Pourquoi t'as jeté ta pantoufle?

Description: Recording of Xavier Garcia's "Pourquoi t'as jeté ta pantoufle?" ("Why did you throw your slipper?").

Quadratwellenklangwurst

Description: Recording of Martin Sierek's Quadratwellenklangwurst. The piece is based on micro-intervals through the use of square-wave oscillations. These exact intervals were only achievable with a digital rectangle generator. In the composition, the higher pitched parts of the two harmonies are fed to the cohesive basic tones and a whole sound becomes a glittering sound spectacle. The intervals and the number of individual rectangles constantly increase during the composition and generate acoustic phenom… more

Son recif

Description: Recording of Jacqueline Ozanne's "Son recif" for voice and tape.
