Luminescence

Description: The basic idea for Luminescence is revealed by the opening sound, an F above middle C, which is modified by a filter that moves from a point above the second harmonic to about the sixth harmonic and back with a speed that starts slowly (at zero), increases up to a moderate rate of speed, and then decreases to the original point. This creates a "shimmering" effect that suggested the title to me. Each tone in the composition undergoes similar spectral changes, produced by moving a filter from one… more

Lusic

Description: Produced in 1985 at the Gennevilliers School of Music (France). Lusic is a fairly fast, dynamic, very exteriorized work. As the title might suggest, it is a playful attitude to sounds and music that has been the creative engine of the work. The choice of morphologies and sound dynamics took place on an extremely wide range, ranging from very long frames to very slow variations, up to very small acute shocks, with many intermediaries. which allows a great variety of energies and speed. As for th… more

La Luz

Description: Produced in 1985 in the Studio of the Regional Music Workshop of Lens, this diptych seeks an original use of the UPIC, at a time when the users of the "composing machine of Iannis Xenakis" did not yet have the current means speed calculations, implemented subsequently, in the device. Musically, "The luz" consists of two pieces, "Luz" and "Las doradas manzanas del sol" (the golden apples of the sun). "Luz" is made up of two families of sound sequences: those that approach the noise, producing in… more

Luz Caterpilar

Description: In writing this piece for piano and tape, I have intended to articulate a process of transformation similar to that which constitutes the life cycle of lepidopterae (butterflies and moths). Just as the caterpillar stage of this insects represents the longest span in the cycle, so does my works concentrate on a gradual assembling (by both instruments) of a number of segmental rhythmic motives into distinct sound objects, which form - as it were- the "larvae" of the piece. The rhythmic process is… more

Maikafer Flieg

Description: In my composition "cockchafer, fly", I used some historical sound documents as a starting point and to allow associations of ideas for a musical development throughout the piece. The title of the composition is drawn from a children's song whose text expresses the sad situation after the first and the second world wars: "Cockchafer, fly, your father is the war, your mom is in Pom'ranie, Pomerania is destroyed by the flames, Cockchafer, fly. " Towards the end of the composition, this song will… more

Maze

Description: Maze is the first part of an evening long multi-media work commissioned by the Bohus County Council and Musik i Väst. It is planned for a Nordic Arts Festival in Göteburg in 1989, with choreography by Biörn Elisson and stage design by Kjell Åhslund. This is an electro-acoustic work including both authentic instrumental sounds and fragments of song and vocal sounds from Kerstin Ståhl. The idea is to link up this mucis with a species of "sculptured scenes" without any real dramatic content, and a… more

Metabyzantinirikon

Description: METABYZANTINIRIKON (1985), the variant for violin and tape, is approaching the superposed musical times and spaces, which are in an ecstatic, hieratic state. This state results from the “betrothal” of times and l i n e a r spaces on the tape (in a synthesis, a symbiosis of the discontinuously agitated time, out of the medium register, with the slow one, in a continuous evolution, out of the deep and high registers) with the s p i r a l (open circular) ones of the violin, facing the angelic, … more

La Mort de Roland

Description: In 1985 the School of Music at the University of Auckland bought a Yamaha DX7 synthesiser. New to the musical world at the time, this machine made computer synthesis by frequency modulation available on a portable keyboard, and rapidly became one of the most popular synthesisers to be used by all sorts of musicians. In our studio at the time our main synthesiser was the modular analogue Roland System 700, many of whose functions were to be usurped by the newcomer with its MIDI capabilities. Th… more

Music for Viola, Cello, and Tape

Description: Music for Viola, Cello, and Tape was written and premiered in Paris in 1985. This work brings together two extremely different aspects of my musical experience: improvisational music and music involving computers. These two musical domains, representing intuition and rationale - opposites yet complements - hold a great deal of interest for me. This trio explores the interactions among three soloists, one being a tape of computer-generated sounds; in which no part plays a secondary role. The two… more

Mutacion II

Description: The basic idea of the piece consists of transformations of various sound structures made of periodic rhythms and delimited heights and others built with "free" rhythms and preferentially undetermined heights. From the middle of the room and then one of these variable-pitch and indeterminate sound structures takes on importance and on the end supports development. This criterion between fixed and indeterminate pulsation and height is also followed in the spatial organization. Several sound struc… more

Next pièce no. 1

Description: This piece was made at the IPEM studios in Ghent on November 1985. This work has a clear and noticeable construction, based on the proportion 2:3:5. The total duration is divided into three parts according to this proportion: the parts' durations are 3', 2', and 3'. These parts are subdivided according the same proportions, taking into account the possible symmetries starting from 2:3:5. The sounds used are similar: each sound is deduced from the original sound. The sounds are placed in polypho… more

Ogni Pensiero Vola

Description: The starting point of the piece was given by the visit of the "Monsters Park", a grotesque sculpture garden near Viterbo in Italy that was created at the end of the sixteenth century by Pier Francesco Orsini, Duke of Bomarzo. The title of the piece is an inscription engraved on one of the sculptures, a giant monster head with a gaping mouth that is known as "the mouth of the devil" or "the dragon". The inscription seems in resonance with its meaning in a mysterious, inexplicable way and the wor… more

One for the Ladies – Unicorns-Magicats-Lovers

Description: There were several ladies involved with this work: My second daughter was born during its composition and my first daughter introduced me to the Unicorns and Magicats which compromise the first two sections of the work. Each of the three overlapping sections: Unicorns, Magicats and Lovers, were all pictured in my mind and feminine in nature. The composition makes use of an abundance of female "voice-like" timbres and lastly, but most important, the work is composed for and dedicated to the danc… more

The Other Shape

Description: The Other Shape is largely based on contradictions. Between the short and the long, for example. The short sound and the resonant. The dry and the reverberated, or the lengthened. The continuity of silence or holding, opposed to the brutal and ephemeral explosion of percussive sounds. As in many other plays, this dialectic has led me to a typically segmented and punctuated, simple and bare form. For its realization, I had recourse to many programs of composition, acting either at the level of … more
