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. The necessity of breathing permeates the work.

Partial Distances

Description: Recording of James Dashow's Partial Distances. It is the last purely analog electronic work Dashow composed.

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

Fantasy Quintet

Description: "Fantasy quintet" for piano and computer was composed in 1977-78 for pianist Dwight Peltzer, on a commission from the National Endowment for the Art.

Computer Controlled Direct Air Sample Counting

Description: At Rocky Flats approximately 1000 effluent and process area air samples are collected daily. These samples are then transferred to a central facility and direct counted for gross alpha concentrations. These concentrations are determined by utilizing a 100 detector system with a mini-computer. The computer controls the count cycle and performs data manipulations. The results are stored on magnetic tape. This system is designed and programmed in such a manner that it can be operated by semi-skill… more

Spectacle pour un instant

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's Spectacle pour un instant. For saxophone and tape. Condensed times and spaces which bear musically dense structures with no more audible phonic details or intervals between sounds, offering only a global configuration of the sonorous compression. In this case, seven independent pieces of music get the aspect of some fulgurations, seeming to represent segments of big amounts of acoustic energy. Energies of melodic profiles revealed by the music progress may be lib… more

Dreamsong

Description: Recording of Michael McNabb's Dreamsong. It features a mixture of synthesized, digitally recorded and digitally processed sounds. These sound, along with the precision control of digital processing and mixing, result in an expressive sonic continuum ranging from unaltered real sounds to those that are totally imaginary. The melodic and harmonic structure provides the framework for continuous timbral and textural transformations. The work was done using digital synthesis, processing, and sound e… more

De onbesuijsde steenhoop

Description: Recording of Kees Van Prooijen's De onbesuijsde steenhoop. "De onbesuijsde steenhoop" was completed on March 30, 1977. The overall structure of the piece can be described as an introduction followed by variations on a theme. The introduction that occupies more than half of the work is composed in a free style, my first subject of interest being how the computer manufactures the sound and how this sound is perceived. The variations are the result of an analysis-synthesis process executed by the … more
