Through Windows of Vulnerability

Description: It is used to describe that interval of time when a message travelling over a communications medium is susceptible to being interfered with by another. Analogous to the conversation where no person listens for an appropriate moment to speak, the messages are rendered unintelligible. "Through Windows of Vulnerability" explores both grounds of wide harmonies and sheer textures. This piece was created during the fall of 1988 at the Queen's University Electroacoustic Music Studios.

Es menos dos

Description: Dedicated to Ana Vega-Toscano (1989). There are two possible versions: piano and computer controlled synthesiser or piano and tape (we will hear the piano en tape version). The technique of composition consist on the structured division of time in several levels that goes from its three sections to the small patterns. It is a duet, while one of the performers plays the piano the other triggers the computer to calculate and play short music fragments. The computer was also used for the developme… more

Trajectoires

Description: Some simple tracings with clear contours with here and there, perhaps, elements of surprises, unexpected detours, "Trajectories" is a live electroacoustic piece in five moments written for an interpreter and instruments of synthesis Yahama DX7 (E!) and TX7. By choosing a reduced instrumentation and a reduced sound material-a timbre per moment-the composition focuses on the sonic gesture: articulation and animation of each timbre. It is by playing and modifying the shape of the created sounds th… more

Shrinking Times

Description: The musical theme consists of a sequence of three attacks. The first part is a kind of presentation of the intellectual and structural message of the composition. The thematic part of the whole piece is heard in this introduction. Rhythm and melody are extremely simple and the counterpoints are quite opposite to each other. Everything else is nothing more than a variation and development that follows: cutting, transpositions of certain elements, multiple combinations, metric variation, as well … more

Riverrun

Description: Riverrun creates a sound environment in which stasis and flux, solidity and movement co-exist in a dynamic balance. The corresponding metaphor is that of a river, always moving yet seemingly permanent. From the smallest rivulet to the fullest force of its mass, a river is formed from a collection of countless droplets and sources. So too with the sound in this composition which bases itself on the smallest possible 'unit' of sound in order to create larger textures and masses. The title is the … more

Scirr

Description: Scirr is written for a contrabass flute and pre-recorded computer-generated sonorities. It owes its existence to special performing techniques that Beate-Gabriela Schmitt developed for this particular instrument, allowing her to modulate timbre and articulation in special ways. The part for pre-recorded tape was created exclusively from sounds relating to the flute part. Besides editing and mastering, the task of the computer programs was to apply to the sounds of the flute a variety of algorit… more

T'es le Fun Téléphone

Description: Everything revolves around a phone. Waiting for a call can drive you crazy, as well as unwanted ringtones that sound from everywhere. Fortunately, there is Wes Montgomery to dream a little François and Chantal live a funny day everyone in their apartment. We can observe them as if we had inserted a small camera. Who does not want to penetrate the intimacy of others at times? History to recognize a little, or not at all. Finally, they will find themselves in the cinema maybe!

Mein 1989

Description: In 1989, we celebrated the Bicentenary of the Great French Revolution. On this occasion, I composed a radio play "Mon 1989". It was a collage of electroacoustic music and documents that I recited myself. After the "little German revolution", the idea came to me, by association, to compose the current correspondent: "Mein 1989", using my voice and this time, documents recorded on magnetic tape. It is a look back on our destiny which, in East Germany, begins with the terrible legacy of Nazism. At… more

Paysages PC

Description: If the music of the past was characterized by the contest between consonance and dissonance, the music of the present day is a contest between sound and noise. This percussion piece is located precisely in this intermedia area. The instrumentation is largely metallic, centering on gongs (Ching, Tching Lwo, Feng Lwo etc.) completed by a marimba. Structurally the piece develops from points (isolated, in varying density) by way of lines (aleatory distribution of glissando cymbals) to a surface. Th… more

Les Sombres Lamentations d'Attis et Ariadne

Description: The Lamentation of Attio was composed by Vincent McDermott at the Laboratory of Sonology in Utrecht. This multi-media piece is based on classical Latin poetry by C. Valerius Catullus. The text tells the story of Attis who was emasculated to join the worship of Cibelle. When he complains about what he has become, Cibelle sends his lions after him for eternity.

Cymbal Simon

Description: This piece is a musique concrète study of the cymbal. One eighteen-inch cymbal is the only sound source. The focus taken while composing this piece was to compare the distinctive attack and sustain portions of the cymbal. Then to transform each one into the other, creating new sounds to work with.

Solaria

Description: “Solaria” is a piece that uses, besides few synthetic sounds, only digital transformed piano sounds. During the seminars of Musica/Complessità (Amelia – Italy) in 1989 where I have known and frequented for nine days professor Barry Truax and many other composers, I have had the opportunity to go into details of Granular Synthesis. Right after I have begun to think to a composition that used such type of synthesis in combination with "wavetable synthesis” that I already used in a preceding … more

(Inter)play

Description: At the time of writing (inter)play I was interested in creating simple global frameworks which allowed the ear to concentrate on the details of individual sonic events and grains of texture which the electroacoustic domain offers. The broad structure of (inter)play is very straightforward. It is in two parts, each having similar material and function. Musical interest lies in micro-structures: details of texture, gesture and proportion, emphasised by careful spatialisation. The piece uses sound… more

Chréode I

Description: Jean-Baptiste Barrière: "Chréode " is a borrowed term from morphology and biology (from the Greek "cre" it is necessary," and "Odos" path: Necessary path). It is used here as a metaphor for a systematic and intersecting investigation of the material and the organization. It is about my time of a generic title for a set of computer works, of which "Chréode I " is the first element. Although the materials are very worked, the attention in this piece carries more specialty on the organization. … more

Déchaînement II

Description: Jan Boerman: Unleash II (1984) "Unleash II" for percussion, live electronics and tapes was composed in 1984 for the Johan Wagenaar Foundation.

These three pieces are - in terms of tapes - from the same electronic equipment. The shape and development are totally different. However, identical nu… more

Il Nome

Description: The text, "Il Nome of Maria Frisu" was written by the Italian poet, Andrea Zanzotto. Maria Frisu was one of 84 people killed on August 2, 1980 in the attack on the Bologna / Italy train station (attack attributed to the neo-fascist group Avanguardia Nazionale). She was bleeding to the point of being unrecognizable. The names of those killed during the attack appear on a memorial erected on a wall of the rebuilt railway station. In Zanzotto's poem, the text "Il nome" adds a short passage from th… more

Karangan

Description: Karangan is the Indonesian word for “work”, as for instance the peasants working in the rice fields. In this composition I tried to integrate the western and eastern musical traditions. Sometimes it turned out, more or less, as a confrontation between two different cultures, and other times it resulted in a synergy. I was inspired to create this piece by my trip through Indonesia in 1989, the country where I was born. It reflects the sounds I heard, the movements I saw and the thoughts and emot… more
