Description
The Stone Circle uses a wide variety of sound materials from real sound recordings, electronic syntheses, or combinations of both. We cover a wide range from simple to complex, real to artificial. The juxtapositions and contrasts made among this diversity constitute the main source of the movement of the work. Much of the main material was derived from records of two large concrete slabs, whose somewhat hollow resonances were separated by a tone. These resonances, among others - whether natural, underlined or electronically tuned - give rise to simple height structures. In particular, emerging from contrasting contexts, two fully electronic …

Much of the main material was derived from records of two large concrete slabs, whose somewhat hollow resonances were separated by a tone. These resonances, among others - whether natural, underlined or electronically tuned - give rise to simple height structures. In particular, emerging from contrasting contexts, two fully electronic progressions, one of which is a simple transposition of the other, articulate directions and gradations of movement or rest. The piece was composed in 1988 at the Electroacoustic Music Studio of the University of Birmingham.
