Androgyny

Description: Recording of Barry Truax's Androgyny, a spatial environment with four computer-synthesized soundtracks. The sound construction is based on ideas about an acoustic polarity, namely "harmonic" and "inharmonic," or alternatively, "consonance" and "dissonance." These concepts are not opposed, but instead, are related in ways that show that a continuum exists between them, such as in the middle of the piece when harmonic timbres slowly "pull apart" and become increasingly dissonant at the peak inten… more

Aubade

Description: Recording of Sandra L. Tjepkema's Aubade.
