L'approche de la lumière

Arras

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Arras for four computer-synthesized soundtracks. Arras refers metaphorically to the heavy wall hanging or tapestry originally produced in the French town of the same name. The threads running through the material form both a background and, when colored, a foreground pattern as well, even when they are the same thread. In the piece there is a constant ambiguity between whether a component sound is heard as part of the background texture, or whether it is heard as a fo… more

Description: Recording of Teresa Rampazzi's Atmen noch. After many months of researching the relationships between harmonic or better harmonic spectra, this piece was the result of that research.

Ceremonias

Description: Recording of Lionel Filippi's Ceremonias. Starting from a basic idea (2 fragments of popular music from the North of Argentina) the work unfolds in various directions: the central idea evolving with interferences of certain elements which cut its continuity but do not distort his point: to relate totally opposite sounds both in terms of their origin (concrete, electronics, popular music) as well as their use and processing.

Chalumeau Rain

Description: Recording of Reed Holmes's Chalumeau Rain. The piece demonstrates the composer's concept of music as sound flow (a texture existing in time and space). For this reason, many of the clarinet sounds assume a gestural/electronic character. Chalumeau is a lyric expression of the electronic medium. The composer unites the live and electronic by using live clarinet sounds in the tape which have been manipulated by tape loops, reverb, phase shifting, reverse playback, amplitude modification and filter… more

Estallido Breve

Description: Recording of Ricardo Mandolini's Estallido Breve. The piece tries to develop in a progressive yet minimalistic way the repetition of a percussion sound, of which the tiniest variations are in the first few milliseconds of the attack. This attack always follows a long extinction, which is also affected by minute changes. The addition of a second kind of sound material, a perpetual crescendo/accelerando, contributes to the accentuation of the dramatic character of this ostinato. The ostinato ends… more

From Ipem with Love

Description: Recording of Frank Nuyts's From Ipem with Love for tape. The piece consists of three movements: the first movement acts as a game between articulated/static sound and silence; the second movement, a transition, uses silences that are evoked by sounding layers of sound; the third movement is an evocation of a carillon, in which silence and noise dominate more and more. It was realized in 1980 at the Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music studio using Synthi 100.

Fusion

Description: Recording of Serge Perron's Fusion. This piece was composed while Perron was studying electronic music with Alcides Lanza and Mariano Etkin at McGill University's electronic music studio. The tape part was entirely derived from ten piano sounds which were modified in various ways using "classical" electronic music studio techniques: loops, speed variation, equalization, playing backwards, and editing. The piano part calls for a new kind of virtuosity - that of staying tightly synchronized with … more
