Boreas

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of André Ruschkowski's Boreas. This piece was composed as one part of a longer musical program originally created for the Susan Quinn Dance Company. The musical material consists of two levels: (1.) microphone-recorded sounds of everyday human activities, and (2.) musical material, which was produced with different means of electronic sound synthesis. The extensive electronic transformation of these items and their arrangement in larger musical units took place particularly on the basis of gesture criteria (i.e., the energetic process of human movement items, the rhythm of tension and relaxation, reflects itself directly in the musical structures and their combinations). The aim is to create by this means an electronic music, which is able to address the listener directly by this specific gesture or physical quality.

Attract

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of José Miguel Fernández's Attract. This work was composed in 1999 as part of a FONDART project of the Ministry of Education of the Chilean government, on the use of mathematical models (chaotic and stochastic) for musical composition and interaction with the computer. For this work, the composer used two chaotic models (torus and logistic map) for the clarinetist's score and random models (Brownian, 1/f and white noise) for the spatialization of the sound. The samples were made with Csound, Audiosculpt, Peak and Protools (for some editing). A pitch-to-MIDI converter triggers MIDI events on a proteusFX with a random beat. The computer keyboard triggers the samples as well as a Max sequence made with the torus model X n+1 = X n + Ksen Y n. The title for this composition is taken from the strange attractors which have recursive equations and fractals; it is also drawn from the attraction which produces some sounds in the unfolding of the work and in the interaction.

Degrees of separation "Grandchild of Tree"

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Paul Rudy's Degrees of separation "Grandchild of Tree". The composer's notes on this piece are as follows: The idea for a cactus and tape work came about when I heard a performance of John Cage's Child of Tree. I was immediately taken with the sound of the cactus in particular. Taken from its natural environment and placed in the confined and groomed existence of a pot, amplified with a contact microphone, the cactus took on a completely new and interesting character, however paradoxical. Without the amplification its subtle and poignant resonances go largely unnoticed. The relationship between natural objects and their unnatural extension is the metaphor which inspired Grandchild of Tree. I am deeply indebted to Nathan Davis for his amazing cactus technique and samples!

Maquinaria del Ansia

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rogelio Sosa's Maquinaria del Ansia. This composition is an attempt to translate into sound the sensations that are felt during a state of anxiety.

This sound, through transformation and manipulation, created all material for this piece.
