Alternances

Description: Recording of Patrick Lenfant's Alternances. Alternances explores a different aspect of other synthesizer pieces that I have previously composed. The synthesizer is used here as a generator of as varied an electronic material as possible. This material and its temporal articulation, instead of being definitively fixed on a magnetic support, will evolve according to the instrumentalist. Indeed, this one has two control pedals, piloting the synthesizer and allowing it to make coincide its playing … more

...and even the stone would cry

Description: The composition is a meditative work based on the cantability of basic instrumental materials - fragments of melodic and harmonic structures of a cello part - transformed by the vocoder, the digital sound processor, the equalizer and so on. It clearly shows the author's desire to establish a relationship between these "thematic materials" ostentatious timpani and dynamising structures synthetically created.

Aya

Description: A recording of Chiaki Takatsuki's Aya. Waves of electronic sound twisted like threads are twisted little by little. First, a dynamic scene, making use of the revolving sound image. At the end, space of tranquility. A gyrating sound was made from the original circuit, based on two controlled amplifiers (voltage). One can find a circular sound not a circumference but in front of or behind the audience.

Brown Rice

Description: This piece was composed in 1982 with a Buchla 200 analog system and with a multi-track mix to produce a basic texture. A byte of curly bands with soprano voices was assembled and subsequently played by the computer using a keyboard. This gave linear and pointillistic contrasts with the harsh sounds electronically.

Circulos Fosforescentes en fondo negro

Description: Recording of Ricardo Mandolini's "Circulos Fosforescentes en fondo negro" ("Phosphorescent circles on a black background). The piece results from a numerical ideology of probability and determination because of the program used to create it. The title refers to the number of quadraphonic space moves that occur in the piece. It was composed in 1982 at Studio EMS in Stockholm, Sweden. The piece received a Honorary Mention from the Electroacoustic Music Festival Luigi Russolo in Varese, Italy in 1… more

Clair de lune artificiel

Description: Recording of Floris van Manen's "Clair de lune artificiel" ("Artificial moonlight"). It is music of silence, space and time. The transparency of the texture could be associated with the monochrome blue color. Van Manen used a hybrid system to create the piece, using a combination of analog and digital techniques. It consists of three superimposed layers, each having a number of resonance points in the sound spectrum whose total energy remains equal, but which continually change place and intens… more

Clepsydre

Description: Clepsydra is part of this vast acousmatic fresco made of steps forward and back on the first works. Composed in this last idea, this piece is the second movement of the 1st Grimoire of the "acoustic illusion", not created until tonight, devoted to the element water. The 2nd Grimoire (1982) was born before the complete creation of the 1st Grimoire. The first purification of the material therefore took place before the shaping of the initial material. However, thanks to the evolution of the exper… more

Concertino pour Saxophone Soprano

Description: This concertino was commissioned by Belgrade Radio and was also composed in Belgrade and is dedicated to Paul Pignon. The saxophone part at the beginning of the piece is composed quite precisely which means that we have to play everything as if it's written down. Later the sound material becomes only half sketched in note which will mean that the performer will have to rhythm, phrase and modulate dynamically. In the end there is only a text program, which is necessary, what can happen eventuall… more

The electric sinfonia

Description: Recording of Barton Mac Lean's The Electric Sinfonia. Sound Sources come from a string orchestra and the music for a chamber piano. The basic instrument used is the "FCMI." The expressive range of the ideas of the piece are important, raising the range from an extremely violence to an obsessive beauty. The duality of character is the thread of all the work.

Elegie

Description: The literary material of this piece is composed of Psalm 29 (verse 11) and the last words of the homily of Pope John Paul II of the solemn Mass on the Victory Square in Warsaw in June 1979. In the music the composer benefits greatly from the electronic sounds of the Moog synthesizer. The construction of the Elegy is repetitive and takes the form of the form of litanies. The invocations of the priest according to the composer bear the character of a speech with God. At the same time we pray for… more

It is the first in a series of works aiming to extend the sound quality of certain live-instruments.
