Act of Opening

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Act of Openings" is a stereo composition made with Moog analog synthesis modules. Composed in 1968, its duration is 17'27. The score of the composition is a dense and modulated sound characterized by carefully controlled phase relationships. All the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the piece derive energy from a long, brilliant sound. Each part of the room is another glimpse of this sound, as a set of flowers form a bouquet. "Act of Openings" received the 2nd Prize at the 1969 Dartmouth International Electronic Music Competition.
