Los dados eternos

Description: Recording of Rajmil Fischman's Los dados eternos. This is a piece for oboe, tape and real-time processing. The instrumental part includes a range of extended techniques such as multiphonics, sucking the reed, singing and playing, etc. In addition, sounds coming out from the oboe are processed during performance by two effects units, serving as a further extension of the capabilities of the instrument. This processing also creates a middle ground in which concrete sounds contained in the tape meet the sonic world produced by the live performer. The tape serves several functions. In the first place it acts as an environment which transports the setting of the performance into diverse landscapes and situations. Secondly, it also fulfils an ‘orchestral’ function, complementing the solo performer either in an harmonic-timbral manner, or rhythmically by means of gestural counterpoint. Finally, it also contributes to the middle ground by using oboe sounds, which blend with the rest of the landscape or transform into other sounds. The performer is sometimes required to mimic some of these sampled oboe sounds in order to give the impression that they are coming out of the actual instrument. On other occasions, sounds produced by the performer are overlapped by the tape, which transforms them in a manner which would be impossible for a real oboe. The tape was realised at Keele University studios. Although this is not a programmatic piece, it was inspired by a poem of the same name by the Peruvian poet César Vallejo (1892-1938), which deals with the struggle between divinity and humanity, its results and implications. Los Dados Eternos is strongly influenced by Latin American culture, both, in its reference to music and language and in the unconscious manifestations of rhythm and dance within more abstract electroacoustic material. Performances include the 1991 International Computer Music …

Tracers

Description: Recording of John Duesenberry's Tracers. Tracers is conceived as electronic chamber music for a small ensemble consisting of a "virtual soloist" and a "ripenio group". The soloist is given monophonic material - by turns lyrical or virtuosic - on an "instrument" whose mutable identity derives from sampled and synthetic woodwind and brass sounds. The ripenio group is made up of synthetic plucked, percussive, and sustaining instruments, and usually has the role of supporting and underlining the soloist's statements.

Valdrada

Description: Recording of Frances White's Valdrada. "Valdrada" is based on an excerpt from Le Citta invisibili" by Italo Calvino. Calvino's book is a collection of prose poems, connected by the scenario of Marco Polo telling Kublai Khan stories of the fantastic cities which he has visited. The piece is based on Marco's description of Valdrada, a city built upon the shore of a lake. Marco tells of how an arriving traveler sees not one but two cities : the "real" one above and its reflection in the water below ; he then explains the peculiar awareness which the inhabitants of Valdrada have of their reflections in the lake. So great is their obsession with these mirrors of themselves that it becomes not so much their own actions and passions which are of importance to them, but those of their images in the water. Finally, Marco tells of the relationship between the city and its mirror : "the two cities live for one another, their eyes locked together, but there is no love between them". In composing "Valdrada", Frances White wanted to draw upon the imagery, atmosphere, and poetry of the text without creating an explicit "setting" of it. In particular, the images of mirrors and water were uppermost in her mind while composing. The treatment of the spoken text proceeded in a similar fashion : although the speech is never clearly recognizable, it shapes the rhythms, timbres and overall gestures of music. In the opening, for example, the rhythmic texture is the result of filtering only the consonants in the speech. The middle section then focuses on the timbres of the vowels, while the final section brings these together, with the filtered consonants accompanying the song-like vowel sounds.

"Tenebrae Super Faciem Abyssi", emerges from still depths, flashes out in explosive pressures spawning a musical world, gradually merges human with electronic utterance, and finally reaches back down into the still center of the opening, but now reflecting the ongoing journey.
