Subterranean Network, commissioned by Hartt School of Music, is an electronic work which seeks to evoke a sense of the experience of the tunnel fighting in Cu Chi during the Vietnam War. These tunnels, from which the Viet Cong fought much of the war, were dark, narrow, poorly ventilated hell holes, filled with booby traps and inconceivable real and psychological terrors which plagued the American soldiers, known as tunnel rats, whose duty it was to explore them. These men, if not killed by boo… more

Music for Viola, Cello, and Tape

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

Voyage

It is a piece for 4-track tape, composed between November 1985 and August 1986 at CEMAMu (Centre d'Etudes de Mathématiques et Automatique Musicale) in Paris, using the UPIC, a graphically oriented computer system designed by Iannis Xenakis. The mixing was done in October 1986 at the Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio and Television in Warsaw with Ewa Guziolek as sound engineer. With the UPIC system, the composer is able to design all aspects of the music by means of an electro-magnetically… more

Dorian

A universe. Self-contained. Where timbre were the principal item. To force it into another state; apart; and let it, in accordance with its own laws, return to its rest; and then to begin to compose. Bend and vary, change and break. To alter some kind of perfection in order to attain something else. Two main items shared the conception of this piece: the possible richness in perception provoked by the duality: whole versus parts; and the possibility of mapping into musical events the behaviou… more

Palimpsest

"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

Alternances

"Alternances" for violin, clarinet, piano, percussion, cello and tape was written in 1985, the electroacoustic effects being made in the studio of Romanian Radio-Television. The room consists of seven sections, including sections 2, 4 and 6 on tape. The 6th section on tape and "life" is the recurrence of the second section, of the same existing correspondence between sections 1 and 7, 3 and 4. The dominant idea of the work is that of the imbsication of parallel music, with particular characte… more

Triptych

Recording of John Elmsly's, Triptych. In this work very simple technology is explored for musical results: the tape part was created using nothing more than one synthesizer, sequenced and overdubbed in real-time on a multi-track tape recorder. In all three pieces the aim was to write enjoyable but challenging music where the tape enlarges the performing space for the solo trumpet.
