The Acoustic Painter

Description: Like colours, the sounds are composed using a keybord like brush and time like canvas. The work has two parts: first the painter freely paints an abstract subject and second he compose a defined subject. This work was originally composed for voices, bassoon and tape but this is the unique realization. The sounds were generated using additive, frequency modulation, ring modulation synthesis and sampling.

Across the Evening Sky

Description: "Across the Evening Sky" consists of sustained, slowly changing sonorities and pedal figures which gradually evolve across a variety of registers, densities and intensities. Formal cohesion is achieved via a process akin to isorhythm, wherein large-scale repetitions occur at varying rates, thus resulting in ever-changing juxtapositions of material. The composition was realized at the computer music studio of Northwestern University in the winter and spring of 1987, and received its premiere at … more

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. The score of the composition is a dense and modulated sound characterized by carefully controlled phase relationships. 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

Action/Passion

Description: Recording of Annette Vande Gorne's Action/Passion. It is the result of a close collaboration where choreography and music were designed in interaction. The work is inspired by inner energy and its manifestation: movement. During the show, the dynamic movements of the sounds unfold in the space thanks to a spatialized interpretation. Music and dance play on very contrasting energies such as breaths, fluids, attack/immobility, attack/movement, rebounds, journeys, falls, crushing, rotations, oscil… more

Acuerdor por Differencia

Description: Picture yourself travelling at ease on the train. As you look through the window, you notice the power cables, which run parallel to the tracks. As your eyes follow them, they seem to turn giving the impression of a volume that gently and continuously rotates as it changes shape. This flow seems to accelerate before being momentaneously interrupted by the posts that hold them at more or less regular distances; this is immediately followed by the previous soft change as you recapture the perspe… more

Adagio

Description: Recording of Raoul de Smet's Adagio. For this work the composer had proposed harmony and relaxation "before anything else.” From there, a slow and steady tempo and very simple form. The sound material is provided by twelve ordinary sound generators. The work begins with a chord in the treble, slowly emerging from the silence or void sound and sustained by a regular pulsation in the bass, the result of differential sounds. Then several new sounds are added while others change timbre, octave, or … more

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

El Adios

Description: A very short but important piece. It was the last composition produced in our old studio (the one offered by the Di Tella Institute that you visited at CICMAT in 1974). The pointillistic piece and its editing is done exclusively by means of tape bonding and sounds from the Arpe 2600. Pozzati, in my opinion, is our best talent. He made his song as a farewell to the old studio which is now replaced by two NeXT machines. He is now one of the people working with the new programs at LISP, in use wit… more

Adventus

Description: Recording of Milan Slavicky's Adventus. The main source of inspiration for this composition was a Czech liturgical tune from Renaissance times which used to be sung during Advent. Its unusual melodic form and great poetic quality inspired a bow-formed composition which uses mostly different vocal phrases of this song, an imitation of an organ sound and finally a tower bell transposed into lower and lower register.

Aegror

Description: Recording of Alfonso Belfiore's Aegror, a composition for computer made in 12 voices grouped in three channels. Two generating forces are at the basis of the development of the work, where one tends to the stratification (process also identifiable in the structure of the same sound) of the sound materials in massified and crystallized events, the other, contrary presence, tends, in the disintegration of these structures, to the restitution of a perceptible individuality to each layer up to the … more
