CrossOver for violin and electronics

I am currently in the beginning stages of writing a piece for violin and electronics. As of now, I have about 2 minutes of the piece completed. It opens with a violin solo: long held pitches interspersed with quick, jagged gestures. The music is parsed into phrases that are separated by spoken syllables. Eventually the electronics will enter with textures created solely from samples of the performer’s voice, essentially accompanying the violinist while he/she further expaexpands the ideas from the opening.
