The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Eddie Albert. Albert was born in Rock Island, Illinois on 22 April 1908 and joined the Navy in 1942. Following officer training at Cornell University, he was shipped to the South Pacific. Albert recalls spending a night in November 1943 with Lieutenant Colonel Evans Fordyce Carlson (of Carlson’s Raiders fame) in a hole during the Battle of Tarawa. After the battle he relates that he was called to Washington, DC for duties relating to public relations and was sent around the United States selling war bonds. He recalls that by the end of the war he also had produced at least six war-related training films.

Recording of Armeno Alberts' Hake. The title refers to singing in traditional Javanese music, meaning a cry of joy. The work was entirely composed on the UPIC system, exploiting in particular the possibilities of tuning with the frequency tables. I also used frequency modulation to give an "orchestral" aspect to the sound. Many waveforms were taken from samples of gamelan orchestra instruments. The tape can be played alone or with a score for four gamelan instrumentalists.

Recording of Ron Averill's Gdod kreasi baru. For electronics.

Recording of Ron Averill's Painting legs on a snake. This work refers to an exercise in futility, which describes why the composer came to appreciate piano composition. Many literary works of the 19th century deals with the piano reflecting a dissatisfaction linked to the timbre of this instrument, which sparked questions about tonal modes and tone color. Rather than composing a tonal piece on the piano, modified already existing piano works were put through the NEXT computer and organized to create this work.

Recording of Alain Basso's Affranchi. This piece involves discourse between two sets of sounds, all of which are from sound recordings. The first set of sounds is comprised of aggressive tool and machine sounds, while the second set of sounds comes from soundscapes with more peaceful elements. As the composition progresses, the two sets of sounds mingle in a violent unison, while gradually a third element comes to weaken this turbulence: human breathing, calm and deep, described as a reminder of the essential in the middle of the agitation.
