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

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

Harmonion

Description: Recording of David Keane's Harmonion. The system employed was a hybrid system comprised of a large modular Buchla synthesizer and an Arp 2500 under the control of a PDP 11-03 micro-processor. The latter was used almost exclusively for precise control information for the amplitude of analog filters (octave, low-pass and band-pass) which processed information derived from 12 to 18 oscillators which were themselves under both manual and analog-program control. "Harmonion" (loosely "that which has … more

Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Description: Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with o… more

Output

Description: Recording of Gottfried Michael Koenig's Output for tape.

PRIXM is a computer program for making compositions, then either providing a printout in the form of tables or an audible output via the VOSIM sound system. This system is actually intended to inform the composer about pitch, loudness and rhythmic events - a kind of piano reduction. However, different… more
