Recording of Ondřej Adámek's Un souffle, une Ombre, un rien. This is the composer's first electroacoustic composition and includes various concrete sounds that have been both untouched and transformed.
Recording of Mihail Afanasiev's SBA. This is a work for electronics and is the first composition recorded by a method called "Transformational technology or new dramaturgy". Sound structures by A. Skryabin, "Beatles", and the composer are used.
Recording of César Daniel Alarcón's Calvario. This work started as an exploration of sound sources from everyday life. The composer recorded various items while walking through his house and due to their strong identity, found he could barely transform them, and so their original sounds were kept throughout the work.
Recording of Elizabeth Anderson's Ether. This is an octophonic electroacoustic work and was commissioned by Musique & Recherches in Belgium. The sound samples used were created both during a residency at the "Centre de Création Musicale Iannis Xenakis" as well as sounds from a trip to Isreal. The composer dedicates this work to victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Recording of Miguel Azguime's O ar do texto opera a forma do som interior. The composer describes this as a sound poetry stage work for a speaker/actor. This piece is made of 4 sections that follow each other without interruption and have the following subtitles: "Ar do Texto" (the Air in the Text), "Formant-Melodies", "Sem Recurso" (Without Resources), and "O Som Interior" (the Inner Sound). Although there are some spoken words in Portuguese, most of the text is meaningless and was written as sound compositions.
Recording of Miguel Azguime's Derrière son double. The idea for this piece revolves around traveling between the two sound worlds of acoustics and electronics. The sound material from the computer is doing real time FFT analysis in order to interact with the acoustic instruments for sound processing. This work was composed for the Ensemble Recherche from Freiburg where it also premiered and was commissioned by "Casa da Música".
Recording of Bret Battey's Retrocoagulant Vox. This work was created for bass trombone and computer-realized sound. It was commissioned by trombonist, Chad Kirby, whose extended trombone techniques presented both a unique opportunity and a distinct challenge. The composer's method was to develop the computer part and the trombone part in parallel in a multi-track sound editor.
Recording of Roald Baudoux's La violence (mix2). This short piece was composed for the Phonurgia Nova 2001 competition the rules of which stated that at least one extract of a radio library provided by the organizers had to be included in the composition. The record that grabbed the composer's attention was one that included words by French writer, Jean-Paul Sartre: "La violence est la seule chose qui reste, quel que soit le système". The composer used this question of violence to inspire the rest of the piece.
Recording of David Behar's Connecte. For electronics. This works uses sound to take the listener on a sonic journey full of differing sound textures and both high and low impact moments. There is also moments of pre-recorded sound which is kept unprocessed and contrast the synthetic sound.
Recording of Jean-Louis Belmonte's Electronic Sun. This work was inspired by the weakening of the ozone layer and the new electronic replacements being built around the world to protect from the sun's radiation.
Recording of Bruno Bernard's Emotions de guerre. This work is a sound representation of what the composer imagines could have happened in an underground military shelter during WWII. The various sound materials explore different aspects of the situation, both above ground and under it.
Recording of Marie-Hélène Bernard's Dans les plis de la caverne. This is a work for tuba and fixed mediums. The composer references poet, Henri Michaux, when describing the thought process behind this composition. The composer was especially inspired by the poem "Le Grand Violon" where the violin is described as a "violin-giraffe".
Recording of Pierre Bernard's Spanda. The composer was inspired to write this piece after experiencing and dreaming of new worlds beyond Earth under the Shaivism tradition of "Spanda". In this work, the composer describes one of the worlds he has crossed during his journey.
Recording of Paolo Besagno's Allegro Moderabile. This work consists of train sounds and the voice of the composer's grandpa, to whom the piece is dedicated. The composer states that this work is a short story of a man who has spent 40 years of his life watching his country through the windows of a train. The title of the work is the combination of musical term, Allegro, and the Italian word, moderabile, which refers to a train's braking system.
Recording of Paolo Besagno's In purissima luce. The composer states that this work is a requiem for his friend, Franco Nocentini, and comes from the image of his friend feeling free and joyful.
