Arras

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

Asi el Acero

Aw/wW

Description: Recording of Miloš Petrović's Aw/wW ("Anton with-without Webern") for tape, interpreted by Ruža Petrović, Paul Pignon, and Miloš Petrović.

Below the Walls of Jericho

Description: The title is only a loose reference to the story in the Bible. What interests me about the story is the idea of a large mass of people knocking down a wall through the use of sound. The story gives credence to the notion of music as a catalyst for social change. Beyond the sheer physical impact that a large number of sounds contain, the music is a form of language which is capable of creating thoughts. The power of music lies in the simultaneous physical and intellectual seduction of the listen… more
