Music Box Music

Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of John Winiarz's Music Box Music. Much of the thematic material used is derived from a little bit of music the composer previously composed. The tape is fabricated from the sounds of musical boxes, baby rattles and various noise making toys, as well as a synthesizer.

Water Music

The idea for this piece came to me on a beautiful spring day as I listened, amazed, the music produced by droplets falling melting icicles. I was fascinated by the sonic complexity, the beauty of such a banal natural phenomenon, which usually receives very little attention. A channel had been dug. Melting in the slush, she would probably end up joining the swollen stream at the bottom of the stream. Everything was there: the climate, the tracks of development, the formal idea. Just be attentive.

ChAnGE'S Music
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joseph Lloyd Anderson's ChAnGE'S Music. A translation of the composer's words, from a letter to pianist Hadley McCarroll, illuminate that the composer tends "to think of ChanG E S Music as a phonographic fantasy because it plays out in each of Dellaria's three sound recording modes: Record-as-Document, Pseudo-Document, and abstraction. In order to really begin to understand him, I believe the listener needs to have an idea of who [composer John] Cage is and why he is interesting. It is also useful to be aware of the Music of Changes, since the version edited by Wergo is the pseudo document with which my piece begins, and it constitutes one of the first 'silent' pieces of Cage (with 4'33''). It is about the need for the composer's ego to step aside before the music so that it can speak clearly. The pseudo document is fun because it allows us to make someone play what has never been played, and say what has never been said, while passing it off as a kind of auditory truth. Cage's opening text where he puts forward the beginnings of all this using recordings as instruments is actually taken from a statement explaining why …

Ear-Music
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of László Dubrovay's Ear-Music. The piece was written for the chamber ensemble EAR. One of the 3 digital synthesizers uses its own sounds, the other 2 being modulated by an analog synthesizer. The trumpet sounds are modified in the same way using a microphone. It is thus possible to carry out very interesting transformations on the stamps. These new sounds and sound processors build the musical language. The melody, consisting of oscillating sounds after various transformations, develops and achieves perfect clarity and harmony with the surrounding elements at the end of the piece.

The work was written in September and October 1985. The work was born from its first note, a violin note generated by computer and reverberated beyond any reasonable limit. The "off-tone" parts are really based on a 13-tone diatonic chord with some incursions into 48-tone diagrams. "Water Music" was performed on Stanford's system synthesizer (the Samson box).

Shadow Music
Recording of Ross Harris's Shadow Music. In “Shadow Music” a single sound source (an orchestral chord) is used to generate all the materials and sonority of the piece. The work is in one movement in which the source undergoes continual transformation through speed changes, modulation, and filtering. Devices used to make the work: 1.) Variable speed tape playback. 2.) Filters: EMS SynthiA, universal filter, graphic equalizer 3.) Ring modulation 4.) Tape recorders: Ampex 2 track Nagra stereo, 2 Revox Teac 4 track

Face the Music
Recording of Tommy Zwedberg's Face the Music. This piece is made for solo trumpet and tape. The trumpet plays towards the tape without electronic manipulation. The trumpet has also been used as material to make the tape-part which makes a closer connection between both parts. There is also a piano used as concrete material for the tape part. The character of the piece alternates with compactness in the beginning and a peaceful part in the middle. In the end, the piece returns to the character from the beginning of the piece, after having preceded a “tutti” in the tape part. The butch synthesizer and filter tape recorder allow for continuous possibility of transposing.

Computer programmes represent a gradual creation of an expert system which simulates artificial intelligence in a possible imitation of man's creation in music. In the global algorithm there are three correlated levels: 1. cosmosophic concept by Ž. Todorović (applied mathematics testing the noumenal word) as the control part of the programme participates in the coding of sound on the level of structuring reality of higher order; 2. processing of data subjected to total serialization, branching into modules of »frozen sound images from the past« (simulation of the modal system, tonal system or a style, for instance, Baroque); 3. realization of output on the level of phenomena: the choice of sound generators and possible mixtures, the effect on vital points of electronically generated sound, etc. This two recording of »Music of Cosmic Models« Saturnalias and Fire Music was made in Electronic Studio of Radio Belgrade in 1988-1989.

Mars Music

Recording of Bill Schottstaedt's Mars Music. “Mars Music” was composed at the Stanford University Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics during Autumn 1978. It was realized on a System Concepts Digital Synthesizer using programs written by the composer, among others. The only synthesis technique used is frequency modulation. Broken into three pieces, it was used along with music composed by Michael McNabb, as the soundtrack of “Mars in 3-D,” a National Aeronautics and Space Administration film directed by Elliott Levinthal, of photographs taken by the two Viking Mars Landers. “Mars Music” was realized on the System Concepts Digital Synthesizer, a powerful music synthesizer acquired by the Stanford Center for Research in Music and Acoustics. The only means of synthesis used is frequency modulations. The synthesizer was controlled by two digital equipment corporation computers—a PDP-6 and a KL-10.

Crystal Music

Recording of Stéphane Roy's Crystal Music. Material substances and sound substances have never been so closely associated as in the acousmatic genre. Crystal Music, which proceeds from this genre, is a music of shapes, colors and materials profiled by kinetic energies and put into perspective in the interior space of the work. Like art glass, the material has been expanded, molded, transmuted in the blast furnaces of experimentation. Like crystal, it is carved by the imagination which gives its transparencies the power of illusion.

Recording of Cort Lippe's Music for piano and computer. Music for Piano and Computer was composed in 1996 using signal processing Max running on the IRCAM Signal Processing Workstation. The piece is divided into six sections, has a duration of approximately 18 minutes, and is part of a continuing series of interactive pieces by the author in which, via analysis of audio input, musicians regulate many aspects of algorithms for both control and digital signal processing in real-time performance situations. Analysis/resynthesis and convolution, both which require spectral domain analysis, are used extensively in the composition.
