Recording William Ortiz's 124 E 170th St. (for electronic tape, narrator, and percussion). It is a mixed electroacoustic work depicting the Puerto Rican urban experiences the United States: the struggle against the agony of the ghetto and against the imposition of a crushing colonial state of mind. The piece is a summons to awake from the broken English dream and assume the Puerto Rican and Latin American essence that belongs to us. The text was written by two Puerto Rican poets living in New Y…

Recording of Terry Setter's 950 for Bob. He describes this style of composition as "focusless music," which is structured in such a way that the listener always hears an undifferentiated sound continuum, making the smallest changes noticeable. The title refers to the length of the piece (950 seconds) and to Robert Ericksson, to whom the piece is dedicated.

Recording of Trevor Wishart's Anticredos performed by Trevor Wishart. It is a live-performance piece for six amplified voices using extended vocal techniques, but no electronic modification of the voices. The piece, commissioned by the English group "Singcircle," takes the word "Credos" and slowly dissolves and changes its sound-constituents through processes of gradual transformation. This recording is a studio version of the piece "sung" entirely by the composer.

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…

Recording of Daniel Arfib's L'approche de la lumière ("The Approach of the Light"). The piece functions as much as a sound experiment on the resonance of the vibrations as of sound as a concert piece. For the entire listening experience, pay particular attention to the quality of the silence before and after the performance.

Description:
Recording of Barry Truax's Arras for four computer-synthesized soundtracks. Arras refers metaphorically to the heavy wall hanging or tapestry originally produced in the French town of the same name. The threads running through the material form both a background and, when colored, a foreground pattern as well, even when they are the same thread. 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…

Recording of Teresa Rampazzi's Atmen noch. After many months of researching the relationships between harmonic or better harmonic spectra, this piece was the result of that research. This research was done jointly with Rampazzi's student Maria Luisa Bon. The form of the work is sets of stamps and association between them and a Grecian-inspired Cantus Firmus. The groups are figurations of galaxies out of time.

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.

Description:
Recording of Reed Holmes's Chalumeau Rain. The piece demonstrates the composer's concept of music as sound flow (a texture existing in time and space). For this reason, many of the clarinet sounds assume a gestural/electronic character. Chalumeau is a lyric expression of the electronic medium. 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…

Recording of Frank Nuyts's "Chile" from Un pais arrellanado por los Andes. It is the first part of the larger work. The second piece is entitled "1973, algunos testimonios." "Chile" is a kind of descriptive characteristic prelude, evoking the country-side with its Cordillera of the Andes but also with its sad and immense plains. The piece was realized in 1980 in the studio of the Institute for Systematic Musicology (IPEM) using Synthi 100.
