Par la fenêtre entrouverte

Description: Recording of Bruno d'Auzon's Par la fenêtre entrouverte, “After which I watched through the open window that the number of clouds does not come to exceed what I can grip in the loop of my arms.” This piece, of model variation articulation, draws its basic materials in the four types of sound sources generally used in the electroacoustic composition (concert sounds, electronic sounds, musical instruments, human voice). The initial sampling, however, remains voluntarily restricted within each of … more

À cordes perdues

Description: Recording of Francis Dhomont's À cordes perdues. This work was premiered on August 11, 1977 at the Saint Rémy de Provence Festival by bassist Henri Texier; it is, in fact, at the origin of a mixed music. Inspired by the album "AMIR" by Henri Texier (Eurodisc 913002), it borrows materials, groups, and objects, and proposes to send back an "electroacoustic reflection". During the concert, H. Texier improvised on the tape: reception and/or incentive for the instrumentalist; three-dimensional game … more

Diamant

Description: Recording of John Elmsly's Diamant. This piece was composed in 1977, using a Flemish poem written and read by Chris Dries as text.

Shadow Music

Description: Recording of Ross Harris's Shadow Music. In “Shadow Music” a single sound source (an orchestral chord) is used to generate all the materials and sonority of the piece. The work is in one movement in which the source undergoes continual transformation through speed changes, modulation, and filtering. Devices used to make the work: 1.) Variable speed tape playback. 2.) Filters: EMS SynthiA, universal filter, graphic equalizer 3.) Ring modulation 4.) Tape recorders: Ampex 2 track Nagra stereo, 2… more

Grundgesetze III

Description: Recording of Max E. Keller's Grundgesetze III. "Grundgesetze III" is the third part of a six-part work begun in 1975. Sections I and IV were realized as orchestral pieces. Lyrically, the work is based on the confrontation of ideology (for example, the constitution, that is, the "Basic Law" of the FRG [Federal Republic of Germany]) and the reality of bourgeois society. In "Grundgesetze III" the federal government processes a text about the so-called social market economy, while two other speake… more

Theme and Variations

Description: Recording of Arthur Kreiger's Theme and Variations. This piece was not only composed at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, but also in its image. The timbral qualities are very thick and defined; the rhythms like an epileptic machine gunner and the pitches right out of another decade.

Cercles vicieux

Description: Recording of Fernando Lafferrière's Cercles vicieux. The title "Vicious Circles" is an allusion to the technical means used: the electronic feedback considered as a vicious circle in an amplifier. The piece, in its ternary section, is of a very simple formal conception; in the alternation of movements, moderate-slow-vivid, almost traditional. Brief introduction Intense fluctuating background, extended acute line, all punctuated by percussive elements. Sounding color serene, tender and fresh; S… more

Les inventeures

Description: Recording of Rune Lindblad's Les inventeures. The composition is based upon a poem of the French writer Réné Chars (“Les Inventeures” from “Les Matinaux”). Especially the relationships between freedom and discipline, cognizance and action, and other items like solitariness and community, have been important when shaping the piece, which have resulted in the creation of voice fragments, solo or chorus, mixed with inarticulate screams and stifled exclamations.

Taksim

Description: Recording of Frank Royon Le Mée's Taksim. In the 16th century, European lutenists, heir to the technique of the “oud” (oriental lute ancestor), in which improvisation is dominant, wrote so-called "unmeasured preludes." In the 17th century, harpsichordists and organists imitated them; notes, initial materials, presented in the form of soft melodic lines, were proposed by the composer and thus appeared on the score, but without any rhythmic value. The interpreter could and should model, reshape, … more

Mimoïde

Description: Recording of Emmanuel Van Weerst's Mimoïde. As written by the composer: "It is only rarely that I approach a theme music like "Mimoïde": an intelligent and gentle ocean seeks to please humans by imitating their thoughts, desires, situations, shapes... It lacks virility and misses its intentions. Its final dive becomes a human tragedy: spinning emotions become inexpressible, the artifice of "Mimoïde" becomes sobbing. Note: the intensification of low frequencies. Train the listener in a horizonta… more

Sweet Jesus and the Honkies

Description: Recording of Reynold Weidenaar's Sweet Jesus and the Honkies. “Sweet Jesus and the Honkies” is ideally meant to be listened to several times in a non-reverberant environment. The piece makes use of recording techniques which enhance the sound, giving it a feeling of depth and spaciousness. By design, these techniques also reduce the intelligibility of the spoken word. Much of the spoken source material for this piece was only moderately intelligible to begin with. The words as they now stand be… more
