Tremens

Description: The title of the composition is taken from a line by Cicero, "toto pectorum tremens" ("the whole breast trembling"). The main musical ideas in this piece are all related to the act of trembling as a response to some basic emotional state such as anticipation, fear, panic, exhaustion, etc. In order to expand the timbral palette of the pieced material, I have incorporated into the composition synthetic, unpitched sounds such as wind, breathing, and large, struck sheets of metal. During the course… more

Something to Say

Description: Even thought the composition doesn't conclude any concrete theme, I have decided to participate in the category C. The basic work of composition is visual imagination, in which the musical form is subordinated. That is why the basic form of the choregraph movement of the interpret on the stage is so close connected to the music. From the point of view of the musical confrontation of three elements, which flow into music conflict. The score of the solo trumpet and the music of the recorded trump… more

Sonnerie de l'Arc de Cercle

Description: This is the result of an exploration of writing in space, in this case for the speakers placed in an arc forming a sound screen of 150 'to 220' aperture. This piece is also the result of an exploration of electroacoustic writing. 6 movements the structure: 1. Opening, solatonic less than a minute. 2. Around rain, or shudder of a more neumatic writing. 3. Duo where the bottom engulfs the soloists to merge into the fourth movement. 4. Explosions, tears falling in tessitura. 5.

Oro, Argento & Legno

Description: Oro, Argento & Legno ("Gold, Silver & Wood") is once again a large-scale work, this time for flute (or rather for flutist, who is asked to play not only a regular flute but also an alto flute and piccolo) and computer. It is a virtuoso work requiring a great deal of technical precision and agility from the flutist who at the same time is given ample opportunity to display his powers of musical interpretation. The form of the pie… more

Breeding for Computer and MIDI Systems

Description: This is a real-time performance of computer. This piece's "Structure" (changing with time of the density of sounds, distribution of sound-frequency, character of the sound-space, etc) was decided by translation and adaptation of the results of Monte Carlo simulation about the ecological concepts -birth, growth, death, etc-. It's used here to suggest a systematic but multiply stimulated study of materials and their organisation. Many scales and tunings consist of re-construction of the frequenc… more

Pas de Voix

Description: When asked to compose a piece for an all-Samuel Beckett concert in Los Angeles (including works by Cage, Dodge and Gnazzo), I determined not to act a text of the renowned existentialist writer but rather to sample his voice and manipulate the recording to formulate the substance of the music. Upon learning that Mr. Beckett does not permit his voice to be taped under any circumstances, I proceeded to record the lobby of his apartment building in Paris, the open-air Metro stop across the street, … 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

Obeying the Laws of Physics

Description: Recording of Daniel Scheidt's Obeying the Laws of Physics. This piece establishes an interactive situation made up of four regions of timbre - each representing a family of instruments. The percussionist explores each region and controls the transitions from one sound area to another by playing certain patterns derived from percussion playing techniques. Obeying the Laws of Physics was commissioned by Trevor Tureski with assistance from the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and premiered by him… more

Rappel II

Description: Recording of Elżbieta Sikora's Rappel II. Rappel II was written between June 1987 and June 1988. The work is made up of various modules: evolving, they meet in ever-changing configurations. in bits and pieces, melodies, in their anachronism and their sometimes decadent rhythms, making their way through increasingly thick sound screens, until they disappear forever in the final crescendo. A fairly brief first part in which the elements are stated. A sequence with a defined rhythm, accentuated, b… more

Epiphanies

Description: Recording of David Keane's Epiphanies. Epiphanies is a work for solo English horn, the sound of which controls a Yamaha CX5M music computer by way of a Pitchrider (pitch-to-MIDI converter). The timbres are changed by the performer using a foot pedal, according to a pre-programmed schema. This procedure allows for the power of computer re-sources, but the flexibility of live performance. Although the character of work is meant to be that of an unaccompanied work, the CX5M voices have been design… more

Storm Song

Description: Storm-song, as the title suggests, is concerned with two very different forms of musical material: 'storm' - tempestuous, dramatic and sometimes violent music with a strong sense of forward movement and goal orientation; and 'song' - a more lyrical, melodic aspect suggesting stasis and rest. These two ideas are developed through opposing musical means. For example, 'storm' is characterised in the tape part mainly by noise-based sounds, whereas 'song' uses more pitched material. Similarly, in … more

Caught in an Octogon of Unaccustomed Light

Description: This composition continues the development of a musical language based on the color of unusual acoustic sounds. In this case the predominant use of inharmonic timbres (metal, multiphonics and a non-octave tuning system), creates the language that our musical traditions has for the most part ignored. A series of sections or "windows" based on specific sound sources has the listener "caught" by their interactions. Overall structural integrity is maintained by the reuse of similar gestures, colors… more

The Photograph

Description: The Photograph was conceived in two separate studios with very disparate equipment. It is using vocal, string, and percussion source sounds, as well as keyboard and electric guitar sound. The former from one studio, the latter from the other studio studio. No "real" acoustic instruments were used although they sound like "real instruments or voices. Different methods of sampling were used except for electric guitar. The metaphor for the piece is the photograph because as a photograph is a "capt… more
