Humpty Dumpty's Unfortunate Diversion

Description: Recording of David Arzouman's Humpty Dumpty's Unfortunate Diversion. This common nursery rhyme from Mother Goose is a variation of one of the oldest and most universal stories on earth. Its curious images, seemingly nonsensical, work as profound symbols. Humpty is a personified egg. This represents the potential birth of each individual’s higher spiritual faculties. To be on top of a wall is to be equipoised between the various worldly dualities. The image of a fallen, shattered egg is an … more

Chants Sphériques

Description: Recording of Patrick Ascione's Chants Sphériques. This work exploits the mobility and successive metamorphoses of characteristic spatial figures. The sounds move according to various configurations specific to their meaning, but also inside these "frames of spaces" already in motion, or sometimes even outside these frames. Sound is therefore here to space, what color is to form for the painter. Original version is for 16 speakers.

Acéré

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acéré. The intention was to create a piece about war. Different object sounds were recorded in the studio, to have a wider palette of percussion sounds. The idea is that these percussions gradually change. As in the repetition of a 'kata', a movement sequence in martial arts, the concentration becomes more intense and the sounds increasingly sharp, by playing on the harmonics they contain. To give a feeling of space to this movement, transformed soundscapes create an … more

Le soir, la vent, la mer

Description: Recording of Michele Biasutti's Le soir, la vent, la mer. This work is for flute and signal processing. In the piece the flute was utilized to produce aeolian sounds. In the formal organization of the piece the timbre has a primary role. As in a game, the flute sounds are masked by the signal processing and only at the end of the work it is possible to hear the real sound of the flute in a condition of aleatory harmony in which the instrument produces chords of harmonics.

Do it again

Description: Recording of Thomas Bjelkeborn's, Do it again. The compositional work uses breaking dried out tree branches, which are heavily processed with electronic techniques. This sound file has been transformed over and over and with sound mutation and has been split in various sounding directions. This piece uses transformations which are similar to partly human gestures controlling the changes. The resulting sound files were cut, spliced and mixed in a canonic form where the original sound file length… more

On yer nose

Description: Recording of Thomas Bjelkeborn's On yer nose. Instead of synthesizing a lot of material, one tiny concrete material is used as a starting point. From this the composer developed a series of sounds and transformations which they tried to keep close to the original sound and the behavior of that sound in its original context. Through various mixing processes borderline materials are created on the verge to more consistent contexts, but very much related to the original material and to what that m… more
