5 microinfinitos

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Sergio Rojas de Carvalmo's 5 microinfinitos. A constellation of 27 micro-songs exploring new flirtations between poetry and music. Built-in, forgotten electro-acoustic design; music free of any adjective, without any fear or melodies or even rhythmic pulsations where the eroticism of the body is expressed. Poetic language at the limits of conciseness, flirting with prose, far from any domestication of literary genres. Dialogues of contrasting cultural spaces, dialogues of dimensions and above all dialogues where reason and concepts are silent and where everything is mystery.

Solipsismo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bruno D'Auzon's Solipsismo. This work combines a finished text (in Portuguese) and its relation to a musical context. The composer has tried to combine the movement between sounds and speech, a poetic language without concern for meaning and in which sound objects or musical phrases may more easily support a concept or an image than words. The piece is divided into five parts, with the middle part playing a relaxing role where the theme is no longer human language.

The Turning of the Tide

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eduardos Reck Miranda's The Turning of the Tide. The sounds of the piece can be divided into two main groups: continuous sounds and discrete sounds. Continuity is given by the vowel-like sounds, which were digitally synthesized using three synthesis techniques: frequency modulation, wave shaping and formant synthesis. Articulation, on the other hand, is produced by noise-like sounds generated by the violin, samples of the composer's speech, and amplitude modulation using an analogue synthesizer. The two computer programs used are CAMUS and a format Synthesizer.

Voo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of alcides lanza's Voo. The lyrics of this composition are primarily in Portuguese, but the composer specifically chose to play with the source material, basing lyrics on poems which appear in NO OUVIDO DO TEMPO/NO OLVIDO DO TEMPO, a remarkable book of poetry by the Brazilian poet and composer Gil Nuno Vaz. Special acknowledgement is given to the Brazilian poet Raul de Leoni (1895-1926), since Gil Nuno Vaz integrated into his own poems some lines from an unpublished book by de Leoni, No Ouvido do Tempo. As a result, the Portuguese blends into Spanish and Italian intentionally, acting as a catalyst joining the notions of Columbus, Italian explorer, departing from Spain to explore the unknown sea; Columbus, whose writings in Spanish showed strong traces of Portuguese and Italian; and the fact that Portuguese and Spanish are the prevalent languages from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego. In addition, by looking at the text in a kaleidoscopic way, "other" words and sentences, in existing or imaginary languages could be encountered. With all these elements, the composer "tells" the story of the opening up of a new world - struggles and religion as icons on the way to modern civilization. Voo is …
