Do it again

Recording of Thomas Bjelkeborn's, Do it again. The compositional work uses breaking dried out tree branches, which are heavily processed with electronic techniques. This sound file has been transformed over and over and with sound mutation and has been split in various sounding directions. This piece uses transformations which are similar to partly human gestures controlling the changes. The resulting sound files were cut, spliced and mixed in a canonic form where the original sound file length… more

Glass / Steel

Recording of Michael Casey's Glass / Steal. The initial concept for this work was the idea of creating a piece with a very tactile feel. The sound materials used are various ceramic fragments, objects made from different grades of steel (each with different resonating properties) and hybrids of the two using spectral filtering software. The impression one gets is of being inside a large sculpture 'playing' with the various materials, as we play we discover new sounding possibilities.

The afterbirth of apollo

Recording of Eric Lyon's The afterbirth of appollo. This work is for electronics and has a lot of noise elements. The synthetic sounds are harsh and posses an analog sound. This sound feels continuous and even though there is movement in the sound, the construction continues to stay the same. There is a true representation of electronic sound in this work, instead of shying away from the noise, this work embraces it and explores the importance of balance and musical transitions.

Songes drôlatiques

Recording of Michel Redolfi's Songes drôlatiques. Audio and visual suite inspired by the "Drolatic Dreams" of Rabelais' Pantagruel.

Added to this are throbbing metal, creaking wood, gurgling liquids and any substance relating to Rabelais' sound environment. Thus, virtual flesh, mysterious pharynx and imaginary mechanics compose for the ear a… more

Limite inferiore sinistro

Recording of Elio Martusciello's Limite inferiore sinistro. The matter of elimination, that is to say the sound of the rustle of a magnetic tape, constitutes the acoustic nature of this composition. The sole use of a tape recorder-mixer as a sound generator, gives a sufficient result for the creative operation, and ultimately to the gesture of the component. In all this hides a subtle complacency, a game of perspectives where this plan relegated to the bottom at the musical level and pushed fur… more

El otro Espejo

Recording of Raul Minsburg's El otro Espejo. This work offers a type of action, sound, and in a sense, form of some works of the '50s and '60s made with analog equipment; but here made with recent equipment, digital and especially with a synthesizer having additive synthesis, which interferes with all the sounds of the work, including a kind of voice, at the end of the work. There are several sections that create a specific relationship of density, polyphony, and texture due to the interaction … more

Beautiful Numbers

Recording of Karl Friedrick Gerber's Beautiful Numbers. The work is a result of the composers experiments with algorithmic composition written with the "GFA Basic" language. The real-time improvisation program is controlled or "conducted" by altering numbers of preselected so called discrete vectors. These vectors represent states in the space of sequences formed by counting integer values in cycles. Various midi events are generated to control the sound modules. The piece was concerned for dan… more
