels: 8

Score ResourcesRecording

To create a version of the sculpture, all 8 notated parts need to be recorded.

Each guitar has a unique scordatura and pedal setup.

Each part contains 52 measures that are to be played at the indicated tempo (including rests appearing within these parts).

For a version with a live performance component, additional layers may be performed simultaneously with the playback of the recorded parts.
In a live performance, the recorded layers should be played from unique locations as is possible.
