The ghost of Eriboll

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Manning's The ghost of Eriboll. This programmatic work is a commentary on our natural environment and the urgent need to preserve the increasingly fragile ecology of so many hitherto unspoilt regions for the benefit of future generations. Loch Eriboll is to be found on the north coast of Scotland, creating an inlet which cuts deep into the countryside of Sutherland, an area of outstanding natural beauty, characterised by rich fishing grounds, rising mountains and tracts of wild moor land, from which and upon which small groups of fishermen and crofters have sought to maintain an existence in circumstances which have often been harsh and inhospitable. As the years have gone by so this way of life has come under threat with increasing industrialisation around the coast from the east, for example the nuclear power station built at Dounreay and numerous installations to support the North Sea oil industry. This piece is a soundscape, which reflects upon the survival of these communities down the ages and the uncertainty, which faces those who remain. All the source material is drawn from the archives of the World Soundscape Project at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia. The transformations of these aural …

Oral History Interview with Iliff D. Richardson, February 22, 1997

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Iliff Richardson. Richardson was commissioned in the Navy in 1940 and assigned to Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 as the executive officer of PT-34. After the loss of his boat in April 1942, he joined a band of Filipino guerrillas. Richardson tells of setting up radio transmitters and of the unusual features of the operations and equipment used. At the request of General Douglas MacArthur he plotted the Japanese mine fields in Leyte Gulf and he gives the details on how this was accomplished. Upon returning to the Philippines, General MacArthur met with Richardson on the USS Nashville (CL-43) and he describes the discussion. After returning to the United States, he had a seven hour meeting with Admiral Ernest J. King concerning pending court martial charges against him and tells of the outcome of the meeting. Richardson joined the Industrial Incentive Division of the Navy and he comments on his travels and speeches given to industry workers. [A copy of the manuscript written by Richardson during the war describing PT boat operations in the Philippines is in the archives of The National Museum of the Pacific War and …

Die Unsichtbare front

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ipke Starke's Die Unsichtbare front. The composer notes the following: The spatial installation of this work was designed and realized for the highest space in the building of the Technical Collections of the city of Dresden. This place just below the dome of the tower with its exceptional view of the city and the nearby radio tower is part of the work. The composition itself consists of 16 minutes of music on magnetic tape, constantly looped, spatialized and broadcast through the 7 loudspeakers configured in the space. The piece is based on modulations of extremely high frequencies, up to the limits of the audible, whose dynamic degree barely reaches the threshold of perception. What is significant vis-à-vis the content of the play is their interruption by documentary material: news in different languages, interviews, recordings of demonstrations, reports and documents from the archives, and synthetically generated or processed sounds of associative character. This confrontation of situational elements with documentary elements generates contradictory tensions in space. The architectural form of this one is also substantial: first of all, the space is presented in a neutral way, not done on purpose for pleasure. The exposed location of the dome provides openness, …
