kristallisation I

The loops differed in pitch and were arranged in chromatic order so that the 'lowest' loop extended from E1 to Dis1 and the 'highest' one from E1 to Dis2. Then from the… more

Ling

Description: Recording of Maggi Payne's Ling, st/quad with photomicrographic slides. Major concerns of the work are spatial location and modulation and timbral complexity. Processes involved include extensive multi-tracking in order to build up textures, and to keep four tracks consistently separated throughout the process of composing. By pre-mixing and relaying of pre-mixed tracks I frequently use up to thirty-six tracks, finally mixing down in both quad and stereo formats. Ling was composed using the Mo… more

Love in the Asylum

Description: Recording of Michael Mac Nabb's Love in the Asylum. Love in the Asylum is a love song to the calculated insanity and spontaneous magic that one must sometimes call upon in order to live in this strange universe of ours. It features an orchestra of familiar instrumental and vocal sounds, new sounds drawn from the imagination, and---perhaps most expressively---sounds that fluidly shift between the two. The work is built of two psychological layers. Foremost is a layer of cheerful confidence and e… more

Oboe

Description: Recording of Ulrich Suesse's Oboe. There are basically two considerations for the application of tape 2 :1) It can be a source of inspiration during the performance and/or 2) It can be a source for "overloading" the piece, bringing it near the breaking point. Its actual application (or non application) depends on the intention of the performer. An existing version of tape 2 can be used or a new, unique, completely unknown version can be created: a copy of tape 1 is to be used as the source mat… more
