All My Friends Really Are Superheroes

All My Friends Really Are Superheroes was commissioned by Samuel Stoll, and first performed by him at Tate Britain, London, on 1st April 2011, as part of a Microtonal Projects/Late at Tate event.

The electronics involved consist of 43 samples (some of which are recordings made by Samuel Stoll, others taken from the internet), and pitch-shifts in the range +12/-12 (i.e.one octave up and one octave down). This all requires a close microphone and foot pedal e.g. Roland FC300 connected to computer. The left control pedal regulates downward pitch-shifts, the right control pedal regulates upward pitch-shifts. Samples and MaxMSP-patch are available onrequest.
