The unmoved center

Description: Recording of Randall Smith's The unmoved center. For electronics and pre-recorded sound. This piece constitutes an analogy that traces the path of its own construction. The title evokes this shapeless place where the possible seeks to materialize, and whose structure ultimately resides outside the limits of the individual. The focus is the interplay of forces presiding over the spiritual struggles that take place inside the body as it seeks its place between the manageable and the imaginable. I… more

Virtual

Description: Recording John Young's Virtual. This work attempts to convey the idea of an illusory soundscape set in vibrant motion by the wind-an invisible source of energy for the "virtual" objects in the space. This idea extended out of fascination with the processes of making field recordings in the natural environment, using wind "noise" to take advantage of the very active stereo play it produces across a pair of microphones.

Voz Oculta

Description: Recording of José Manrique's Voz Oculta. This work uses analogue synthesis and the sound of several natural environments with real time MIDI and DSP. Gesture can summarize the movement of the piece: sounds make a chain by affinity. The concept is monodic, although layering and ornamentation can give an impression of polyphony. There are also subtle sounds, moving between: words, voices, sea-wind waves, gestures of another pieces.

XI pour ensemble et électronique

Description: Recording of Unsuk Chin's XI pour ensemble et électronique. This work consists of five parts that follow one another without interruption but hold their own distinct features. The sound material is a combination of synthesized sounds and samples from real instrumentation.

Zu klugen Gestirnen

Description: Recording of Riccardo Dapelo's Zu klugen Gestirnen. For soprano and tape. The work is derived from a picture poetry of Paul Klee. The composer tries to separate elements common to Klee's theory. The starting point is a small sound gesture: an upward exponential function. This function shapes all the steps of the work in a motion from noise to sound. The attempt is to build a self-similar structure with matching between small details and larger forms.

Die zweite sommer abendstimmung am traunsee

At Traunsee, Schoenberg reputedly divulged his theory of twelve-tone composition to a few students and friends, intending to forever change music’s cour… more
