Play bach

Description: Recording of Mayako Kubo's Play bach for eight channel tape. Play Bach is mainly based on two elements: first, there is no fixed form and no fixed duration because the composition consists in a mobile-system; second, the sound material uses only the tones B (Si-flat), A (La), C (Do), and H (Si) in different octaves performed by three instruments and with the letters B, A, C, and H spoken with human voice. Because the eight tracks are combined using a mobile system, each performance presents dif… more

Polymorphous Polychromy

Description: Recording of Chiaki Takatsuki's Polymorphous Polychromy. In this work I refer to the sound of the airplane as an assemblage of point of sound. Each point has only one height and is of short duration. These granules, without number, become the color of sound. Each plane has different speeds and multiple directions. This piece was created at the EISM in Tokyo, Japan.

Spermanence

Description: This work uses, with rudimentary means, the fixed qualities of a piano sound sampled by the lack of an AKAI factory. Despite a rather hollow sound that I sought in this sonata to give a field of expression quite extended to the possibilities of putting in play offered by the computer. The piece is in three movements, essentially based on the deployment of an initial agreement. At any moment, I voluntarily appealed to a rhetorical break of form, an appeal to our routed memory, to become, and ye… more

Sub Rosa

Description: Recording of Rolf Gehlhaar's Sub Rosa, four-channel electronic music on tape. This composition is based upon an examination of the physical interaction of various types of sound signals. Its structure and organization emerge primarily from the totality of these subsurface interactions. The fundamental process involved is that of interference patterning, brought about by a very slight but repeated variable phase shifting of a signal with respect to itself or by superposing many frequencies that … more

Terpsichore

Description: Recording of Otto Laske's Terpsichore. The piece is in three movements. The first movement is followed by a set of variations of an equally percussive but more song-like nature. The initial two movements have in common extremely fast, often acoustically minute, streams of sound. In contrast, the third movement is overall slower in pace and more song-like. Throughout, the musical flow is punctuated by silences. It is a work of great contrasts of density, registers, and dynamics that owes its tit… more

Tertiary colours

Description: Recording of Paul Dolden's Tertiary colours. The piece was composed using three individual sound types: inharmonic rhythmic sequences, harmonic and semi-clangorous glissandi, and widely voiced harmonic motifs. The three sound types appear as separate contrapuntal lines or as a single fused timbre. The title arises from the sections in which two of the thee sound types merge into one timbre or colour, "tertiary colours" being a term used in painting for a colour which is produced by mixing two s… more

Description: Recording of Andrew Newell's "The thin edge of the wedge." This is the first piece in a triptych of pieces. It is orchestrated for seven electronic instruments, which were realized on a Buchla 200 series synthesizer. The concept behind the music concerns itself with man's position in the world today, which the composers sees as a very dangerous one, with possible self-destruction close at his heels. This piece is as one voice "crying in the wilderness," not meant to soothe, but to alert his fel… more
