Plectros II

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Commissioned by Chilean pianist Carla Hübner, and premiered by her at the Latin American Music Festival, Bloomington, Indiana, in 1966. In Plectros II the composer extends the idea first explored in his Plectros I - the opposition of two different worlds of sounds. It requires the interpreter to extract "electronic" type of sounds from the piano using both the keyboard and the inside of the piano. No special mallets are required, and the pianist uses fingernails, fingertips or the palm of the hand to obtain harmonics, resonances, and glissandi, or to produce clusters and a variety of different attacks. On the other hand the tape part, produced at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in New York, has synthetic sounds - all electronically produced - creating artificial quasi-piano type of sonorities. The goal is to achieve a blending which gives the listener an impression that it is not clear if the sound is coming from the instrument or from the loudspeakers. Plectros II is not a dodecaphonic composition, nor a "prepared piano" one.

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.

Die Mauer

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Armand Gutheim's Die Mauer. The sight of the former wall, which divided Europe in two, and the feeling that it evoked, was the perfect subject for an electroacoustic piece. Divided into three parts (1. Construction 1961, 2. Checkpoint 1975 and 3. Destruction 1989). Several acoustic instruments, tools and sounds were originally used at the recordings as well as a choir. Nevertheless, they were all processed and adapted into the electroacoustic concept that can be heard. The result became a piece who may give the listener an unpleasant feeling from the past but also a feeling of hope for the future.
