Act of Opening

Description: "Act of Openings" is a stereo composition made with Moog analog synthesis modules. Composed in 1968, its duration is 17'27.

All the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the piece derive energy from a long, brilliant sound. Each part of the room is another glimpse of this sound, as a set of flowers form a bouquet. "Act of Openings" received the 2nd Prize at the 1969 Dartmouth Inter… more

Chant dans la Nuit

Description: Discover for me this fabulous world of electro-acoustics; this world that allows us to accurately retain the slightest gesture, to multiply the sound sources to infinity, to put things and distant sounds side by side and thus to create magical worlds of unheard-of expressiveness.

Combinaisons en cercles

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's Combinaisons en cercles. It is a version at the request of Partita Radicale with a new timbral guise. The work is coceived in three different layers of sound. The surface, representing everyday (diurnal) consciousness, consists of brief and fleeting timbral events almost invariably played forte. A somewhat subdued middle layer provides semiconscious recollections and anticipations of the overall timbral fabric. The deepest layer is made up of complex static sound… more

Concentric. A question with two answers.

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's "Concentric. A question with two answers." for instrumental ensemble and tape. The piece is a reaction to Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question," which is, in comparison, schizoid in nature, marked by breach, discord, disparity and incommunicability. There are three layered music layers in "Concentric" which join together to create a kind of communion that is timeless through the use of resonant harmonic issued by a fundamental sound C, placed in the deepest regist… more

Dialogos 1

Description: Recording of Francisco Kropfl's Dialogos 1. This work uses complexes of short of electronic sounds with long reverberations of the round 10 seconds each, thanks to the natural reverberation chamber build at the studio at that time. The name of the piece relates to the "dialog" between the long transparent sounds obtained through the aforementioned procedure and the original electronic pulses.

Doppelrohr II

Description: Recording of Bengt Hambraeus' Doppelroho II. The title indicates that Hambraeus has used as his basic material the range of tones produced by an organ. In this work timbral manipulation becomes a new compositional element. The importance of the organ is immediately established not only in its exclusive use, but as one of the most effective timbral fillers of the gap between live and electronic music.
