Adagio

Description: Adagio is, as the title suggests, cast very much in the tradition of the late-Romantic symphonic slow movement, with its carefully measured pacing combined with a dramatic use of weight and drive. In particular, Adagio has a special relationship with the slow movements of Mahler's symphonies, this relationship being present at different levels and to different degrees at various points in the piece, ranging from the use of generally expressive gestures to explicit 'quotations' (particularly fro… more

Anamorphées

Description: "Anamorphées" was made entirely from a single instrument (saxophone) of five seconds, processed in computer delayed time. The basic instrumental sequence is presented, isolated before the play for the jury. The use of a reduced original material makes it possible to carry out a real "genetic" work of sound and musical development where each stage of treatment is an opening towards other possible ones. From mutations to successive mutations, the resulting sound objects are diversified, progressi… more

Anguish in Lebanon

Description: In this piece, the digitally constructed voices, 13th root of 3.14 tuning and distorted piano all combine to create a sonic field at first curious and finally frightening. It is the composer's intention to bring to mind not only the anguish of interminable war but the ambiguities of life for those whose mother country is so afflicted.

Before the Sea of Glass

A myriad of diverse creatures united in the same act of worship: a scene at o… more

...black it stood as night

Description: This piece is a band-only version of "The Other Shape", for a percussionist and band, whose composition was screened mainly on antinomies. Between the short and the long, by example; short and resonant sound; the dry and the reverberated, or the lying down; the continuity of silence or holding, opposed to the explosion brutal and ephemeral percussive sounds, etc. Like in many others pieces, this dialectic had led me to a form typically segmented and punctuated, simple and bare. These antitheti… more

Description: For four channel computer synthesised tape. This is a stereo version. This work was composed at CCRMA (1985), Stanford University, using the Samson Box digital synthesizer and the programs to control it written by Bill Schottstead.

Cantus

Description: After my first experiences in musique concrète, and even more so, when I started using the computer for music composition, I wanted to be able to compose the sound material , as I composed the structures when I wrote "notes" for instrumentalists. Our first researches, from 1976 (by means of a microprocessor that we had procured for ourselves), were done in this direction: to put the sound matter in memory and to fragment it so that it became "reflowable". The microprocessor of this era providin… more

Caroselli

Description: This is a fun piece and should be enjoyed by both the instrumentalists and the audience. The idea of the work is obvious from the name, "Carousel". Labels run our lives – who, what, where we are and so forth. Minimalism, Maximalism, Expressionist, traditional. All these labels have different meanings according to who is listening. Not mentioning the importance of where the listener is from. This piece should be listened to, and not labeled. It is conceived fro the Electro-Acoustic Concert Envir… more

Chants Magnétiques

Description: Thoughts come tumbling in, unordered and often without any connection with the composition no which you are working. This was also the case during the time I was composing my Ritournelles for soprano and computer. A flood of material and studies came into existence which could not be fit into my Ritournelles. From out this material resulted in my piece "Chants Magnétiques" on January 20th, 1985 in two hours by writing a command string at a high tempo and reading it into my MIDIM system on the P… more

Chromatonal

The music contains twelve sections, each of increasing length - the first is 10 seconds, the second is 20, the third is 30, etc. Each section concentrates on a particular interval and is punctuated by a "spatial" sound. The sections alternate between melodic and harmonic textures. Pitch classes are devised up into two groups as follows: Group I – a-flat(8), g-flat(6), b-flat(10), d(2), d-flat(1); Group II – e-… more

Contrepoint

Description: The different harmonic parts are gradually faded, in favor of masses of stamps that contrast in height. Micro-events punctuate them.The rhythmic part that follows is based on a new series, which in turn goes down to silence (13 ''). New micro-events occur and reappear the first series which in turn allows the melodic line to reappear. Melodic line that is fixed with a double, out of order, and which will gradually highlight its own variations that interact with natural sounds (voices and laught… more

Conversation

Description: This work was composed in 1985. It uses voices recorded in Japan and Thailand, hence the title of "Conversation", although the voices are generally used in a more musical than semantic way. The instruments respond to these voices in different ways during the course of the work, which also gives it a conversational character. This work can be considered as a continuation of "Orchestra" and "Ten Temperaments" in that the image of the sounds resumes the orchestra like a prototype. The recordings o… more

Corale quasi una fantasia

Description: "Corale quasi une fantasia" (or more correctly "Fantasia quasi une corale") was composed in July 1985 at the Electronic Music Studio in Cologne. My goal was less to compose a "work" or a "piece", than to do ten minutes that I would like, and if possible that you would like too.

Cuenca

Description: The result of a long stay in the city of Cuenca during the summer of 1985 and a reflection of various experiences. In the first place, the influence of the city and its impressive landscape is undeniable. In addition, I wanted to pay a cryptic tribute to the writer Villiers de L'Isle-Adam: his short story The secret of ancient music, which is part of his cruel tales, awakened in me the fascination for this unusual an instrument of the nineteenth century called "Chinese hat", fascination that le… more
