It always takes a short time

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Beyls' It always takes a short time. The work combines tape music and spoken words live with electronic transformation of vocal material. This work is a version for tape alone. The electronic sound material as well as the original sounds were used and structured on 4 tracks. The vocal material, spoken by Herman Sabbe, consists of a textual structure by the Belgian artist Yves Desmet. This material has been intensively manipulated, with particular attention to the purely sonic aspects of language. The resulting sounds are semantically meaningless although a musical compilation of the text content can be detected at times. In the first part, colored noises and textures of gradually increasing complexity were used. The central part is built on the exploitation of sounds similar to those of the percussions and almost at the end of the work a continuum with slight fluctuations in the colors and the dynamics is growing.

Perpetusa

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Tod Lewis's Perpetusa. A 4-Channel Tape Presentation in Four Movements. In electronic music, a typical "patch" (system interconnection) will comprise an audio signal and audio/sub-audio, AC/DC controls, where various parameters of the former are modified at specific points in the signal path by the latter. In the present work, these details may be of interest, in that the signal is one of the source materials for an earlier work, Gestes II, while the controls are voltages derived from Gestes II itself. This principal patch for Perpertusa produced a proliferation of sonic materials so baffling I had at first no idea how to proceed, yet so compelling I was forced to the task. Began with small structural units (which abound in this work, where virtually every moment partakes of a structural gesture) and crept towards larger ones. Towards the end of the work, a "new" idea, as of the sound of horns or tubas, is heard. It is none other than the signal, the source (whose torn and bleeding manifestations we have been listening to all along) at last unmodified. This mournful blare (from the fortress itself) signals the conclusion and summing up.
