Night-Night Flower

Description: Recording of John Winiarz's Night-Night Flower. This title refers to a desert plant called "Night-blooming cereus," a plant that blooms in the dark, the flower dying at the first light of dawn. It is not, however, a program music, but rather an evocation of the atmosphere stemming from electronic sources, natural and instrumental, processed mainly by filtering and modulation rings. The tape was made at the Electronic Music Studio of McGill University in Montreal.

Närheter

Description: Recording of Åke Parmerud's Närheter. The title of the piece is a plural form of the word "closeness," which is rather untranslatable.

The text was written by the Swedish author Ella Hillbäck. Throughout the piece, even without knowing the meaning of the words, I believe one can feel the different "scenes" taking place. The first part… more
