In the hours of siesta, he blows with great gentleness on the bougainvillea; this is the inspiration for all of the algorithms in the piece. After returning to Paris, Barbaud asked Frank Brown a… more

The pulses of time

Description: Recording of Denis Smalley's The pulses of time. The piece reflects the varied behavior of pulses: the regular pulses of meter, the much slower pulses which pace sections of music, and pulses which form the interior character of sounds - the accelerating pulses of a bouncing sound, and the fast pulses creating the "grain" in sound textures. The different atmospheres in the work are generated by the major sound sources: the electronic bounced family of sounds, metallic harmonies which expand the… more

Matin, matinée, soirée, nuit

Description: Recording of Bohdan Mazurek's "Matin, matinée, soirée, nuit." It is a work for children who conform to the adopted principles which should be of aesthetic values to initiate the broader sense of the term music. Mazurek introduced program elements to the music in order to train the young listener to attain the sense of psychological concentration needed for the perception of music. The musical layer lacks a homogeneous style, which results from the preconceived idea the diversity of functions th… more

Syntagmes

Description: Recording of Francis Dhomont's Syntagmes. This work obeys a double concern: formal rigor and vagrancy of the imagination. Seemingly contradictory proceedings, they are inspired by linguistic mechanisms which - within the limits of a code - allow innumerable discoveries.

Al-Un

Description: Recording of Michel Tétreault's. Al-Un is based on a single sound material: an aluminum chime. From this material, Tétreault created sonic events of different densities that he then arranged in the stereophonic space. The result is a work which two main parameters are: perspective and fixity or the mobility of plans. The structural organization is elaborated according to the weight and the atomic mass of the aluminum.

Description: Recording of Zagorka Zivkovic's Extension 1 created at the Electronic Music Studio in Stockholm. It is the first in a series of works aiming to extend the sound quality of certain live-instruments.

These sounds are then juxtaposed with some pieces of the or… more

The thin edge of the wedge

Description: Recording of Andrew Newell's "The thin edge of the wedge." This is the first piece in a triptych of pieces. It is orchestrated for seven electronic instruments, which were realized on a Buchla 200 series synthesizer. The concept behind the music concerns itself with man's position in the world today, which the composers sees as a very dangerous one, with possible self-destruction close at his heels. This piece is as one voice "crying in the wilderness," not meant to soothe, but to alert his fel… more

Aux lampions

Description: Recording of Bertand Dubedout's "Aux lampions" ("To the lanterns"). Lampions are small oil lamps, formerly popular as a carriage light. It is a concrete piece in three movements: "Bal convexe" ("Convex ball"), "Le cocher" ("The coachman"), and "Sous les planches" ("Under the boards"). For writers like Bulgakov, Gogol, and Chekhov, the ball scene is often a story of action, tragedy, or desperation; the ball can ruin an existence or bring hope. Delight, delusion, and loneliness are the multiple s… more
