3 pièces pour double basse et bande

Description: Recording of Orlando Jacinto Garcia's 3 pièces pour double basse et bande. Was written for bassist Robert Black and completed in the summer of 1990. The tape part was made using the bass player's recordings of brief musical pieces (i.e. tremolos, harmonics...) which were then digitized by the composer, sometimes transforming and mixing the material in layers of sound. The second of the three pieces is characteristic of a genre of glissandos, register changes, and also long holds both on tape an… more

El Adios

Description: A very short but important piece. It was the last composition produced in our old studio (the one offered by the Di Tella Institute that you visited at CICMAT in 1974). The pointillistic piece and its editing is done exclusively by means of tape bonding and sounds from the Arpe 2600. Pozzati, in my opinion, is our best talent. He made his song as a farewell to the old studio which is now replaced by two NeXT machines. He is now one of the people working with the new programs at LISP, in use wit… more

Anch'io Sono Pittore

Description: Frequently, the motivations that push the composer to write a work are absolutely extramusical. Regarding this, the appetite to compose was aroused in me by the impression that produced me reading the sentence: "And I too am a painter" attributed to Corrège, who would have pronounced it in front of Raphael's 'Sainte Cécile' in Bologna.

Arcane 11

Description: The different sound materials of the work come from commercial synthesizers (DX7 / D50). The SAMI (Computer Assisted Music Support System), developed by Bernard Donzel-Gargand and Adrien Lefevre (IRCAM), allowed me to create this music. This instrument offers various access commands such as: - joy-sticks, - photocells, - pedals, who can each, according to our imagination, drive real-time music parameters (change of timbre, velocity, frequency according to modes, ranges, series, tempo, speed et… more

Arion ex Pascal

Description: This piece exploits a voluntarily limited sound material, opposing two types of sounds: long and very short sounds. This material was generated at the Pascal* studio of the CRFMW in Liège. To obtain an enlargement of the sound palette, the sounds once generated have been reworked at the Arion studio** of the same Research Center. Arion therefore produces no sound, it only affirms, punctuates, or rather nuance, modulate Pascal's statements. Each of the two studios is entrusted with a specific mu… more

Battimenti

Description: This work was done by means of an IBM Music Feature Card, installed in a PC computer. "Batimentos" is a study a single sound.

Because of their different rate, beatings are perceived as rhythm at lower frequencies, and as a roughness at high frequencies. Continuous changes in the detune procedure result in acceleration and deacceleration processes. The piece also explores density changes, and interaction between b… more

Les Bijoux de Cornelia

Description: Cornelia said to me, "Oh! this sound, I keep it - But it's mine! - Yes, but every time I hear a sound that I like, I put it aside for my collection, and I call these sounds my jewels ". I saw then in UPIC only a machine to draw or to geometrize the music. Cornelia, by her words, led me into a different mode. Imagining a very simple score, cutting into his living flesh and extracting a complex wave that could provide subtle timbres and dynamics, became a children's game surprised to manipulate i… more
