Coinula Biore, by Juan Carlos Vasquez:

“Coinula Biore” for flute and electronics explores the possibilities of musical quotation/appropriation in electroacoustic music. This particular piece features a defragmentation of Luciano Berio’s Sequenza VIII for solo violin, reimagined as a flute piece. The title of the piece illustrates this process: “Coinula Biore” contains the same characters as “Luciano Berio”, however, repurposed to assume a different identity.

Flute: Katy Downs
Performed during Seamus 2019 (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the U.S) at the Berklee College of Music. March 24, 2019.
