The Wings of Nike

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's The Wings of Nike. Barry Truax created the music with real-time granular synthesis. The work is in four sections. The visuals are based on a "sampled" visual image of the famous statue, the Winged Victory (or Nike) of Samothrace, and the music is mainly based on two sampled phonemes of vocal sound, one male, the other female. The work is an extension of an earlier collaboration, Divan (1985), which explored sound-image relationships. The computer images realized with … more

Winter

Description: Recording of Gerald Bennett's Winter, music made for digital synthesizer. It is based in its sound and temporal structure, on one of Friedrich Hölderlin's last poems. These poems, which almost all have a seasonal title, are luminously calm; nothing moves, image is placed next to image, without syntactic or logical relations. In the play, six imaginary female voices make a double canon, unlike six families of non-vocal sounds. The sound structure, the choice of pitches and frequencies, also depe… more

Winter Leaves

Winter Leaves was realized at the "Centro di Sonologia Computazionale" (University of Padova), January to March 1980.

Winter Sextet

Description: This piece was first written for an instrumental sextet (flute, clarinet, bassoon, xylophone, viola and cello) in 1983. In 1987, with the use of samples of these instruments and other purely electronic sounds, I I made a version of this piece that develops a kind of orchestral image of the work. The texture, rhythms and other parameters are worked in a sense that resembles that of the orchestra but with an electroacoustic fragrance that gives this piece its special character.

Wires

Description: Wires basic idea is working with large sound masses evolving and changing through the time like a complex flux. Each mass is composed by a great number of single sounds (from 10 to 2/300, the mean is 50 to 100) that can seldom be perceived as "notes". So the way the mass "sounds" depends on parameters like frequency range, density, durations, attack, time, and spectra of composing sounds in a sort of granular micro-polyphony. I composed Wires defining the masses evolution at high level by means… more

Worship

Description: At nightfall, the faithful would gather in a hut or a clearing in the woods. The ceremony was lit by hundreds of candles all around the congregation. Its introductory stage, which usually lasted quite a long time, was devoted to contemplation and the invocation of a higher power. The initiates form a ring, and under the influence of protracted simulation through prayer and wild wailing achieve a state of religious ecstasy, which grips even potential proselytes. Big strong men break into tears, … more

Yan

Description: "Yan", Rikskonserter's Command for Kroumata Set dedicated to Jan Ling, professor of musicology, is a twin composition of "Kren"; the two pieces can be given continuously as one single composition or separately. The early percussion attacks allude to "Kren", but "Yan" is closer to an improvisation and takes the form of an elongated and gradual transformation, a distinct form of Kren's one-piece construction.

Yttringar (utterances)

Description: Recording of Ã…ke Parmerud's "Yttringar (utterances)." Form and material derived from the Fibbonacci-series. One of the goals of the piece is to avoid the regular behavior of instruments and electroacoustic sounds as clearly separated entities by creating rapid "shadowings" between the tape-part and the live-part. The piece is performed with the conductor hearing a separate channel click-track in a head-phoneset, enabling him to keep in perfect sync with the tape-part.

Zee

Description: Zee was realized with the Synclavier II system, utilizing various digital programs for processing of electronic, concrete (sampled) and intermediate ("Resynthesis") sounds. Most of the sampled sounds are of the composer's voice. Zee here is a phoneme with no semantic implications.

Zeichen

Description: The chosen material has two components: electronic with FM synthesis and with sampled "natural" noise and sounds. Basic for the composition was the poem "zeichen" by Austrian Ernst Jandl. Its poetic texture was not set to music in a conventional way. The poem determines the composition in two ways. At one side, the structural level of the texture was the basis for elaboration of the musical structure, because kind and accumulation of speech sounds find an equivalent, mostly in construction and … more

Zoo logical

Description: Recording of Andrew Bentley's Zoo-logical for tape. The piece functions as a sort of trilogy (if it is called a dialogue between three people) between a poem, sounds of animals that are electronic in origin. The work is related to the themes of the Helsinki Agreements which mainly are contained in the words "participant nations" and "United Nations." The poem that is spoken is Finnish in origin.
