Accidents two: Sound projections

Description: Recording of Larry Austin's Accidents two: Sound projections. For piano and computer music. This work extends and substances the original compositional and real-time performance approach from an earlier work. There is an open form, invoking highly evolved improvisational formats and extends the musico-technical resources from the live electronics piece towards hypermedia and subsumes the actual sounds from the original work.

Acéré

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acéré. The intention was to create a piece about war. Different object sounds were recorded in the studio, to have a wider palette of percussion sounds. The idea is that these percussions gradually change. As in the repetition of a 'kata', a movement sequence in martial arts, the concentration becomes more intense and the sounds increasingly sharp, by playing on the harmonics they contain. To give a feeling of space to this movement, transformed soundscapes create an … more

Acetone

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acetone. It was created essentially from sounds representative of landscapes and festivities in Haute-Savoie, this piece explores the limits of the possibilities of sound mutation. The idea is to exaggerate certain acoustic characteristics, to better control the expressiveness of these sound objects, but without losing their original nature. Thus, the listener is projected into a lyrical world, while measuring the gap that separates him from real sources that can ofte… more

Achilles. An opera.

Description: John Gay is credited with inventing the ballad opera, a genre that blends spoken plays and previously composed songs to new texts. Although The Beggar’s Opera (1728) was his most successful endeavor, he continued to compose English musical dramas. Achilles was finally performed in 1733, one year after Gay died. In this story, Achilles appears as a girl named Pyrrha, unknown to most of the inhabitants of the island of Scyros, in order to circumvent a prediction that he will die in battle. D… more

Across the Evening Sky

Description: "Across the Evening Sky" consists of sustained, slowly changing sonorities and pedal figures which gradually evolve across a variety of registers, densities and intensities. Formal cohesion is achieved via a process akin to isorhythm, wherein large-scale repetitions occur at varying rates, thus resulting in ever-changing juxtapositions of material. The composition was realized at the computer music studio of Northwestern University in the winter and spring of 1987, and received its premiere at … more

Act of Opening

Description: "Act of Openings" is a stereo composition made with Moog analog synthesis modules. Composed in 1968, its duration is 17'27. The score of the composition is a dense and modulated sound characterized by carefully controlled phase relationships. All the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the piece derive energy from a long, brilliant sound. Each part of the room is another glimpse of this sound, as a set of flowers form a bouquet. "Act of Openings" received the 2nd Prize at the 1969 Dartmouth Inter… more

Action/Passion

Description: Recording of Annette Vande Gorne's Action/Passion. It is the result of a close collaboration where choreography and music were designed in interaction. The work is inspired by inner energy and its manifestation: movement. During the show, the dynamic movements of the sounds unfold in the space thanks to a spatialized interpretation. Music and dance play on very contrasting energies such as breaths, fluids, attack/immobility, attack/movement, rebounds, journeys, falls, crushing, rotations, oscil… more

Acuerdor por Differencia

Description: Picture yourself travelling at ease on the train. As you look through the window, you notice the power cables, which run parallel to the tracks. As your eyes follow them, they seem to turn giving the impression of a volume that gently and continuously rotates as it changes shape. This flow seems to accelerate before being momentaneously interrupted by the posts that hold them at more or less regular distances; this is immediately followed by the previous soft change as you recapture the perspe… more
