Pisces

Description: Recording of Jukka Ruohomäki's Pisces. The sound texture of this piece is exceptionally dense and compounds over one hour of mixed concrete and electronic sounds into six minutes. Some of the materials were originally made for a radio play in which people go through very painful experiences which finally transform them into fish.

Polyfonium

Description: Recording of Lucien Goethals's Polyfonium. This is a mobile electroacoustic composition consisting of 4 independent layers that must be superimposed ad libitum during the listening even if the piece is in a concert hall. By varying the modes of superposition, one obtains a different version each time without the general character of the piece changing. It is also possible to make reduced versions, that is to say, by superimposing two or three layers only. Such achievements will then give less c… more

Relazioni-trasformazioni

Description: Recording of Albert Mayr's Relazioni-transformazioni. “Relationships-Transformations” is part of a series of works that are based on the TIME-ASPECTS text and thus start from the same basic hypothesis: highlighting the relationships that come into being between various sound events - or even visual, theatrical – in function of relationships between their organizations in time and subjective transformations - of such events that occur during the operation. This hypothesis is carried on with the … more

Simple Electronic Symphony

Description: Recording of Miroslav Bázlik's Simple Electronic Symphony. This piece is arranged into four rather independent parts: Sonata, Cantus firmus, Madrigal and Ciaccona, designations of which reveal the author's effort to make the cyclic form of a symphony. The polarity of traditional and unconventional can be found also in the use of vocal or pre-composed material in a variety of transformations by studio means so that the cycle loses neither homogeneity nor tension.

Skelelemedania

Description: Recording of Hal Freedman's Skelelemedania. This piece falls into three sections; the first and third combine live and tape sounds, and the second is for tape alone. The piece as a whole represents an expansion of the middle tape section. The more purely electronic layers were composed to complement or contrast with the vocal elements. The first and third sections make use of tape echo and delay systems. The timing of the repetitions allow the delay to be heard not as feedback but as a continuo… more

Slow Field

Description: Recording of Stephen Montague's Slow Field. The primary sound was recorded from a toy organ and altered by means of filters, etc. The work employs heterodyning (using an electronic circuit to combine an input radio frequency with one that is generated in order to produce new frequencies) and the use of vari-speed near the end.

Solipsismo

Description: Recording of Bruno D'Auzon's Solipsismo. This work combines a finished text (in Portuguese) and its relation to a musical context. The composer has tried to combine the movement between sounds and speech, a poetic language without concern for meaning and in which sound objects or musical phrases may more easily support a concept or an image than words. The piece is divided into five parts, with the middle part playing a relaxing role where the theme is no longer human language.

Solitude of Sounds

Description: Last October while thinking about a composition I was to realize in the Columbia-Princeton Studio I spent a lot of time in my room listening to distant noises coming in through a half-open window. It was a seemingly disordered mixture of the street hubbub, signals of the river ships, and the distant thunder of planes. After some time I had an impression of all these noises being alive and perhaps even conscious of their existence; it seemed as it they wanted to speak. United into one whole and … more

Sonic Landscape No. 3

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Sonic Landscape No. 3. This work was created for four computer-synthesized soundtracks. This piece is intended to create a sound environment that surrounds the listener and envelopes them in an acoustic space of changing dimensions. Most of the sound structures used in this composition are synthesized with the P0D7 program for non-real-time synthesis.

Suburban nights

Syntagmes

Description: Recording of Francis Dhomont's Syntagmes. This work obeys a double concern: formal rigor and vagrancy of the imagination. Seemingly contradictory proceedings, they are inspired by linguistic mechanisms which - within the limits of a code - allow innumerable discoveries.

Ta Foneenta

Description: Recording of Iván Patachich's Ta Foneenta. The base of the work forms a mathematical series. The sound material of the work consists of vowels, synthetic sounds, and Morgenstern's poem "The Great Lalula." The construction of the work is two-channel and panoramic and constructed spatial movement are also often used. Sound units present in the molded parts are microstructures. The work has a so-called bridge shape, so the eleventh molding is a variation and mirror image of the first part, the ten… more

Telesuono Hologram

Description: After an intense period of analog familiarization with the range and enormity of available sounds extraterrestrially and in nature, I tried the only techniques then available to me, tape manipulation and speaker placements. The only coloration that I employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs. I have always monitored from nearly neutral sensors, and my interest has been in trading, configuring and juxtapositionings and in the presentation of… more

Un Tiempo, Un Lugar

Description: Recording of Jorge Rapp's Un Tiempo, Un Lugar. This piece was composed in the composer's studio and CICMAT. This work reflects dramatic moments of the Argentine history during the decade of the 70's. It was composed from electronic sounds and acoustic sounds of instrumental origin and social environment, processed in the laboratory of the CICMAT and in own studio. The acoustic sounds inhabit with melodic rhythmic impulses of electronic origin, fusing or contrasting between them. It consists … more

Tramos

Description: Recording of Eduardo Bértola's Tramos for tape. The piece was made from two sound sources: radio broadcasts and direct recordings of popular events. These materials were structured by simple juxtaposition excluding the mixes and any kind of development of the original sound. It is therefor a purely horizontal structure in which we note the union of fragments of hard edge, perfectly delimited, similar to that used in some works of North American Pop Art. In this way, Bértola expresses his own po… more

Tu viens chéri(e)

Description: Recording of Bernard Heidsieck's Tu viens chéri(e). The composer recorded 5 men and 5 women saying the sentence "Tu viens, chéri(e)" 150 times in a row and then combined this recording with mixed tape. The tape is stereo, with the women at the beginning on one track and the men on another, until all voices are together on both tracks. The entire piece represents a verbal orgasm with an unexpected phenomenon of more panic in each voice than of tenderness.
