Hoquetus by Marco "uBiK" Bonini
In music, hocquetus is the rhythmic linear technique using the alternation of notes, pitches, or chords. In medieval practice, a single melody is shared between two (or occasionally more) voices such that alternately one voice sounds while the other rests. In European music, hoquetus was used primarily in vocal and choral music of the 13th and early 14th centuries. It was a predominant characteristic of music of the Notre Dame school, during the ars antiqua, in which it was found in sacred vocal music and string compositions.This is a computerized version of this technique, an hybrid of ancient method with modern timbres.
uBiK is a solo project by Marco Bonini - avant-jazz trained guitarist, inspired by hypnagogic ambient music. His primary source materials are real time processed field recordings and filtered electric guitars using softwares such as Ableton Live and Max/Msp. He uses a wide array of guitar sounds to create a highly textural intense music, taking cues from drone, noise and musique concrete.
