Voyager

October 1, 2019

For ensemble and mobile devices. Also called, “The Grand Tour” based on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory poster, which was named for the Voyager missions. This piece, “Voyager,” uses data from each planet – and their moons – the voyager satellites flew by during their missions. Web audio on mobile phones allows for audience participation by using their own devices, whether a phone, tablet, or even a laptop computer. Each participating audience member is a small grain in the overall musical texture that accompanies the ensemble. To enhance the audience’s ambient texture, 3 percussionists are equally spaced surrounding the entire performance space to encapsulate the sound. The concert experience immerses the listener in complete 360-degree sound.

Composer: Jeremy Muller

Year of Composition: 2018
Instrumentation: flute, Bb clarinet, cello, piano, and 3 percussion.
Type of Electronics: Live

Number of Channels: 2
Duration: 14'
Video Component: Live

Premiered by ACME for the Music Prisms Festival 2018 at Arizona State University. The work is based on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory poster, which was named for the Voyager missions. This piece, “Voyager,” uses data from each planet – and their moons – the voyager satellites flew by during their missions. Web audio on mobile phones allows for audience participation by using their own devices, whether a phone, tablet, or even a laptop computer. Each participating audience member is a small grain in the overall musical texture that accompanies the ensemble. To enhance the audience’s ambient texture, 3 percussionists are equally spaced surrounding the entire performance space to encapsulate the sound. The concert experience immerses the listener in complete 360-degree sound. The original version of “Voyager” is for solo piano, written in 2017.
