Quadratwellenklangwurst

Description: Recording of Martin Sierek's Quadratwellenklangwurst. The piece is based on micro-intervals through the use of square-wave oscillations. These exact intervals were only achievable with a digital rectangle generator. In the composition, the higher pitched parts of the two harmonies are fed to the cohesive basic tones and a whole sound becomes a glittering sound spectacle. The intervals and the number of individual rectangles constantly increase during the composition and generate acoustic phenom… more

Music for two flutes and tape

Tremola impressao

Description: Recording of Rodolfo Caesar's Tremola impressao. This piece is a mix of disparate languages: instrumental music, sounds of nature and electroacoustic music, resulting in a different kind of electroacoustic music. The material originates from earlier works, not always Caesar's, but manipulated to make it different. He tried to make useful the sounds that were condemned trash; without any comparison with "Fontana Mix" by John Cage

Son recif

Description: Recording of Jacqueline Ozanne's "Son recif" for voice and tape.

Dictée

Description: Recording of Bernard Gagnon's Dictée for tape. The majority of the material was executed in real time. The instruments used are voice, a pencil, and also a few oscillator sounds. An oscillator provided a wave that was delayed by tape, and then turned into a voltage to modulate the early sound: a self-modulating delay loop. The piece is a reflection on the anxiety of first learning to write as well as on the degrees of the distances of the writing. The dictation comes from a loudspeaker, while t… more
