Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Description: Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with o… more

Arras

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Arras for four computer-synthesized soundtracks.

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

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.

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
