The Exotica Album (Study score)
Øyvind Torvunds The Exotica Album er et fargesprakende møte mellom 50-60-tallets «exotica»-tradisjon og moderne eksperimentell musikk - der Les Baxter møter Stockhausen, og John Zorn titter innom.
Verket kombinerer varme melodier, elektroniske klanger og fri fantasi i en musikalsk collage som både hyller og utfordrer sine forbilder.
Et verk fullt av humor, energi og oppdagelseslyst - nå utgitt på Norsk Musikkforlag.

The Exotica Album
for sinfonietta and modular synth/noise performers & optional improvising tenor saxophonist.
Modular Synth / Electronic Noise Performance
Performers follow a combination of verbal and graphic instructions. The setup centers on a modular synthesizer with spring reverb, delay, and distortion effects. The performance may involve multiple players, with one or more musicians dedicated to controlling and shaping the effects.
Improvising Soloist
In Wind Up Paradise Birds, Waking Up Again, Cave, and the introduction of Jungle Alarm, a jazz/improvising saxophone soloist is required. The performer can use the recorded version of the album (Hubro, 2019) as a reference point for their improvisation.
