Hi,
During 1909, the young Anton Webern wrote a revolutionary collection of orchestral aphorisms, maybe a bit too undervalued today. The revolutionary content of those pieces is the same as that of the Sacre, Erwärtung, Elektra, and predates many of the experiments from Varèse (but not the early experiments of the still unknown Ives).
Webern tested the possibilities of the orchestra, going towards the limits of extreme silence and extreme noise. The boundaries between music and noise were often broken. I'm using his pieces to test my skills with the virtual orchestra, as he did with the real orchestra.
In this first effort, I used nearly all VSL SE instruments, apart for some help from a frullato flute from Xsample. There are still no muted brass, since I have still to decide on the muted brass libraries to use (I'm not convinced by VSL's muted brass, sounding a bit too jazzy). It's an ongoing project.
