Hake

Description: Recording of Armeno Alberts' Hake. The title refers to singing in traditional Javanese music, meaning a cry of joy. The work was entirely composed on the UPIC system, exploiting in particular the possibilities of tuning with the frequency tables. I also used frequency modulation to give an "orchestral" aspect to the sound. Many waveforms were taken from samples of gamelan orchestra instruments. The tape can be played alone or with a score for four gamelan instrumentalists.