Recording of Kari Besharse's Small things. This work acts as a sound metaphor for the impact that small events have on our lives. The sound materials included in this piece consist of nature sounds, including the native frogs and insects of Austin, Texas.
Recording of Marc Beugnies' Incidences et Réflexions sur la naissance d'une Etoile. This work is based on the principle of a correspondence between astrophysics and sound art. It evokes the birth of a star comparable to the sun and follows the timeline of its evolution in space.
Recording of Marc Beugnies' Naissance d'une Etoile. For electronics. The heart of the system is based on an arbitrarily postulated equivalence between the ten octaves of the audible acoustic domain and the octave of the electromagnetic waves in the visible. Thus, the spectrum of the star at each of its stages of formation has been converted into sound frequencies, from the limit of infrasound (corresponding to infrared) to that of ultrasound (corresponding to ultraviolet).
Recording of Laura Bianchini's Nell'aria o sulla terra?. This is a work for sound pipe, flute, and live electronics. It is based on the dialectic of alternation of two elements: earth and air, matter and spirit, breath and sound. The transformation of the coarse sound of the pipes to the well tuned sound of the flute is the result of a process obtained with electronic devices controlled by the performer and pre-recorded electronic sound sequences.
Recording of Michele Biasutti's Toy Story. Toy Story is a sound travel in the world of the toys and transformation. The piece would stimulate the ability to discover imaginary toy worlds, with the tracks that people can find in the collective memory. The toy sounds were signal processed by computer with elaboration such as pitch shift, stretching, filtering and distortion. The composition proposes a new semantic dimension of the toy sounds, utilizing a perceptual game between the new framework and the memory abilities that evoke the original sounds.
Recording of Michèle Biasutti's Transitori. This is a work for double bass and signal processing. This work explores the different sound possibilities of the string instrument and attempts to simulate the timbre of other instruments using only sounds from the double bass. The sounds of both the electronics and bass should be equal in volume, with the double bass being amplified by microphone.
Recording of Lars Gunnar Bodin's Gunnar. This work is the complement to another piece titled "Anna" which was named after the composer's mother. "Gunnar" is dedicated to the composer's father. The composer states that these compositions are not musical portraits of his parents but rather a way to honor their memory.
Recording of Rainer Boesch's Une petite création d'un tout petit monde. The composer describes this work as an image of a small world in which different things are happening in every corner. This work consists of 4 tracks and has been separated into 2 stereo tracks and 2 stereo "cuts".
Recording of Jonas Broberg's Drawn from a Reality. This work was commissioned by The Swedish Radio Broadcasting Corporation of Stockholm, Sweden. The main sound material used in this work was derived from an automobile being pushed forward along a floor. This sound was then processed and used together with purely synthetic sounds. The title has to do with different meanings of the word "draw" as in "to take from" and to "compose a picture".
Recording of Leif Brush's Marsmoonsnatch. This work includes two movements: 'Marsmoonsnatch' and 'Marsmoonsnatch positioning'. The composer was inspired to create this work when hearing the plans of a Florida Professor to put a Mars moon in Earth's orbit. The composer compared this conceptual challenge to his own personal findings when it came to adjusting and learning new compositional techniques (most of which include nature and the environment).
Recording of Magdalena Buchwald's Angorum Catena. This is a work for electronics and was commissioned by the Experimental Studio of Polish Radio in Warsaw. This piece is dedicated to Krzysztof Szlifirski.
Recording of George Budd's The Industry of Opposition. The composer describes this work as a study in varying degrees of mediation and the effort to overcome it. The majority of the sound material in this piece was generated by manipulations of the vocal reading.
Recording of Yamil Burguener's Sal Shio. This is a work for electronics and includes some fragments of vocalizations. The composer describes this piece as being a work that "seems to unfold without a clear direction".
Recording of Ivana Busu's Naufragi. This work was created to pay tribute to an example of 80s pop music: Message in a Bottle by The Police.
