This collection of pieces were inspired by the ADC (American Deserters Committee), a group of American soldiers that found sanctuary in Sweden after deserting the American army during the Vietnam war.

Little Boy
Recording of Jean-Claude Risset's Little Boy computer suite for tape. The piece draws on various sound synthesis experiences that I did between 1964 and 1968, working with Max Mathews at Bell Laboratories. These experiences are described in particular in my 1969 sound catalog, which presents a recording of various synthesized sounds with the synth "scores" of these sounds: these scores are both production recipes and exhaustive descriptions of the sound. microstructure of sounds, just as a score describes the combination of various sounds. The Suite is part of a music composed for the play Little Boy by Pierre Halet (Editions du Seuil, Paris 1968), music which also includes vocal and instrumental sections. The theme of the play is the bombing of Hiroshima, relived through the fantasies of pilot Eatherly. In the Suite, the action is condensed into three parts. During the first, Flight and Countdown, the dream of the flight to Hiroshima is accompanied by moving textures, pierced by two fugitive episodes (jazz, gong) then the countdown of the bomb drop, chanted with the rigor of a metronome. In the second part, Chute, the sound travels among various rockets in the great circles of an indefinite descent: indeed the pilot identifies with the bomb, whose code name is Little Boy, and the fall is imaginary, in a bottomless psychic space. In the third part, Contre-apotheose, previous elements reappear to disintegrate: the jazz band becomes a burst of machine guns, the flute and the gong mutate into sirens which accumulate while spinning, then unravel in memory. This piece, produced in 1968 at the Bell Laboratories, is one of the first substantial works produced entirely by computer: all the sounds of the piece were synthesized using the MUSIC V program (CF. Mathews et al., 1969).
