Seaside Dream
For solo vibraphone & live electronics
Duration: 8-9 minutes
About
Seaside Dream was inspired by a quiet evening in Morocco, looking out over the sea as the sun cast its last light across the water. The gentle movement of the waves and the sparkling reflections became the foundation of this music. The piece is written for solo vibraphone with live electronics, blending acoustic sound with shimmering effects that mirror the calm, radiant atmosphere of that moment.
Technical information & disclaimer
This score comes with an Ableton Live 12 project file. To perform the piece, you will need:
Ableton Live 12 (https://www.ableton.com)
Convolution Reverb by Ableton (free download)
Crystallizer by Soundtoys (paid) – used for the reversed delay effect. You may also use a different plugin with a similar reversed echo/delay sound.
Important disclaimer:
This purchase does not include a tutorial on working with live electronics. Performing Seaside Dream requires experience with Ableton Live and basic knowledge of routing and effects. If you are unfamiliar with this, I recommend only buying the score if you are ready to explore and learn on your own.
I am currently preparing a tutorial course on live electronics and percussion, which will also explain the setup for this piece in detail. To stay up to date, you can subscribe to my newsletter at dominiquetalkspercussion.com.
