The Question Mark's Black Ink

Description: The Question Mark's Black Ink was inspired, in part, by a poem by S.L. Hough (opposite), from which the title comes. Though not programmatic, the work was influenced by the atmosphere of the poem as well as its implicit psychological dichotomy, of which the contrast of tape and live performers may be taken as representative. There also exists a unity between the tape and the acoustic sounds, however, because the sounds on the tape were all taken from the instruments playing: piano (bowed, pluck… more

Sinfonia Concertante: Mozartean Episode

Description: Sinfonia Concertante is modeled on the dramatic essence of its classic namesake: the interplay of the chamber orchestra and the computer music narrative; of sweet consonance and angry dissonance; of innocence and duplicity; of pleasure and sorrow. The text for the taped narrative heard through the piece is formed from excerpts from ten letters written by Mozart from Mannheim and Paris to his father in Salzburg during a nine-month period from November 22, 1777, to July 9, 1778. The text was digi… more

I'm zentrum ohne worte septett mit live elektronik

Description: The business language of communication is the starting point of my septet. The language is broken down here in their smallest elements. By this there is not a semantic relation, but a phonetic plain which has come into being. The singer uses vowels, diphthongs, later consonants. The parts become more and more full of noise and have only heard the explosive consonants. At the same time, the electronics continually envelope the part, and after the time of the greatest modulation.

Lag

Description: "Lag" is built with a material that is both concrete and synthesized, where electronic sounds play an impersonal, imitative role while the concrete material, consisting of various short musical excerpts that have a great significance for me, is deeply processed. and thus an electronic appearance. Gradually, during the piece, which has the shape of an inverted arc, these functions are so altered that in the end the relation is opposite. Order of the Swedish Radio, composed in 1986, this music i… more

For John II - Retrospective Episode

Description: When you reach "the zenith of your life", you may be tempted to look at your past. Moving forward to the future is not easy. Reflections on the past can occur spontaneously without a particular structure, and by fugitive associations. Memories of various episodes appear unrelated. For Jon II is a piece where the main form of music is based on a similar process. The various parts of the piece seem to lack obvious connections and a clear structure principle for the whole piece. Small episodes or … more

Clavirissima

Description: The musical idea of ​​this piece - apart from the ventral expression, direct and inexplicable - is the multiplication of sounds; each played sound produces a multitude of other sounds; contrapuntal, barely audible, fireworks, etc. As far as the technical aspect is concerned, the structure of the IT processes is part of the idea of ​​controlling a sound computer by something more imminent and more subtle than the computer keyboard keys, than potentiometers or a mouse. . The sound of the piano is… more

Pigeon Fantasies

Description: This piece was created in 1985 at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University on the Samxon Box Digital Concepts Synthesizer. It was inspired by an early morning walk in Vondelpark in Amsterdam and was made in conjunction with a film, also by the composer. The pigeon of the title "Pigeon Fantasies" is in some sense the protagonist of the film. Water is an important image in the piece. Great pains were taken to resynthesize the sound of water, using a program d… more

Des Etres

Description: Recording of Gabriel Brnčić's Des Etres. This work is dedicated to the memory of Oscar Masotta, a specialist in psychoanalysis and semiology. This is music that recalls the atmosphere of the first montages of the imaginary theater that Oscar Masotta created in the 60s in Buenos Aires and to which I collaborated by producing infinite quantities of sound. Now, a viol and a computer, in eight-voice polyphony, constitute this absence of being, constantly speaking of its presence.

Naturale Condizione del Moto

Description: This composition is built on the axiom that at the basis of the musical invention there are not only the sounds of tempered height and harmonic timbre but also the complex sounds, and especially those constituted by inharmonic spectra. The spectral complexity is the reference characteristic on which all the relationships of internal relationship to this piece are constructed, granting a clear preference, even on a purely aesthetic level, to the most harsh and dissonant multifonical sounds.

Cordes de Nuit

Ellipse

Description: "Ellipse" is a music designed for a mime. The musical structure follows exactly the scenario proposed by the mime, while trying to integrate as much as possible to the movements performed on stage. The sound material is very small. All the music was built from two synthetic sounds programmed on a Yamaha DX 7 synthesizer and breathing sounds, sampled by a PPG synthesizer. Compositionally, the work is designed to establish a single formal unit. The development is very progressive and always att… more

Fantasia su Roberto Fabriciani

Description: In short: the "support" on tape is a very capillary tension of the "Fantasia" for flute alone. The canon - in 4 parts - of the "Fantasia" is realized (here it is only a tale "virtual" and melodic point) by groups of four voices each; the most acute of the groups is a game of echoes with the same note as the flute alone. In addition, within the 24 parts, several sizes all specular shapes and three transpositions (1/3 of a tone each time). The three inner groups are recorded with a contralto flut… more

Environs

Description: Environs was written as environmental performance piece for outside performance in a large, open, urban square. It deals with our surroundings and the ways in which we perceive ourselves within the environment. In this case surroundings is taken in the broadest sense – physical, spatial, temporal, emotional. The piece focuses on the use of sound to manipulate our perception of the environment and attempts to create a new context in which new relationships lead to new forms of experience. Enviro… more

Shadeless, Peopled

Description: This work was created by the multi-lagering of entirely acoustic sound sources. Scrap metal, voices, bowed aluminium pot hids and guitar have been orchestrated in large numbers (averaging 200 tracks and up to 500 atacks per second) to produce new sound structures through synthesis complexity. It is an extended orchestrational approach which arms at developing the morphological (inner structure of sound) rather than the syntactical (the ordering of sounds) aspect of musical structure. The gestur… more
