Recording of Christian Clozier's Lettre à une demoiselle. This piece uses music written on a newspaper, a sheet, in an attic, in view of an open window on an impassive river, at a flowery table, around two o'clock in the morning, in a low voice, in memory of the companions of the Pleiad. There are three movements: draft, erasures, and post Scriptum. This work also uses sound samples and recorded sound to allow for the poem to reach full expression and character.

Excerpts of an interview with television personality Art Linkletter, which John Gilliland used in the Pop Chronicles radio program series. The interview, which focuses on drug use and popular culture, is dated from 1969. It appears to have occurred soon after the death of Linkletter's daughter, Diane, whose death he believed to have been caused by the use of LSD. The interview segments were made for broadcast, and are followed by a test tone and radio news announcement, more interview content, and a repeat of prior segments.

Recording of Octavian Nemescu's "Concentric. A question with two answers." for instrumental ensemble and tape. The piece is a reaction to Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question," which is, in comparison, schizoid in nature, marked by breach, discord, disparity and incommunicability. There are three layered music layers in "Concentric" which join together to create a kind of communion that is timeless through the use of resonant harmonic issued by a fundamental sound C, placed in the deepest register, like a natural archetype (of a cosmic and supercosmic presence coming from the depths of existence).

Recording of Arne Nordheim's Solitaire. The composition was composed for the opening of the Museum Sonia Henko-Niels Onstad Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo. The primary assumption of the composer was to give the composition in audiovisual form in which the latest technical possibilities of sounds and light projection would be utilized. However, this composition exists also in concert version, deprived of extra musical elements, in which a significant role is played by the spatial configuration of the composition realized in the original in a four channel version/on the record the Solitaire has a two channel form. Insofar as the sound material is concerned, the composer utilizes equivalently electronic instrumental and concrete sound, excusing the differences, which exist between them, and creating a uniform cohesive organism. It is worth emphasizing the unnatural richness of tones changing similarly to Schonberg's "Klangfarbenmelodies". The composition was realized in 1969 by E. Rudnik at the Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio.
