950 for Bob

Description: Recording of Terry Setter's 950 for Bob. He describes this style of composition as "focusless music," which is structured in such a way that the listener always hears an undifferentiated sound continuum, making the smallest changes noticeable. The title refers to the length of the piece (950 seconds) and to Robert Ericksson, to whom the piece is dedicated.

Description: Recording of Teresa Rampazzi's Atmen noch. After many months of researching the relationships between harmonic or better harmonic spectra, this piece was the result of that research. This research was done jointly with Rampazzi's student Maria Luisa Bon. The form of the work is sets of stamps and association between them and a Grecian-inspired Cantus Firmus. The groups are figurations of galaxies out of time.

It is a live-performance piece for six amplified voices using extended vocal techniques, but no electronic modification of the voices. The piece, commissioned by the English group "Singcircle," takes the word "Credos" and slowly dissolves and changes its sound-constituents through processes of gradual transformation. This recording is a studio version of the piece "sung" entirely by the composer.

Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Description: Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with other computer sounds. The initial attempts are humorous; subsequently, other emotions are evoked until the loneliness of the "great performer" emerges. The voice is made with computer synthesis based on a 1907 recording of the aria "Vesti la giubba" from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci sung by Enrico Caruso.

Chalumeau Rain

Description: Recording of Reed Holmes's Chalumeau Rain. The piece demonstrates the composer's concept of music as sound flow (a texture existing in time and space). For this reason, many of the clarinet sounds assume a gestural/electronic character. Chalumeau is a lyric expression of the electronic medium. The composer unites the live and electronic by using live clarinet sounds in the tape which have been manipulated by tape loops, reverb, phase shifting, reverse playback, amplitude modification and filtering. All pitch material is derived from a five note collection. Pitch material is developed by mains of various contours. Ascending, thrusting pitch series are expositional or developmental. Arch shapes exhibit stability and a relaxed character. Descending pitch contours provide or signal closure. Assignment and occurrence of these structural functions in Chalumeau is not simple. The composition grows from an interaction and mutual influence of the pitch and gestural ideas; often one idea dominant and others are struggling to predominate. Momentum and directed motion are additionally achieved by rhythmic activity and textural manipulations.

Play bach

Description: Recording of Mayako Kubo's Play bach for eight channel tape. Play Bach is mainly based on two elements: first, there is no fixed form and no fixed duration because the composition consists in a mobile-system; second, the sound material uses only the tones B (Si-flat), A (La), C (Do), and H (Si) in different octaves performed by three instruments and with the letters B, A, C, and H spoken with human voice. Because the eight tracks are combined using a mobile system, each performance presents different combinations and thus a different performance each time.

The vengeance, a ballet

Description: Recording of Robin Julian Heifetz's "The Vengeance," a ballet. It is programmatic in content. As a young boy, the composer accompanied his father – a writer – on research trips to the Indian pueblos of New Mexico where he spent two summers. These experiences made lasting impressions upon him. Years later, while conducing his own research in the cultural anthropology and ethnomusicology of the North American Indians, he discovered shocking documentation published in journals in the U. S. Bureau of Ethnology which provided evidence that the U.S. Army – as a matter of official government policy – had actively distributed Small-pox- and Cholera-infected blankets and clothing among the Indians in an effort to decimate them. This practice began in the mid-1700s and continued for about 100 years, ending in 1865 at the close of the American Civil War; actually, this practice ended in 1865 as a matter of official government policy only, for it has been conjectured by some authorities that the practice was continued covertly until 1900. The program of the work may be divided into two main sections: Part I, “Infection and Aftermath: is 10’48” in length; Part II the “Vengeance” itself, is 10’50” in duration and symbolizes the violent retribution the Indians might have inflicted against the “White Man” had they not been so utterly weakened and diminished in numbers. “Infection” is characterized by a high density of activity, as if to suggest the suffering and severe pain undergone. “Aftermath” is characterized by a low density of activity as well as frequencies in a low frequency range. No attempt has been made to imitate Indian music, although there are certain rhythmic structures and pitch contours in “The Vengeance” - at moments the result of complex juxtapositions – which may be constructed to derive from Native American music. ...

Just Behind the Horizon

Description: Recording of Józef Rychlik's Just Behind the Horizon for tape. This music, composed "without filtering", uses a range of timbres made by different programming of the values of heights, time, intensity, and specific acoustic music reactions for some kinds of impulses. Each motif, even in the second polyphonic part, are made of several layers. Each layer is an "automatic game sequence," which allows for the process of semi-automatic composition. Along with this idea, the ability of this piece to go beyond the nature of this apparatus and to compose a work that is independent of the "natural aesthetics" given by the machine is a key foundation of the piece.
