Naturale Condizione del Moto

Description: This composition is built on the axiom that at the basis of the musical invention there are not only the sounds of tempered height and harmonic timbre but also the complex sounds, and especially those constituted by inharmonic spectra. The spectral complexity is the reference characteristic on which all the relationships of internal relationship to this piece are constructed, granting a clear preference, even on a purely aesthetic level, to the most harsh and dissonant multifonical sounds. The … more

Feed Dog

Description: The title refers to the name of the tooth-shaped device that, on a sewing machine, serves to advance the fabric. In this work, the different functions of a sewing machine are combined with the voice to create a contrast between the timbre qualities of a woman's voice and the industrial and metallic sounds, sometimes abrasive, of the machine. Voice and machine are assembled elliptically, sometimes dry and inhibited, sometimes smeared and hallucinatory to assert new meanings and signs. With the v… more

Ellipse

Description: "Ellipse" is a music designed for a mime. The musical structure follows exactly the scenario proposed by the mime, while trying to integrate as much as possible to the movements performed on stage. The sound material is very small. All the music was built from two synthetic sounds programmed on a Yamaha DX 7 synthesizer and breathing sounds, sampled by a PPG synthesizer. Compositionally, the work is designed to establish a single formal unit. The development is very progressive and always att… more

Recollections

Description: Recollections concludes the Time Past series of works started in 1981. It examines three key ideas in the works of Marcel Proust - time, memory and dreams - in the context of a solo performer struggling to reconstruct the opening of Dante's Vita Nuova. (He's forgotten the words, perhaps even how to speak and is learning the process all over again.) The amplified solo voice is integrated or contrasted with two tapes (heard simultaneously). One is based upon vocal sounds processed using the Fair… more

Images

Description: Images (composed in 1986) is based on the results of research into the perception of rhythm. For example, distortion of a composite rhythm at the beginning of the piece occurs because of unavoidable inaccuracies in the synchronization between performers. Yet another distortion occurs at the end of the piece when the performers are required to play with the tape in a rhythm having a period longer than the upper perceptible limit of synchronization, approximately 1.8 seconds. The soprano does not… more

A Digital Eclogue

Description: It makes use of the MIRY program which allows the computer to " listen " and response to the actions of the clarinetist. The software creates rearticulations and transformations of the musical material it " hears " from the clarinet thus creating a real-time improvisational dialogue between the performer and the computer. Despite the limited capabilities of small computers, the system is able to produce interesting musical responses by focusing on perceptually salient aspects of the live perfo… more

Litany for the Dead

Pigeon Fantasies

Description: This piece was created in 1985 at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University on the Samxon Box Digital Concepts Synthesizer. It was inspired by an early morning walk in Vondelpark in Amsterdam and was made in conjunction with a film, also by the composer. The pigeon of the title "Pigeon Fantasies" is in some sense the protagonist of the film. Water is an important image in the piece. Great pains were taken to resynthesize the sound of water, using a program d… more

Shadeless, Peopled

Description: This work was created by the multi-lagering of entirely acoustic sound sources. Scrap metal, voices, bowed aluminium pot hids and guitar have been orchestrated in large numbers (averaging 200 tracks and up to 500 atacks per second) to produce new sound structures through synthesis complexity. It is an extended orchestrational approach which arms at developing the morphological (inner structure of sound) rather than the syntactical (the ordering of sounds) aspect of musical structure. The gestur… more

Inori

Description: "Inori" was commissioned by the Nordic Institute for National Concerts on request by the Dutch/Icelandic cembalo player Thora Johanseed. The composition hardly deals with the dualism between the cembalo and the digital synth. The first being close to rigid in terms of timbre while the second symbolizes the opposite. Consequently, the basic lines of the piece deals with the transformation of the DX-7 from being an "instrument like" instrument (using the very typical DX-7 harp sound) and graduall… more

Sinfonia Concertante: Mozartean Episode

Description: Sinfonia Concertante is modeled on the dramatic essence of its classic namesake: the interplay of the chamber orchestra and the computer music narrative; of sweet consonance and angry dissonance; of innocence and duplicity; of pleasure and sorrow. The text for the taped narrative heard through the piece is formed from excerpts from ten letters written by Mozart from Mannheim and Paris to his father in Salzburg during a nine-month period from November 22, 1777, to July 9, 1778. The text was digi… more

Souprematika

Description: The cube is the representation of the sound block, it is composed as follows: - creation of a material - creation of a writing - spatilization - total interaction between the sound micro-structure and the shape of the sound block. It comes in different forms (perspective) according to its location in space. This is not a variation of the sound block, but its presentation in a form each time different. The whole of the symphony results from the composition of the sound blocks. It is from this c… more
