Miroirs

Description: Recording of Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux's Miroirs. This work identifies the problem of togetherness with the coexistence of the two sound sources, mainly using as basic material a harpsichord score previously recorded and subsequently subjected to various electroacoustic treatments. Concrete sounds and modulated sounds (EMS synthesizer) are used, to which are added some electronic sounds recorded directly in the studio. The final cut of the magnetic tape then served as the basic material … more

Description: Recording of Michela Mollia's Viola Celeste. This work was performed at the Experimental Studio of Electroacoustic Music of the Conservatory of Pesaro. Its sound material is made up of 950 sines, grouped in a mixture of 4 sines, each and arranged in 16 sets of 21 mixtures from start to finish. Each layer (4 complexes) is a fairly complex superposition of sinusoidal sounds, the frequencies of which vary over time so as to avoid the creation of melodies, but to stabilize between one frequency val… more

Effetti Collaterali

Description: Recording of James Dashow's Effetti Collaterali performed by the clarinetist Phillip Rehfeldt. The composer's first effort in using systematically his concept of AM and FM spectra as inharmonic harmonizations of specific dyads. The specified pitches are made to generate their own accompanying frequencies, generally inharmonic with respect to the pitches themselves, as a result of FM or AM procedures. Each interval or each pitch-pair can generate several possible spectra, but the similarity in… more

In the second section, less familiar timbres are introduced in heavier densities such that the interaction of entire groups of timbres and events are perceived. In the final section, individual events are not perceived as much as a … more

Effetti Collaterali (for clarinet in A and computer generated electronic sounds)

Description: The specified pitches are made to generate their own accompanying frequencies, generally inharmonic with respect to the pitches themselves, as a result of FM or AM procedures. Each interval, or, in fact, each pitch-pair (or if you don't want to limit yourself to the chromatic scale, each pair of arbitrarily decided upon frequencies) can generate several possible spectra, but the similarity in sound quality between kinds of spectra quickly reduces to a limited number of readily manageable famili… more

Solitude of Sounds

Description: Last October while thinking about a composition I was to realize in the Columbia-Princeton Studio I spent a lot of time in my room listening to distant noises coming in through a half-open window. It was a seemingly disordered mixture of the street hubbub, signals of the river ships, and the distant thunder of planes. After some time I had an impression of all these noises being alive and perhaps even conscious of their existence; it seemed as it they wanted to speak. United into one whole and … more

Telesuono Hologram

Description: After an intense period of analog familiarization with the range and enormity of available sounds extraterrestrially and in nature, I tried the only techniques then available to me, tape manipulation and speaker placements. The only coloration that I employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs. I have always monitored from nearly neutral sensors, and my interest has been in trading, configuring and juxtapositionings and in the presentation of… more
