Amanecer

Description: Recording of José Vicente Asuar's Amanecer. “Amanecer” is formally a very simple work. Through this and other works, I try to project the possibilities of electroacoustic music in a sonorous universe where harmonic intervals prevail and a formal concept not far from impressionism. For a long time I experienced, as other composers have, new possibilities of sound and structure, matter and musical form, with electroacoustic sounds. I have not abandoned the search, but I want to choose some things… more

Amanecer

Description: Recording of José Vicente Asuar's Amanecer. Amanecer is a formally very simple work. Through this and other works the composer projects the possibilities of electroacoustic music in a sound universe where harmonic intervals and a formal conceptualization not far from impressionism prevail. The rationale behind works like Amanecer is a break on the path of a creator. From a utilitarian point of view, Amanecer is intended as music for Ballet, as an introduction to some more breathtaking work that… more

Ambience

Description: Recording of Richard Orton's Ambience. Ambience for solo bass trombone and tape was written for the American Trombonist James Fulkerson and first performed by him in the Wigmore Hall, London, on 17 May 1975. He has since included the work in many recitals during his tours in Scandinavia, Canada and the USA. The title "Ambience" here refers to the imaginative sonic environment surrounding the sounds of the trombone, including the most "artificial," synthesized sounds, instrumental ensembles whic… more

Ambulator Memorensis

Description: Recording of Michael Keane's Ambulator Nemorensis. This piece was put together as a preliminary study for an experimental film by Nicholas Kendall called Tala. While the actual music used in Tala was quite different from Ambulator Nemorensis both are attempts to create an imaginary landscape (or to use Murray Schaefer's term "soundscape").

Ambulator Nemorensis

Description: Recording of David Keane's Ambulator Nemorensis. "Ambulator Nemorensis" was put together as a preliminary study for an experimental film by Nicholas Kendall called Tala. While the actual music used in Tala was quite different from “Ambulator Nemorensis” both are attempts to create an imaginary landscape (or to use Murray Schaefer's term "soundscape"). This piece is an honest attempt to create something beautiful.

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

Ange

Description: Recording of Jean Piché's Ange for tape or radio performance. It is a timbral work in which the main goal is the total acoustic mixing of natural and synthetic sound material. In addition to the synthetic sounds that are created through a digital synthesizer, four voices - two men, two women - are introduced in the final mix and are hardly distinguishable from the synthetic sounds.

L'Angélus

Description: Recording of Denis Lorrain's L'Angélus. This piece is of a fairly free design and naturally exploits passages of contrast or homogeneity between the tape and clarinet. The tape is composed of electronic and concrete sounds, including sounds from the clarinet itself. The development on two channels of the tape is opposed to the fixity of the interpreter situated between the two speakers. In a live presentation, this piece tries to avoid clearly marking its chronological limits: the beginning is… more

L'Angélus

Description: Recording of Denis Lorrain's L'Angélus for clarinet and magnetic tape performed by Bernard Paluck, clarinet. This piece is of a fairly loose design, and uses natural passages of contrast or homogeneity between the magnetic tape and clarinet. Magnetic tape is made up of sounds electronic and concrete, including sounds coming from the clarinet itself. Development on two magnetic tape channels is opposed to the fixity of the interpreter situated between the two speakers. This recording was produce… more

Animated Sonic Forms number 3

Description: Recording of Francis John Sacci's Animated Sonic Forms number 3. Animated Sonic Forms number 3 was composed in 3 dimensions. Each tuning fork or timbre is a world apart. One sound created, another was made until two melodies of 12 sounds exist. The accompaniment was made by mixing the sounds heard in the melodies. The melodies are heard in different ways, we use variations, different speeds change the sounds while the melodies are played back and forth. The two little melodies are always played… more

This piece is based on recordings made in 1974 at the ISME Research Seminar which took place at the Department of Music of the University of Canterbury. The subject of the seminar was Music and the Preschool-aged Child. Among the invited speakers were two specialists in the field of Musical Therapeutics. As an example of the power of musical sounds on an extremely retarded child, their article defends all therapeutic positive aspects inherent in musical … more

Atelje II (Atelier II)

Description: Recording of Lojze Lebič's Atelje II (Atelier II) for tape. The piece was composed in collaboration with Paul Pignon in the Radio Belgrade Electronic Studio in September 1975. It is made up of five sections, in which certain electroacoustic "instrumental" ideas are transformed through characteristic compositional procedures. The title has a twofold meaning: on one hand, it reveals the aims of the composer's research, considering that this was Lebič's first encounter with the electronic medium, … more

Aubade

Description: Recording of Sandra L. Tjepkema's Aubade. This aubade, a serenade whispered into a lover’s ear, just before dawn: It is meant, of course, as a type of erotic poem; but it is not the text alone but the finished product which constitutes the poem. The words (in English) along with complementary phonetic signs and tremulous sighs, seek out the familiar images of love poetry. Phonetic variations on the vocabulary and the breathing of sleeping, dream-talking lovers, the more literal interpretation o… more
