Skelelemedania

Description: Recording of Hal Freedman's Skelelemedania. This piece falls into three sections; the first and third combine live and tape sounds, and the second is for tape alone. The piece as a whole represents an expansion of the middle tape section. The more purely electronic layers were composed to complement or contrast with the vocal elements. The first and third sections make use of tape echo and delay systems. The timing of the repetitions allow the delay to be heard not as feedback but as a continuo… more

In Celebration

Description: Recording of Charles Dodge's In Celebration. "In Celebration" was composed during the first part of 1975. The composition tends to capture the spirit and structure of Mark Strand's poem and to give it a coherent sense musically. The poem has a two-part structure separated by the reappearance of the verse "You sit in a chair.” The two parts of the poem can be distinguished from each other by the different degrees of passivity attributed to the "You,” the person to whom the poem is addressed.

Haauqui

Description: Recording of Graciela Paraskevaídis's Haauqui (pronounced Wauki or Ouaouki) for two-track tape. The title is a Qechua word referring to a small statue carried by the Incas that resembles their own image, a meaning extended to brotherhood, community, and friendship. The sound events, created from both microphonic and electronic sources, aim at a non-discursive, non-anecdotic function based on a self-imposed simplicity and on the presence of structural silence. It was realized at Elac, pequeno es… more

Syntagmes

Description: Recording of Francis Dhomont's Syntagmes. This work obeys a double concern: formal rigor and vagrancy of the imagination. Seemingly contradictory proceedings, they are inspired by linguistic mechanisms which - within the limits of a code - allow innumerable discoveries.

Construction

Description: Recording of Curtis Roads's Construction. This piece consists of continuous sound spectra. It was composed intuitively by ear. Its process of forming is characterized by an interplay among sections of historical development (continuous transformation), sequences of event (discrete spectral "harmonies"), and disjoint non-sequiturs (contrasting modes of musical behavior). "Construction" is a model, an alternative vision to the dominant mode of structuring. The technical devices used to make the w… more

Relazioni-trasformazioni

Description: Recording of Albert Mayr's Relazioni-transformazioni. “Relationships-Transformations” is part of a series of works that are based on the TIME-ASPECTS text and thus start from the same basic hypothesis: highlighting the relationships that come into being between various sound events - or even visual, theatrical – in function of relationships between their organizations in time and subjective transformations - of such events that occur during the operation. This hypothesis is carried on with the … more

Polyfonium

Description: Recording of Lucien Goethals's Polyfonium. This is a mobile electroacoustic composition consisting of 4 independent layers that must be superimposed ad libitum during the listening even if the piece is in a concert hall. By varying the modes of superposition, one obtains a different version each time without the general character of the piece changing. It is also possible to make reduced versions, that is to say, by superimposing two or three layers only. Such achievements will then give less c… more
