Description

Recording of James Dashow's Conditional Assemblies, quadrophonic work. Conditional Assemblies is based on three groups of five pitches, each group having one pitch in common with the other two. At the beginning of the piece each group
is given a characteristic timbre and textural treatment, and the rest of the work develops, mixes and transforms the pitch-
timbre-procedure relationships. The work is in two major sections each of which consists of two overlapping subsections. Conditional Assemblies was commissioned by the Biennale di Venezia for the 1980 music festival and realized at
the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale of the Universita' di Padova. As usual, I was using Barry Vercoe's MUSIC360,
and it was during work on this piece that I began to expand that program to meet my particular needs. Conditional Assemblies received 2nd prize at the Bourges Festival in 1981.
