Nine Fingerprints

Description: Recording of Tamas Ungvary's Nine Fingerprints. In these impromptus the border between the church organ and computer music domains seems to fade. These pieces were edited out of several spontaneous recording sessions. During those recording sessions, a Sentograph controlled IGMA parameters, the remaining three outputs of the second FingerprintR were used to change the Overtones, Brightness and Articulation parameters. These organ instrument spaces were implemented on the SY99, using waveshaping… more

In sich ohne Ausweg

Description: Recording of Gerald Eckert In sich ohne Ausweg. The inspiration for this work came from the composer's involvement with the visual arts. The question arose whether and to what extent plastic surfaces and small structures were transformed into tonal formations, using Fourier analysis, sounds could be generated based on the idea of an (optical) relief. It is a purely digital synthesizer, whose basic structures were created using PPP (an algorithmic composition language).

Renaissance

Description: Recording of Ake Parmerud's Renaissance. The piece is based, on the one hand, on Serge modular synthesizer sounds, and on the other hand, on some additional sounds coming from Renaissance instruments like the lute, the cromorne, the viola da gamba and the drum. The intention was to create a virtual encounter between the sounds, the methods of composition and the aesthetics of the two worlds, analogue and digital, on a distant canvas of timbres and medieval rhythms.

Notarimbalo

Description: Recording of Jaroslaw Siwinski's Notarimbalo. For cembalo and tape. This is short work developed from a short piece. The sound material was formed by mixing numerous non-transformed standard synthesizer voices (Yamaha CX 7 II D, TX 802, SY 77). There are only two sounds based on the natural samples: a chord of symphonic orchestra and the noise of a bird taking wing.

Gamma Orionis

Description: Recording of O Powers' Gamma Orionis. This piece is based on the metaphor of a journey through different regions of sound. There are seven regions, starting in Cityscape (with its Domes, Power Plant, and Spires), and moving outward through Wasteland, Dark Forest, Mesa, Mountain, Desert, and finally arriving at Ocean. This approach provided both a series of sonic contrasts and an overall direction to the work. The sounds were created with a Yamaha TG77, controlled by Digital Performer running on… more

Patch 13

Description: Recording of Milton Estevez's Patch 13. For tape. The basic material was built among others during a period of research carried out in the studio of the European Center for Musical Research in Metz, in this case on the old analog synthesizer AKS. The frequencies of the patch were manipulated in an improvisatory way and recorded on eight tracks, based on non-symmetrical but related tempos, fixed in advance for each improvisation. After mixing, the eight tracks were mixed on two tracks.

〇✕△☐

Description: Recording of Takehito Shimazu's 〇✕△☐. For this composition, the composer produced a special computer program written in C and Assembler computer languages. The purpose of this program was to create sequential data as a means of reflecting, defining, and executing the form of the piece. The composer chose to include a randomizing element in this program in order to more closely simulate human performance of the material performed by the computer element. In terms of form, this piece consists of … more
