Brown Rice

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This piece was composed in 1982 with a Buchla 200 analog system and with a multi-track mix to produce a basic texture. A byte of curly bands with soprano voices was assembled and subsequently played by the computer using a keyboard. This gave linear and pointillistic contrasts with the harsh sounds electronically.

Morpheus

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The two-channel realization of this tape piece was created in 1984 in Berlin. The first broadcast took place on October 12, 1985 in the Hungarian Radio. The musical material was produced exclusively by analogue electronic means. On the one hand, the musical form of the piece is the result of a process that results from the variation of twelve different basic sounds with itself. On the other hand, one can clearly see an arc shape, which is created by the contrasting musical character of the middle part compared to the beginning and end part. The strongly noisy basic sounds are identifiable by their identical envelope curve as parts of a unified whole, but differ from each other by different, each for themselves specific sound structures with their own Gestaltqualitäten. The series of twelve basic sounds is traversed a total of 13 times by combining them with their own row structure, each shortened by one sound. Thus, in addition to the standard-setting basic series, a second variant of this series gradually builds up in the course of the piece in order then to build up again from the nucleus of the initial sound. Repetitions of the same sound constellations are thereby …

...and even the stone would cry

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The composition is a meditative work based on the cantability of basic instrumental materials - fragments of melodic and harmonic structures of a cello part - transformed by the vocoder, the digital sound processor, the equalizer and so on. It clearly shows the author's desire to establish a relationship between these "thematic materials" ostentatious timpani and dynamising structures synthetically created.

Elegie

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The literary material of this piece is composed of Psalm 29 (verse 11) and the last words of the homily of Pope John Paul II of the solemn Mass on the Victory Square in Warsaw in June 1979. In the music the composer benefits greatly from the electronic sounds of the Moog synthesizer. The construction of the Elegy is repetitive and takes the form of the form of litanies. The invocations of the priest according to the composer bear the character of a speech with God. At the same time we pray for peace for the people and for the renovation of the "soul of the earth" - the "Soul of this Earth". All the work is dedicated to the commemoration of dozens of victims of the Polish-Polish war. Under this term one understands the repressions, sometimes mortal, which affected the Polish nation on the side of the communist regime since the state of siege (1981) until the end of the Eighties.

Kama Loka

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The work was composed in Stockholm Music College Studio at the end of 1982 in opening of Strindberg's "The Ghost Sonata". (Kama Loka is the unofficial subtitle that Strindberg gave to his work.) One can certainly listen to this work without referring to the piece, but for those who know it, some correspondences are perhaps worthy of interest. The work is conceived as a traditional opening in which the musical material approaches the characters and the events of the piece to the music illustrates a vision of which the student observer has an experience both in the future and in the past (tic-toc clock). He pierces the secrets of the house (percussive attacks, dry and cracking sounds) of betrayal, guilt and evil. He sees the daughter of the house (river of his highs, vulnerable), victim of the game of the Evil One, defenseless, frozen in his martyrdom, he sees the old man Hummel (bands of rattling sounds, ticking, penetrating), the vampire and manipulator who devour the heart and the human life, everything leads to the destruction of the house, the disaster during which the student saves a poor child, the vision slowly moves away and melts in a Sunday morning …

Presentimiento

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Presentimiento" was made in the EMS Stockholm Studio in 1982 a month before "Círculos fosforescentes en fondo negro", this piece was realized on the program IMPAC by Michael Hinton, who works on probability curves that make it possible to control sound events. Presentimiento is a clearly percussive piece and can be divided into four sections. The odd sections display a form of gradual growth in density and intensity, while the even sections are static without significant variations in dynamics or character. From a timbric point of view, however, the piece shows a unitary color, which makes it possible to consider the sections as different moments of an indivisible musical thought. The piece comes in two versions, quadraphonic and stereophonic.

Ionosfera

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This piece wants to produce, from these well-known instruments, sounds never heard by means of the introduction to micro world of these instruments, by the electroacoustic technique. These new sounds mix with the well-known sounds of these instruments. All three instruments are two complete parts. The first parts of the three instruments must be recorded and modulated. On the occasion of a recital / live performance, this band must play the second part of the third instrument, without any modulation. Among the five mono-thematic movements, there are three cadences for each instrument. The band of the piece was performed in the Hungarian Radio Studios in 1982, with the collaboration of Istvan Horvath sound engineer.

Clepsydre

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Clepsydra is part of this vast acousmatic fresco made of steps forward and back on the first works. Composed in this last idea, this piece is the second movement of the 1st Grimoire of the "acoustic illusion", not created until tonight, devoted to the element water. The 2nd Grimoire (1982) was born before the complete creation of the 1st Grimoire. The first purification of the material therefore took place before the shaping of the initial material. However, thanks to the evolution of the experience, I wondered about the stability of my basic building and I got a clearer idea about this project. These reflections have actively served me in the development of Clepsydra. Around the "Athanor", the "Vulcan Forge" and the "Blue Corps of the Night", Clepsydre closes "perhaps" the 1st Grimoire, presenting the philiphaly houses of the acousmatic creation. This is how this work is woven with a number of natural atmospheres evoking a cloister in the rain and sounds created in the studio.
