Anaconda

Description: "Anaconda" could be labelled as a "naturalistic" work. Conceptually, the piece relies on the imagery provoked by the sound, and on the immediacy of the sound world and the integration of the flute part in terms of sound texture and musical material. Broadly, this work can be divided in three parts: 1) The very beginning represents the location : jungle, unfamiliar, exotic, moist, exuberant and very importantly, claustrophobic ( this last is maintained throughout the piece). It is here that we… more

Anamorphées

Description: "Anamorphées" was made entirely from a single instrument (saxophone) of five seconds, processed in computer delayed time. The basic instrumental sequence is presented, isolated before the play for the jury. The use of a reduced original material makes it possible to carry out a real "genetic" work of sound and musical development where each stage of treatment is an opening towards other possible ones. From mutations to successive mutations, the resulting sound objects are diversified, progressi… more

...and even the stone would cry

Description: The composition is a meditative work based on the cantability of basic instrumental materials - fragments of melodic and harmonic structures of a cello part - transformed by the vocoder, the digital sound processor, the equalizer and so on. It clearly shows the author's desire to establish a relationship between these "thematic materials" ostentatious timpani and dynamising structures synthetically created.

...And the River Passes...

Description: "Acufeni" are auditory phenomena: hearing buzzings or hisses that are not outside but inside ear. Briefly: one cannot stop these sounds anyway. So, nearly all the sounds in thie piece are long, dark, and static. A "pedal" bass tone goes from beginning to end; throughout the 10 minutes, it raises its pitch very slightly from E-flat to A-flat (approximately 1/2 tone each two minutes). Either sounds make different episodes; sometimes, these episodes are based upon contrasts. More frequently upon r… more

And Then She Said

Description: The concept of "And Then She Said" evolved while I was working on the music for the production of "Medea-Plays" conceived and directed by Ed Isser at the Stanford Drama department. Ed had the ingenious idea to use four narrators, backstage, each reciting a different version of the Medea story in a different language (Greek, Latin, French, or German), while four actors on the center stage spoke in English. The rich musical possibilities that this idea offered attracted me immediately. With Ed's … more

Andromeda

Description: It is a mixed piece for percussion and electroacoustic support. This one was realized in 1984 at the Berlin Technical University Studio with technical assistance from Folkmar Hein. The CD interpretation is performed by percussionist Martin Schulz. From a formal point of view, the piece divides into two different parts. The first is a permanent game on acceleratins, with the evolutions of a serious bell-shaped sound as alternative of speech. The second feeds on the musical gestures of the first,… more

Anguish in Lebanon

Description: In this piece, the digitally constructed voices, 13th root of 3.14 tuning and distorted piano all combine to create a sonic field at first curious and finally frightening. It is the composer's intention to bring to mind not only the anguish of interminable war but the ambiguities of life for those whose mother country is so afflicted.

Antiphonae

Description: Was initially conceived as vocal music for two choirs, however the computer realization, which I prepared in 1987, took over from this first conception and resulted in a piece that would be hard to define. A11 the sounds have been synthesized. They originated by direct sound synthesis on the WAX/EMS computer using the CHANT program. These sounds created in the first two minutes of the piece. The sounds for the subsequent 12 minutes which form a kind of variations, are transformations of the ori… more

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

The polyphonic superposition of the layer respects the tone Beatles's tone according to the sensitivity of the composer.

Arcanum uses tone pitches given in frequencies in bound positions from 50 to 5,000 Hz. Couples of random numbers limited by the interval from a major second to three octaves became the fir… more
