Music for Viola, Cello, and Tape

Description: Music for Viola, Cello, and Tape was written and premiered in Paris in 1985. This work brings together two extremely different aspects of my musical experience: improvisational music and music involving computers. These two musical domains, representing intuition and rationale - opposites yet complements - hold a great deal of interest for me. This trio explores the interactions among three soloists, one being a tape of computer-generated sounds; in which no part plays a secondary role. The two… more

Dorian

Description: A universe. Self-contained. Where timbre were the principal item. To force it into another state; apart; and let it, in accordance with its own laws, return to its rest; and then to begin to compose. Bend and vary, change and break. To alter some kind of perfection in order to attain something else. Two main items shared the conception of this piece: the possible richness in perception provoked by the duality: whole versus parts; and the possibility of mapping into musical events the behaviou… more

Tel

Description: "Tel" is a word used in the Middle East and Bulgaria to say "hill" where layers of ruins mark the ebb and passage of historical cycles.

To create this micro-sequence, the author extracted pieces of tape from the trash bin of the electronic studio.

Mutacion II
