Abstract
Displaced Light, for six instruments and live electronics is an exercise in the use of microsound in a live context, realised through an environment for real time granulation built in Max. The electroacoustic part and the acoustic part have been integrated from the beginning of the composition process through structural frameworks informed by the application of microsound. The electroacoustic part has been notated and related to the acoustic part through the application of a system of graphical notation created specifically for the composition. The sound of the acoustic instruments is always to some degree perceivable, however remotely, in the electroacoustic material
