Spermanence

Description: This work uses, with rudimentary means, the fixed qualities of a piano sound sampled by the lack of an AKAI factory. Despite a rather hollow sound that I sought in this sonata to give a field of expression quite extended to the possibilities of putting in play offered by the computer. The piece is in three movements, essentially based on the deployment of an initial agreement. At any moment, I voluntarily appealed to a rhetorical break of form, an appeal to our routed memory, to become, and ye… more

Inspiravit aeolus

Description: Recording of Pierre Barbaud's Inspiravit Aeolus.

Winter

Description: Recording of Gerald Bennett's Winter, music made for digital synthesizer. It is based in its sound and temporal structure, on one of Friedrich Hölderlin's last poems. These poems, which almost all have a seasonal title, are luminously calm; nothing moves, image is placed next to image, without syntactic or logical relations. In the play, six imaginary female voices make a double canon, unlike six families of non-vocal sounds. The sound structure, the choice of pitches and frequencies, also depe… more

Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Description: Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with o… more

The title arises from the sections in which two of the thee sound types merge into one timbre or colour, "tertiary colours" being a term used in painting for a colour which is produced by mixing two s… more

Ceremonias

Description: Recording of Lionel Filippi's Ceremonias. Starting from a basic idea (2 fragments of popular music from the North of Argentina) the work unfolds in various directions: the central idea evolving with interferences of certain elements which cut its continuity but do not distort his point: to relate totally opposite sounds both in terms of their origin (concrete, electronics, popular music) as well as their use and processing.
