Description

"...als ob’s aus dunklen Fernen rief..." ("as if it was calling from dark remotenesses") was produced as a commission of the Hungarian Film Factory MAFILM in the Electronic Music Studio of the Hungarian Radio Budapest in March/April 1984. The title comes from the poem "Alone with the sea" by the Hungarian poet Endre Ady, which inspired my composition: remembrances that emerge from the eternal roaring of the sea. The time structure of the composition was derived from the Fibonacci-Progression 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,377,610. The total duration of the piece is 610 seconds.

In the studio a MOOG-Synthesizer (Moog III) with two keyboards and two sequencers was available. In the first week I explored its possibilities and determined eight different sound materials. Then I composed the single layers. The first material is coloured noise, from which gradually the other seven materials emerge: frequency modulated sounds, noisy tones, tone sequences and so on. In this way I created a continuum with similar sounds in always new constellations. The eight different materials were recorded one after the other on an Eight-Track-Tape-Recorder and then mixed to a stereophonic version.
