Self Composing Orchestra


If Vangelis is right in saying that music comes from somewhere or is already there and all we have to do is just be ready...


Is it possible...


For orchestra musicians to just play (compose) without the need of a score (paranoid black dots - Hatzidakis)? This does not mean anarchy. On the contrary the musicians should be at or greater level than a conductor having for example understood and use in practice Bach Bass Rules - Bach, Neidt.


To record such orchestra near a quiet outdoor places, eg near forest with a stereo printed ribbon microphone such as Fostex? Possibly the only microphones delicate night to extract detail yet urged enough for ribbons to survive outdoors.


And feeding the stereo mic to an analog Uher reel to reel such as Uher 4200 stereo battery powered?


It is still is hard work. Carrying the mic, the 2-3Kg recorder the BASF 1/4 tape, instruments, chairs, sesame snacks or whatever healthy...


How would it sound like?


It could be any instruments.

P.S.


Would Vangelis Papathanasiou music research foundation assist in this direction?



P.S.2


If it won't sound right it can always be done with a mic for each instrument.
