950 for Bob

Description: Recording of Terry Setter's 950 for Bob. He describes this style of composition as "focusless music," which is structured in such a way that the listener always hears an undifferentiated sound continuum, making the smallest changes noticeable. The title refers to the length of the piece (950 seconds) and to Robert Ericksson, to whom the piece is dedicated.

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. The work is cast in three movements, with cadenza-like material appearing in the middle of the first movement and near the end of the final movement. It was my intention from the beginning to compose a work that would allow the performer to play with some degree of freedom and in a vituoso style. Throughout most of the work computer is limited to … more

Refrains for Trombone and Tape

Description: In Refrains, three types of materials, characterized and differentiated by rhythm, melodic contour, pulse and contour, collide and interrupt each other. The trombone and tape parts work together to articulate the form and shape of the piece resulting in combinations and exchanges of their materials and energy. The tape part is based on three source sounds: trombone attack with Harmon mute; trombone sustained tone, open; double-bass pizzicato. Refrains was composed for and dedicated to, Martin H… more

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

Litanéa

Description: "Litanéa" is an anagram of Electroacoustic Litanies. An exaggerated desire for possession of articulated sound material (down to the microscopic level) is not without the risk of developing a rational, even scientific, mind. In music, this exaggeration leads to a state of mind that may dry up in his desire for absolute possession of the material. A certain part of the periodicity must be left to the music (which does not belong to the composer) otherwise the sound can not exist. Litanies are of… more

Flush

Description: Disregard for the welfare of all aspects of the environment stem from the negative attitudes about life that prevail in our century. Champions of bloated Western consumerism are products of an age that has framed and glorified these negative attitudes in popular existentialist philosophies such as the "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" ethic - philosophies that serve to vindicate a short-sighted, self-centered, hedonistic indulgence in life. Caring, conscientious, forward-looking attitudes are frow… more

Gyuto: Resonances of the Divine

Description: Although composing a piece for tape in an electronic music studio involves a close relationship with modern Western technologies, I hope Gyuto evokes images and energies that submerge far and away the "high tech" machinery used in its performance. Inspired by the well-known Tibetan Tantric Monastery Choir Gyuto, this work generates itself abstractly Tantric spiritual beliefs and directly sounds created by the monks during their songs and rituals. The chants sung by the monks are used parsimonio… more

Bouffée Délirante

Description: "Delusional episode of short duration, bursting suddenly in a subject with a certain mental fragility." Larousse Dictionary My first attempt to make cinema for the ear. A beginning of scenario: a being who looks for himself dark in a fatal delirium. This piece would be divided into two parts: escape / isolation and fantasy / delirium. This scenario fortunately exceeded, I decide to focus on the internal space and its relation with form. I want to thank Francis Dhomont, Kevin Austin and Pierre … more

Only Beatrice

Description: This piece may be considered to be musique concrète. It also incorporates the features of Spiel-Hören. The female voice is used both as an exclusive material for the digital signal processing, and as a means for dramatization of the excerpt from Jan Lechon's poem Rendez-vous. The tape part is juxtaposed with the string quartet which gradually diverges from the tape, establishing its own distinct musical idiom. The voice has been digitally recorded, then cut into short fragments. Each fragment … more

Peaceful Settlement of Disputes

Description: Words, words, words…….!! Respect for human rights, for freedom of the spoken and written word. Somebody wanted to say something, others too. Hundreds wanted to speak, to say what they are thinking. But the answer is a battalion of machineguns………… A National Anthem is beginning to sound, than another and it increases and increases. It ends in chaos; the nations can’t come to an agreement. It seems to crumble down. There is a Final Act - does it help? Does it work? Time will tell. The Festival … more

For String Quartet and Tape

Description: For String Quartet and Tape explores the Relationship between the nuances that exist in the acoustic and electronic sound world. Throughout the work, the integration of electronic sounds into the acoustic domain of the string quartet creates an illusion that is often hard to define. In the end, they become one integrated ensemble.

d MnStR

Description: The piece describes the evolution of a compound universe of sound objects when influenced in multiple ways by different sets of structuring laws (state definitions). This universe contains a number of subuniverses, each of which is formed of a variable number of more elementary units. All of these levels may be considered as organic structures, for they describe whole-units through the relationships between the characteristics and the behaviours of their elements. The idea was to create a conti… more

Etapper

Description: The electroacoustic piece 'Etapper' ('stages') is based on a text selected from the novel 'Kontrapunktisk' by the Norwegian writer Ole Robert Sunde. In the piece the spoken and whispered sounds from the writers reading of the text have been transformed, mainly by the use of digital and analogue filtering, echo and reverb techniques. Transitions of noise, also derived from these vocal sounds, have been used to mark the hidden transfigurations that lead the development from one stage to the nex… more

Below the Walls of Jericho

Description: The title is only a loose reference to the story in the Bible. What interests me about the story is the idea of a large mass of people knocking down a wall through the use of sound. The story gives credence to the notion of music as a catalyst for social change. Beyond the sheer physical impact that a large number of sounds contain, the music is a form of language which is capable of creating thoughts. The power of music lies in the simultaneous physical and intellectual seduction of the listen… more

Jasha Svetla Luci serene

Description: The composition Luci serene (Lucid Lights) is inspired by a renaissance madrigal of Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa. That is why some of the sound samples used in this work are vocal and choir samples. The using of sounds formed by different types of sound synthesis – additive, FM, fractal, etc. – supported colour vividness and contrast of particular music passages. Connecting effect processors at final modifications made possible to realize the movement and localization of the direction and spac… 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. Heart of music for … more
