Adagio

Description: Recording of Raoul de Smet's Adagio. For this work the composer had proposed harmony and relaxation "before anything else.” From there, a slow and steady tempo and very simple form. The sound material is provided by twelve ordinary sound generators. The work begins with a chord in the treble, slowly emerging from the silence or void sound and sustained by a regular pulsation in the bass, the result of differential sounds. Then several new sounds are added while others change timbre, octave, or … more

Aegror

Description: Recording of Alfonso Belfiore's Aegror, a composition for computer made in 12 voices grouped in three channels. Two generating forces are at the basis of the development of the work, where one tends to the stratification (process also identifiable in the structure of the same sound) of the sound materials in massified and crystallized events, the other, contrary presence, tends, in the disintegration of these structures, to the restitution of a perceptible individuality to each layer up to the … more

Aerial

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Aerial for solo amplified horn and four computer-synthesized soundtracks performed by Steven Field. Aerial is characterized by an interplay between the solo instrument and the taped sounds in terms of complementary and contrasting sound colors. It attempts a close blending of the horn with the tape, not only in terms of timbre, but also with frequent pitch references, similar rhythms and quadraphonic spatial amplification. The horn is not intended to be heard as a 'so… more

Amanecer

Description: Recording of José Vicente Asuar's Amanecer. “Amanecer” is formally a very simple work. Through this and other works, I try to project the possibilities of electroacoustic music in a sonorous universe where harmonic intervals prevail and a formal concept not far from impressionism. For a long time I experienced, as other composers have, new possibilities of sound and structure, matter and musical form, with electroacoustic sounds. I have not abandoned the search, but I want to choose some things… more

Amanecer

Description: Recording of José Vicente Asuar's Amanecer. Amanecer is a formally very simple work. Through this and other works the composer projects the possibilities of electroacoustic music in a sound universe where harmonic intervals and a formal conceptualization not far from impressionism prevail. The rationale behind works like Amanecer is a break on the path of a creator. From a utilitarian point of view, Amanecer is intended as music for Ballet, as an introduction to some more breathtaking work that… more

Ambulator Memorensis

Description: Recording of Michael Keane's Ambulator Nemorensis. This piece was put together as a preliminary study for an experimental film by Nicholas Kendall called Tala. While the actual music used in Tala was quite different from Ambulator Nemorensis both are attempts to create an imaginary landscape (or to use Murray Schaefer's term "soundscape").

Androgyny

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Androgyny, a spatial environment with four computer-synthesized soundtracks. The sound construction is based on ideas about an acoustic polarity, namely "harmonic" and "inharmonic," or alternatively, "consonance" and "dissonance." These concepts are not opposed, but instead, are related in ways that show that a continuum exists between them, such as in the middle of the piece when harmonic timbres slowly "pull apart" and become increasingly dissonant at the peak inten… more

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. In addition to the synthetic sounds that are created through a digital synthesizer, four voices - two men, two women - are introduced in the final mix and are hardly distinguishable from the synthetic sounds.

L'Angélus

Description: Recording of Denis Lorrain's L'Angélus for clarinet and magnetic tape performed by Bernard Paluck, clarinet. This piece is of a fairly loose design, and uses natural passages of contrast or homogeneity between the magnetic tape and clarinet. Magnetic tape is made up of sounds electronic and concrete, including sounds coming from the clarinet itself. Development on two magnetic tape channels is opposed to the fixity of the interpreter situated between the two speakers. This recording was produce… more

Animated Sonic Forms number 3

Description: Recording of Francis John Sacci's Animated Sonic Forms number 3. Animated Sonic Forms number 3 was composed in 3 dimensions. Each tuning fork or timbre is a world apart. One sound created, another was made until two melodies of 12 sounds exist. The accompaniment was made by mixing the sounds heard in the melodies. The melodies are heard in different ways, we use variations, different speeds change the sounds while the melodies are played back and forth. The two little melodies are always played… more
