Rising Tides of Generations Lost

Description: Drawing on women's stories handed down aurally over time, this piece uses the fundamental building blocks of language to tell the story of struggle and intolerance endured by women over centuries. This is one of Bartley's earliest pieces and it possesses the intensity and political motivation found throughout her repertoire of electroacoustic vocal compositions. Rising Tides of Generations Lost was realized at the Electronic Music Studio at McGill University in Montréal in 1985 with the Synclav… more

String Quartett

Description: String Quartet is a computer program written in the procedural control language Pile 4. This means that the composition was not conceived as an expression of certain personal emotional states. Rather, procedures related to various musical manipulations were joined in a structure that produces the sounds heard and the hierarchy in which they exist. A relatively Small amount of material was manipulated in the program to form the entire composition. The sound synthesis technique can be considered … more

Fanfares

Description: The piece uses as basic materials the recordings I made in Indonesia, 4 examples of the music used by street vendors. The first is an ice cream vendor who rides a bicycle with a cooler in the back. He plays a small instrument with a metal hip that looks a bit like a trumpet. This instrument does not have a hole for the fingers and the different heights are obtained by the variation of the air pressure. As far as I could judge, this instrument is unique. Street vendors typically use commonly rec… more

Cantus

Description: After my first experiences in musique concrète, and even more so, when I started using the computer for music composition, I wanted to be able to compose the sound material , as I composed the structures when I wrote "notes" for instrumentalists. Our first researches, from 1976 (by means of a microprocessor that we had procured for ourselves), were done in this direction: to put the sound matter in memory and to fragment it so that it became "reflowable". The microprocessor of this era providin… more

Some artists like Arnold Schoenbe… more

Estructuras 6502

Description: The work is a theme with variations. The theme is the graphic form of a parable and is developed in three sections in the field of heights on different types of timbres and articulations. A fourth section summarizes the whole with a stretto. This piece was made using a microprocessor 6502 by first calculating numbers representative of the heights and durations that are stored. After, this memory is emptied in real time on a digital analog converter which controls the corresponding parameters on… more

Caroselli

Description: This is a fun piece and should be enjoyed by both the instrumentalists and the audience. The idea of the work is obvious from the name, "Carousel". Labels run our lives – who, what, where we are and so forth. Minimalism, Maximalism, Expressionist, traditional. All these labels have different meanings according to who is listening. Not mentioning the importance of where the listener is from. This piece should be listened to, and not labeled. It is conceived fro the Electro-Acoustic Concert Envir… more

Vision

Description: This artwork was entirely created on the Fairlight IIX series. Complex sound sequences were produced by tracing the strong individual shapes of some of the 32 natural harmonics by means of a light pen; these were then played on the polyphonic keyboard of the instrument, which was tuned for different equal microtonal and macrotonal subdivisions of the octave, and recorded by the computer sequencer (in the same way as with a recorder digital tape). Finally, these sequences were most often replaye… more
