A Vent

Description: Recording of Jonty Harrison's A Vent for oboe and tape, performed by Robin Canter, oboe. It is more accurately described as a tape piece with oboe since the tape carries the greater part of the musical argument and is never merely a background for an oboe solo.

Stria

Description: Recording of John Chowning's Stria. The work uses the processes of computer synthesis to precisely control the spectral components - the partials - of sound. A non-tonal division of the frequency space is based on the golden ratio which is also used to determine relationships between inharmonic spectral components. Chowning received one of the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music's (IRCAM) first commissions to compose a piece for the first series of concerts of the Institu… more

Ice breaker

Description: Recording of Kevin Jones's Ice breaker. Jones had just traveled from Helsinki to Stockholm by boat across the frozen Baltic Sea, which had been made more difficult due to a strike of icebreaker crews. During the crossing, the magical and mysterious sight of distant plains of ice reflecting the ship's searchlights contrasted strongly with the occasional violent thrusts of the bows ramming into thickly packed ice. The "ice breaker" concept also extends into the interpretation of breaking ice in s… more

Partial Distances

Description: Recording of James Dashow's Partial Distances. It is the last purely analog electronic work Dashow composed. There are a few sounds in this piece generated by computer but significantly transformed and altered by analog techniques of one kind or another, such as dynamic filtering, delay line processing, extreme velocity manipulations, etc. The piece was made by the old tape cut and splice method, mixing and re-mixing pairs of ReVoxes onto a third one, and avoiding tape hiss with the newly inven… more

Études 1 et 2

Description: Recording of Þorsteinn Hauksson's Études 1 et 2.The two etudes are the first works based on research carried out at the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music in Paris for more than a year on the techniques of organization of harmonics in composition.

Una pulce da sabbia

Description: Recording of Roberto Doati's "Una pulce da sabbia" ("A Sand Flea") for tape. This work utilizes a timbre space built on three dimensions: spectral energy distribution, spectral fluctuation, and high frequency energy which precedes the full attack of the tone. The sound synthesis models used are simple waveshaping and FM. The overall structure of the composition is generated by the projection on a two-dimensional space with frequency as the ordinate and time as the abscisa, of an architectural s… more

Ange

Description: Recording of Jean Piché's Ange for tape or radio performance. It is a timbral work in which the main goal is the total acoustic mixing of natural and synthetic sound material.

Ever-Livin' Rhythm

Description: Recording of Neil Rolnick's "Ever-Livin' Rhythm." All of the sound material comes from fragments of African music taken mostly from field recordings of music of the BaBenzele pygmies of Central Africa, which was then transcribed by Rolnick. The rhythmic drive of the piece is similar to the kind of infectious music which has come out of the African diaspora. The computer part was realized on a mainframe computer which would calculate the batch files, which is an aspect that endures in Rolnick's … more

Terpsichore

Description: Recording of Otto Laske's Terpsichore. The piece is in three movements. The first movement is followed by a set of variations of an equally percussive but more song-like nature. The initial two movements have in common extremely fast, often acoustically minute, streams of sound. In contrast, the third movement is overall slower in pace and more song-like. Throughout, the musical flow is punctuated by silences. It is a work of great contrasts of density, registers, and dynamics that owes its tit… more

The piece received a Honorary Mention from the Electroacoustic Music Festival Luigi Russolo in Varese, Italy in 1… more
