Lyric Density I

Description: Recording of James Needles's Lyric Density I. This piece is the first in a series of three works which explore the development of density from a steady-state sound into a more defined lyric and linear statement. In this initial movement, short and abrupt crescendos promote areas of high attack density often veiled by a continuous foreground or background sound.

Merchants

Description: Recording of Mark Schubert's Merchants. This piece is a progression from single isolated events to total unification of all sounds. The method of doing so involved simple mixings of the different sounds (first individually presented), extending the events with loops, rapidly splicing different timbres together, and finally using tape echo, blending all the sounds into a climactic ending.

Mimoïde

Description: Recording of Emmanuel Van Weerst's Mimoïde. As written by the composer: "It is only rarely that I approach a theme music like "Mimoïde": an intelligent and gentle ocean seeks to please humans by imitating their thoughts, desires, situations, shapes... It lacks virility and misses its intentions. Its final dive becomes a human tragedy: spinning emotions become inexpressible, the artifice of "Mimoïde" becomes sobbing. Note: the intensification of low frequencies. Train the listener in a horizonta… more

Mountains

Description: The composition Mountains for Bass Clarinet and Magnetic Stripe, written in 1977, is in all likelihood in a new stylistic development of the composer. It is especially the conception of musical duration that has changed. Thus I was surprised to find that the duration of this work - estimated at a few minutes during the work - finally turned out to extend to almost twenty minutes. This can be explained in part by the long haul of most musical events, and by a large number of multilevel rehearsal… more

De onbesuijsde steenhoop

Description: Recording of Kees Van Prooijen's De onbesuijsde steenhoop. "De onbesuijsde steenhoop" was completed on March 30, 1977. The overall structure of the piece can be described as an introduction followed by variations on a theme. The introduction that occupies more than half of the work is composed in a free style, my first subject of interest being how the computer manufactures the sound and how this sound is perceived. The variations are the result of an analysis-synthesis process executed by the … more

Rothko

They have a fundamental common interest in the color of sound. The work evolves from an extra-musical point of view: my interest for painters of colorful American plans, in particular Newman and Rothko. Bot… more
