Fo-low is contemporary music piece composed for bass flute, accordion, cello and electronics. Each of the acoustic instruments masters a musical parameter of a so-called virtual meta-instrument, based on subtractive synthesis (comb filter), of which:
- the pitch is given by the bass flute (where the name of the piece derived from)
- the intensity is given by the cello
- the base-spectrum is given by the accordion
A fourth amplitude modulation comes from the spatialization of partials of the meta-instrument, since it is spread out by an octophonic loudspeakers system. The compositional space is defined by meta instrument. Every voice is thought in a way that of the combination of the three, sets up itself a virtual score: that of meta instrument.
