Transit of Venus – Seth Josel, electric guitar

 

Program Notes
Back in June 2004 much of the world saw the planet Venus drift between the Earth and the face of the sun. What a sight it was! This piece is inspired by the sense of scale, complexity and majesty of that event using one live guitarist interacting with four computer generated virtual guitarists.
