My name is Marcelo F. Lazcano, I am originally from Chile. I have been a guitar player for a long time -mainly a combination of trash/metal, progressive rock, and Chilean folkrock- and at some point during my late 20's I was bitten by the contemporary art music bug, so now I am a Ph.D. student in composition at the University of California, San Diego where I get to explore not only contemporary art music, but also the possibilities of incorporating my background into the art music world.

Interests

As a composer I am interested in Spectral music, the acoustic properties of performance spaces, and how they can be incorporated into music. Of course this has been done -officially- for almost 40 years, so my personal challenge is how to mix and balance this technique/ art form with my Chilean musical background. also I believe in music and arts as being part of science; with this in mind I'd like to say that I'm intrigued by the acoustics properties of sound and the psychological aspect of performance and perception.

As a guitar player, I like to experiment with alternate tunings and bi-tones; the tones that are produce in the string between the finger(s) and the nut. I am currently working on a project to map -regular- harmonics and those harmonics produced in the bi-tone area.

Project for this class

I'm interested in writing a piece for a Soprano singer. The plan involves recording the piece, then transform the recording via PD or Max and have the singer perform along with the altered tracks; this is the first part. The second part involves a video production, with the same singer, which will be projected during the piece. Then on week one I saw the room with multiple projectors which I think is ideal for what I have in mind. Although there would be no audience, it could make for a great documented performance (like a music video). The last aspect of this piece, which I think is the most complex, is the possibility of creating a piece in which this piece would be adapted for dancers and singer. For example, the dancers would be in Germany and they would interact/ react to the projected image of the singer - the idea is to do this live through telematics - and vice versa, the singer here would react to the projected images of the dancers. Of course there should be a choreography or a central theme ( I was thinking in the lines of Edgar Allan Poe ). As I mentioned in my interests, I'm very interested in the psychological aspects of music and performance from the point of view of the performers; the fact that neither side can experience the physical properties of each other's venues opens the door for an experimentation in psychology.
