Basilica

Description: The work is based entirely on the bells of the Basilica in Quebec City as recorded by the World Soundscape Project at Simon Fraser University during a cross-country tour in 1973. The three bells are heard at their original pitch, as well as an octave lower and a twelfth higher, but all of these versions are stretched in time, often to twenty or more times their original duration. The extended versions allow the listener to hear out the inner harmonics inside the bells, and in moving inside the … more

Tierra Caliente

Description: Recording of Wlodzimierz Kotonski's Tierre Caliente. For this piece the recorded sonic material was put through a series of digital treatments. The material is based entirely on sounds from nature: whistling of the wind, chirping of crickets, croaking of frogs, the voices of birds, the voices of other living beings, including the thunder of falling stones and even a volcano erupting. The title Tierra Caliente (in Spanish "hot earth") is meant to evoke heat waves in tropical regions, and is the … more

Adventus

Description: Recording of Milan Slavicky's Adventus. The main source of inspiration for this composition was a Czech liturgical tune from Renaissance times which used to be sung during Advent. Its unusual melodic form and great poetic quality inspired a bow-formed composition which uses mostly different vocal phrases of this song, an imitation of an organ sound and finally a tower bell transposed into lower and lower register.

Recollections n°1

Description: Recording of Tamas Ungvary's Recollections n°1. The tension is obvious during the introduction where sheer inner aggression pounds the listener by means of sonic noise bursts. During the subsequent piano sections the irritation remains, the unsettled rhythms, the apparent harmonicity becoming increasingly dissonant until the next burst. It was the quiet in the internal storm which never ends. Ungvary has created a moving piece. May he never reach Zen. The sound material was produced with UPIC s… more

Voo

Description: Recording of alcides lanza's Voo. The lyrics of this composition are primarily in Portuguese, but the composer specifically chose to play with the source material, basing lyrics on poems which appear in NO OUVIDO DO TEMPO/NO OLVIDO DO TEMPO, a remarkable book of poetry by the Brazilian poet and composer Gil Nuno Vaz. Special acknowledgement is given to the Brazilian poet Raul de Leoni (1895-1926), since Gil Nuno Vaz integrated into his own poems some lines from an unpublished book by de Leoni, … more

Scherzo

Description: Recording of Andrew Lewis' Scherzo. The composer took recording of his three daughters voices together with some musical toys, which makes up the main source material. In their untransformed states these two pools of material form the poles of the work between which the music voyages over a variety of routes. Occasionally the journey is straightforward, children transforming directly into toys or vice versa, but more often the music follows a more meandering path, passing through transitory, e… more

Apparent horizon

Description: Recording of Maggi Payne's Apparent horizon. This was an attempt to convey an aural impression of the sensations. Sound sources consisted of transmissions from/through space and were from Space Shuttle and Apollo missions, satellite transmissions, and shortwave radio broadcasts. Often the composer chose sections that were full of static and distortion - signals which were reaching unintelligibility. There are Morse Code "crickets" at Bryce Canyon and static "rain" at the Canyonlands. Processing… more

Trees

Description: Recording of Frances White's Trees. For two violins, viola, and tape. This work is made up of three movements and contains very long, quiet sustained notes in the strings and processed recorded piano sounds in the tape. The initial idea for this piece was to make a composition for tape and string instruments in which the strings would extend the decay portions of the tape sounds. The sound the wind makes in trees, and about the way they exist in time: we tend to think of trees in terms of space… more

Rituellipses

Description: Recording of Stephan Dunkelman's Rituellipses. Rituellipses is music of "sounds in movement," made by and for dance. The sonic objects, made from fragments of concrete or instrumental musical patterns, are pulled as if by centrifugal force. They follow each other in continuous rotational movements that only silence can suspend. These studies of trajectory combinations are developed in short movements that are alternately lively, calm, restrained or uninhibited. Equilibrium had been achieved whe… more

Ear-Music

Description: Recording of László Dubrovay's Ear-Music. The piece was written for the chamber ensemble EAR. One of the 3 digital synthesizers uses its own sounds, the other 2 being modulated by an analog synthesizer. The trumpet sounds are modified in the same way using a microphone. It is thus possible to carry out very interesting transformations on the stamps. These new sounds and sound processors build the musical language. The melody, consisting of oscillating sounds after various transformations, devel… more
