Across the Evening Sky

Description: "Across the Evening Sky" consists of sustained, slowly changing sonorities and pedal figures which gradually evolve across a variety of registers, densities and intensities. Formal cohesion is achieved via a process akin to isorhythm, wherein large-scale repetitions occur at varying rates, thus resulting in ever-changing juxtapositions of material. The composition was realized at the computer music studio of Northwestern University in the winter and spring of 1987, and received its premiere at … more

Action/Passion

Description: Recording of Annette Vande Gorne's Action/Passion. It is the result of a close collaboration where choreography and music were designed in interaction. The work is inspired by inner energy and its manifestation: movement. During the show, the dynamic movements of the sounds unfold in the space thanks to a spatialized interpretation. Music and dance play on very contrasting energies such as breaths, fluids, attack/immobility, attack/movement, rebounds, journeys, falls, crushing, rotations, oscil… more

Aquaformes

Description: Aquaforms is a one-movement composition for computer-generated tape which explores various timbres that give the effect of light refraction under water. Atmospheric depth and pressure of the water environment is accomplished by movable reverberation and filtering with a variable band pass filter whose center frequency is at least 2 octaves above the fundmental frequency. Under water flute instruments are constructed by the process of spectrally warping synthesized flute tones. The musical struc… more

Arghanum III

Description: Arghanum (Gk. organon), arabic name for the byzantine organ.

Arghanum III (1987-II) : the composer explores the myriads transformations possible when sampling materials out of his own earlier [mostly vocal] compositions.

Arghanum IV

Description: Arghanum (Gk. organon), arabic name for the byzantine organ. according to Ibn Khurdädhbih, writing in the 9th. c., it had bellows of skin and iron, and the word "arghanum" was interpreted as meaning 1000 voices. Arghanum IV uses a technique based on remembrances, mostly achieved by extracting materials from earlier compositions by lanza. Arghanum IV takes materials from the vocal pieces Penetrations VII and Ekphonesis V [written for and recorded commercially by Meg Sheppard]. The work also uses… more

The Ballade about Wood

Description: The electroacoustic composition "The Ballad about Wood" on fragments of Béla Bartokos' viola concerto was premiered at the Electronic Radio and Television Studio in Budapest in collaboration with engineers Peter Janik and Jan Backstuber. It is based on two elementary sound structures: the structure of the wood and the structure of the polystyrene. These structures are treated analogically, like the fragments borrowed from Bartok. The contrasts and affinities of these structures that seek to ach… more

Belimde Hersey Varden

Description: Science is capable of everything. One must try to embellish and improve one's inner power through science. We can neglect everything except science. The soul is like an oil lamp whose science is the flame. The miracles of the gods are the oil of this lamp. If it burns and shines it means that one lives. Without this force of light we belong to the dead. Poem of the famous philosopher and doctor Ibni Sina, 980-1037. The music emphasizes the meaning of the text of the poem. The text of the main m… more

Breeding for Computer and MIDI Systems

Description: This is a real-time performance of computer. This piece's "Structure" (changing with time of the density of sounds, distribution of sound-frequency, character of the sound-space, etc) was decided by translation and adaptation of the results of Monte Carlo simulation about the ecological concepts -birth, growth, death, etc-. It's used here to suggest a systematic but multiply stimulated study of materials and their organisation. Many scales and tunings consist of re-construction of the frequenc… more

Canticum

Description: Canticum (1987) was composed at the Electronic Music Studio A of Stony Brook University. It uses exclusively analog techniques of sound manipulation, based on the spoken word as compositional material. The text consists of a fragment of the Psalm 34, in Latin. In this work the technical virtuosity, and the sudden alternation of different textures allows the dialog tension-resolution, that even in the end of the piece never seems to arrive to a final conclusion.

Caught in an Octogon of Unaccustomed Light

Description: This composition continues the development of a musical language based on the color of unusual acoustic sounds. In this case the predominant use of inharmonic timbres (metal, multiphonics and a non-octave tuning system), creates the language that our musical traditions has for the most part ignored. A series of sections or "windows" based on specific sound sources has the listener "caught" by their interactions. Overall structural integrity is maintained by the reuse of similar gestures, colors… more

Chiaroscuro

Description: Of course, this Chiaroscuro is one of shadows and light, of opacity and transparency of sound, of the incertitude between one and the other. However, beyond this, it is the ambiguity, the hesitation between spoken and suggested, between face and mask (warning : a sound may hide another), between manifest and latent, enactment and illusion. "Trompe-l'oreille" music. As in much of my work, certain sound elements come from earlier pieces and are developed anew here. I like the fact that the disc… more

Chronaxie

Description: This work focuses mainly on the study of the various resonance times of percussion instruments, in a continuum idea from the longest resonances to the briefest ones. The rhythm follows a similar curve, starting from non-rhythm to an increasingly fast pace. Everything is built on a single rhythmic cell. The piece is for multiple percussion and tape.

La cinquième saison

Description: The fifth season, metamorphosis of music. It is the season written by man for man, the useless after the useful. Sometimes an imitation of nature and the changes imposed on it, caricature. From birth to death, from love to oblivion, it is destiny that makes a story, but not history. The fifth season is the eventuality, a stage, a possible continuation of the "Four Seasons" frozen cycle of the past, pardon ... of the present.

Coding 1

Description: This work is the sounding of a simulation of the Brownian motion. First, the computer makes a simulation by using the random numbers. I used the every time numbers as the random seed. So, there is no equal playing. It always changes the form. Next, the information and the data of the simulation are converted into the data of the sound (frequency, envelope, rhythm, etc) by the computer. But a tone colour is fixed. The computer brings the sound date to a kind of LSI that we call PSG (programmabl… more

Contradicciones

Description: The work starts from the idea of using a great heterogeneity of sound, a profusion of elements, from electronic, instrumental and vocal sources, sounds of nature, etc. This is due to the fact that the composer seeks a result that is constantly changing, so that it is neither iterative nor boring. The other characteristic of the work is the coexistence of certain rhythmic, periodic, melodic and tonal elements, with sounds more specific to electroacoustics.
