Keith Hamel: TOUCH (2012) is a composition for piano, interactive computer processing and gesture tracking of the pianist's hands by Keith Hamel. The work explores bells of all shapes, sizes and colors to create an evocative soundscape of real and imaginary bells. As with many of my recent compositions, Touch is inspired by spectral analysis of bell sounds, and it is these re-constituted bell timbres that form much of the harmonic content of the composition. I wanted to create a colorful and imaginative sound world without an overtly dramatic sensibility. Rather, Touch is delicate and expressive, and explores a wide range of subtle colors and textures.
