Là où Mène le Monde...

Description: The initial idea was to make a piece only on and through Fairlight, via the Musice Composer Language (MCL). He had, indeed, just made his appearance in the studio. So I hung my feet, like many others, in the whole process of learning, from the linguistic difference of the instruction books to the time of experimentation or "taming". He had finally seriously amputated my bank of studio hours, and I had only three minutes of realized ... the machine had me: Well disappointed, to reorient the shot… more

Description: The work was originally composed as part of a large musical project "Soundscape" (soundscape) for the exhibition "Music" at the Noorköping Art Museum in 1982. The exhibition occupied five galleries and included paintings from a number of artists who had been inspired by the music. Some of them started with general impressions of music, others described specific works from Mozart to Coltrane and Glass, and others have done their work by applying musical systems. Some artists like Arnold Schoenbe… more

Palimpsest

Description: "Sound recycling" would be the perfect term for Gerald Trimmel's composition cycle called "Palimpsest". When Trimmel performed his first "Palimpsest" in 1985, he did not consider this work as a final result. The following compositions were characterized by various procedures of sound accumulations and structural rearrangements. A lot of acoustic ready mades and complex structured sound elements were inserted, which first covered up and by and by extinguished the older ones. So the shrinkin… more

Paysages PC

Description: If the music of the past was characterized by the contest between consonance and dissonance, the music of the present day is a contest between sound and noise. This percussion piece is located precisely in this intermedia area. The instrumentation is largely metallic, centering on gongs (Ching, Tching Lwo, Feng Lwo etc.) completed by a marimba. Structurally the piece develops from points (isolated, in varying density) by way of lines (aleatory distribution of glissando cymbals) to a surface. Th… more

Perhaps, at Last, Some Such Hours Passed

Description: When I was asked to write program notes, which I dislike, this is what I wrote, it still has no relevance to the piece, but it still says something... This piece is based around the number seven, being a lucky number as well as not belonging to the Fibonacci series. All decisions in this piece revolve around this number. For example, all the work on the piece was done after 7 p.m. When it became late this relationship became obscure. The piece was created employing John Chowning's FM algorithm,… more

Preguntas a mí mismo y alguien más

Description: "Questions to myself and someone else" is an approach to the current man, the individual trapped in a "big city", without time to reflect, to perceive his inner self. The work is the result of a work of contact with my internal sensations regarding the "big city" phenomenon. The three parts in which the work is divided could correspond to the three main parts in which the body is divided: head, limbs and trunk. At the same time these parts are analogous to three daily actions such as: getting u… more

Preludio No. 2

Description: Converting music gradually to the sound elements that nature gives us is the best way to enrich musical creation and man (it should be noted that nature is an instrument made of bamboo canes, a sinusoidal generator). This is how the composer understands the continual evolution.

Rising Tides of Generations Lost

Description: Drawing on women's stories handed down aurally over time, this piece uses the fundamental building blocks of language to tell the story of struggle and intolerance endured by women over centuries. This is one of Bartley's earliest pieces and it possesses the intensity and political motivation found throughout her repertoire of electroacoustic vocal compositions. Rising Tides of Generations Lost was realized at the Electronic Music Studio at McGill University in Montréal in 1985 with the Synclav… more

Ritournelles II

Description: The human voice has always fascinated me. The year of my 16 years under the spell of the great Hungarian singer Ilona Durigo, I began to write songs that were followed by compositions (1959-61: "Miracles" for soprano and 8 instruments, 1968: " Psalm 141 "for mezzo-soprano and orchestra that was played for the first time by Bruno Maderna, etc ...) In 1967, I tried to mix singing and electronic sounds; my music "The Clothes of the Demoiselle" for soprano and band got the Swiss prize. The same yea… more

The piece was reprocessed for its first performance at the Alicante Festival 1985.
