7 excerpts from "visual haïku"

Description: Recording of Warren Burt's 7 excerpts from "visual haïku". "Visual Haiku" was a set of 16 computer pieces made for Robert Randall's "Visual Haiku" project in 1994.

Each of the "Visual Haiku" used algorithmic processes to assemble music which loudly and proudly proclaimed bad taste and slavish obeisance to commercial musical models, in keeping with the neo-Warholian aes… more

15° harmonico

Description: Recording of Rodrigo Cicchelli Velloso's 15° harmonico. For harmonica, piano, and tape. This piece develops a series of variations of the initial piano sequence.

Within the tropical forest, psittacine, quickly show their invasion of acoustic space with repetitive and annoying messages.

3b

Description: Recording of Ioannis Kalantzis' 3b. The composer used the bassoon in a rather post-classical way. The composer also used characteristics, which functions as a point of reference, by replacing a melodic subject with a single minor 3rd interval. Furthermore, the sentimental content that an interval expresses was explored. Such as, a minor 3rd (with a grace note-pattern), while giving different colorings around the content of this interval. The electroacoustic material comes entirely from bassoon … more

About Howard Johnson/Affirmative

Description: Recording of Joshua Fried's About Howard Johnson/Affirmative. This work uses MIDI in unusual ways. Sound modules become a silent controller of analog gates, and continuous controllers manipulate digital processors in real time. When channel gates are triggered at an even rate, one obtains the well-known strobe effect of slowing down, stopping or even reversing the apparent motion of a rotating object. As trigger cycle and loop cycle move out of phase, bits of sound seem to wander from speaker … more

Accidents two: Sound projections

Description: Recording of Larry Austin's Accidents two: Sound projections. For piano and computer music. This work extends and substances the original compositional and real-time performance approach from an earlier work. There is an open form, invoking highly evolved improvisational formats and extends the musico-technical resources from the live electronics piece towards hypermedia and subsumes the actual sounds from the original work.

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

Acetone

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acetone. It was created essentially from sounds representative of landscapes and festivities in Haute-Savoie, this piece explores the limits of the possibilities of sound mutation. The idea is to exaggerate certain acoustic characteristics, to better control the expressiveness of these sound objects, but without losing their original nature. Thus, the listener is projected into a lyrical world, while measuring the gap that separates him from real sources that can ofte… more

El Adios

Description: A very short but important piece. It was the last composition produced in our old studio (the one offered by the Di Tella Institute that you visited at CICMAT in 1974). The pointillistic piece and its editing is done exclusively by means of tape bonding and sounds from the Arpe 2600. Pozzati, in my opinion, is our best talent. He made his song as a farewell to the old studio which is now replaced by two NeXT machines. He is now one of the people working with the new programs at LISP, in use wit… more
