Combinaisons en cercles

Description: Recording of Octavian Nemescu's Combinaisons en cercles. It is a version at the request of Partita Radicale with a new timbral guise. The work is coceived in three different layers of sound. The surface, representing everyday (diurnal) consciousness, consists of brief and fleeting timbral events almost invariably played forte. A somewhat subdued middle layer provides semiconscious recollections and anticipations of the overall timbral fabric. The deepest layer is made up of complex static sound… more

Doppelrohr II

Description: Recording of Bengt Hambraeus' Doppelroho II. The title indicates that Hambraeus has used as his basic material the range of tones produced by an organ.

Symphonie

Description: Recording of Boguslaw Schaeffer's Symphonie. "Towards the end of 1964, I began work on a large format electronic work. From the beginning, I called it Symphony, not to obey the spirit of contradiction, which is a way of creating a long time out of use, but being convinced that this name is likely to new applications, there especially where it is a matter of simultaneously resonating a sound matter of very disparate origin, thus proceeding by symphonic means. That was our idea of departure. Yet,… more

The great quantity of impulses and the focal point in "Neutron Star" necessitated the use of a computer (SAAB D-21), which has itself produced the electronic impulses (with frequencies chosen by… more
