Microstructures

Description: Recording of Włodzimierz Kotoński's Microstructures. This piece utilizes sections of fragmented tape to create a montage of sound layers in very dense structures.

These sounds recorded on magnetic tape were cut, melted, and glued randomly into random sequences from which loops of different length were formed and copied onto a layer which finally resulted in this desirable … more

Combinaisons en cercles

Doppelrohr II

Description: Recording of Bengt Hambraeus' Doppelroho II. The title indicates that Hambraeus has used as his basic material the range of tones produced by an organ.
