Stria

Description: Recording of John Chowning's Stria. The work uses the processes of computer synthesis to precisely control the spectral components - the partials - of sound. A non-tonal division of the frequency space is based on the golden ratio which is also used to determine relationships between inharmonic spectral components. Chowning received one of the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music's (IRCAM) first commissions to compose a piece for the first series of concerts of the Institu… more

Concertante

Description: Recording of Samuel Headrick's Concertante for Violoncello and Magnetic Tape. It is aggressive and decisive in nature with sections that emerge from and evolve into one another, giving the piece a feeling of inevitability. The title describes the concert-piece in which both instruments are used in virtuosic solo capacities. It was inspired by Brahms's Symphony Number One, First Movement and Alfred Lord Tennyson's "Ulysses."

Merchants

Description: Recording of Mark Schubert's Merchants. This piece is a progression from single isolated events to total unification of all sounds. The method of doing so involved simple mixings of the different sounds (first individually presented), extending the events with loops, rapidly splicing different timbres together, and finally using tape echo, blending all the sounds into a climactic ending.

Lyric Density I

Description: Recording of James Needles's Lyric Density I. This piece is the first in a series of three works which explore the development of density from a steady-state sound into a more defined lyric and linear statement. In this initial movement, short and abrupt crescendos promote areas of high attack density often veiled by a continuous foreground or background sound.

GAM 77

Description: Recording of Raoul de Smet's GAM 77. It is a work based on concrete sound material, specifically a cookware set on which the composer improvised. In the studio, the sounds were kneaded and transformed until it reached a sound comparable to gamelan. The title refers to it and when one reads the English title ("game"), it refers at the same time to the composer's activity. As soon as the material was fixed, it was organized in canon three voices. GAM 77 was realized at the Institute for Systemati… more

Recorded

Description: Recording of Vladan Radovanović's Recorded. The attention in this piece is focused on the interaction of sound and semantic aspects of the word "recorded" and the sounds that accompany it. At times reversible elements oppose the irreversibility of the flow of the word.

Ever-Livin' Rhythm

Description: Recording of Neil Rolnick's "Ever-Livin' Rhythm." All of the sound material comes from fragments of African music taken mostly from field recordings of music of the BaBenzele pygmies of Central Africa, which was then transcribed by Rolnick. The rhythmic drive of the piece is similar to the kind of infectious music which has come out of the African diaspora. The computer part was realized on a mainframe computer which would calculate the batch files, which is an aspect that endures in Rolnick's … more

Windows

Description: Recording of Richard Zvonar's Windows for two-channel tape. The piece is described by Zvonar as being "an animated film for the ears." The sonic images are meant to invoke glimpses of alien landscapes, unknown and yet strangely familiar. Sound materials were taken from choral sound masses, filtered and gated through a Buchla 200 Series synthesizer. No electronic sound materials were used.

Liège à Paris

Description: Recording of Henri Pousseur's Liège à Paris for tape. The preposition "à" refers to several possible verbs: first, Liège thinks of Paris, and his first way of expressing it is to go there in a fictitious way, to play to visit it, to be there. So one can perceive that this is not just an illusion, that Liege (just like Geneva or Montreal) is in Paris, in every sense of the word, including that of 'to belong'. All these cities are part of a vast linguistic and cultural fabric, of which Paris is u… more

Mountains

Description: The composition Mountains for Bass Clarinet and Magnetic Stripe, written in 1977, is in all likelihood in a new stylistic development of the composer. It is especially the conception of musical duration that has changed. Thus I was surprised to find that the duration of this work - estimated at a few minutes during the work - finally turned out to extend to almost twenty minutes. This can be explained in part by the long haul of most musical events, and by a large number of multilevel rehearsal… more

For Jon - Fragments of a time to come

Description: Recording of Lars Gunnar Bodin's For Jon - Fragments of a time to come. The work is a dramatic cantata, with vocal sections for both chorus and soloists alternating with recitatives and instrumental interludes. It is based on a series of texts characterized by a kind of "surrealistic science fiction" testimony and reports about experience in other worlds, real or imaginary. The texts are never sung but are often melodically "coloured", "composed" with the aid of electronic means. The compositio… more

Rothko

Description: Recording of Peter Beyls's Rothko. "The most important tool that the artist shapes through his constant practice is the belief in the ability to produce miracles when they are needed.” – Mark Rothko, “Possibilities” 1947 The 3 parts that constitute the work have a different macro-structure. They have a fundamental common interest in the color of sound. The work evolves from an extra-musical point of view: my interest for painters of colorful American plans, in particular Newman and Rothko. Bot… more

Dencias

Description: Recording of Alfredo Marcano Adrianza's Dencias. “Dencias” was realized at the Laboratory of Electronic Music (CICMAT) of Buenos Aires. The work is conceived as a large surface of electronic sounds that appear and disappear in different harmonic combinations, on a resonant background of delicate character, formed by percussion sounds of instrumental origin. The slow, somewhat hypnotic unfolding of the work is sometimes interrupted by the violent appearance of fortissimo attacks.
