Frédéric
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Michael Longton's Frédéric. The source material for “Frédéric” is the last movement of Chopin’s Sonata op. 35 in B-flat minor. The movement in its original form may be one of the first musical essays on the phenomenon of “critical speed” at which music shapes or events may lose their identity and merge with the surrounding field while conversely, other shapes may emerge from the field. “Frédéric” simply explores – in its not particularly systematic way – the geography of this frontier. “Frédéric” was realized at the electronic/computer-music studios of the University of Victoria, using the “Synclavier” synthesizer manufactured by New England Digital Corp, of Norwich, Vermont, USA. This is a mini-computer-controlled digital synthemixer with 16 digital oscillators and four-channel output. Data may be input either from a terminal or from a keyboard (in this case only the keyboard was used). The material was mixed through a TEAC mixing board and recorded on Scully and Teac tape machines (2, 4 and 8-track). A DBX noise reduction unit was used at all stages except the final mic. Recording tape was Scotch 206 and 207.

Songes
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean-Claude Risset's Songes. Songes was produced at IRCAM with a variation of the MUSIC V program. The original program, designed by Max Mathews was extended by John Gardner and Jean-Louis Richer so that it can process digitized sounds as well as synthesize sounds. The piece uses some sound materials from Mirages, a piece for 16 instruments and tape commissioned by the Donnaueschingen Festival (1978). The title suggests the dreamlike nature of adventures set on another scene: adventures from an absent, imaginary world. The identity of sound beings that sometimes escape material constraints dissolves in the continuity of textures, in the flow of deformations, displacements, liquefactions. At the beginning of the piece, the computer was used to assemble, superimpose, tile five motifs - these motifs, each lasting 2 to 5 seconds, were recorded separately by 10 instrumentalists of the Ensemble InterContemporain. In addition to the superimpositions, the instrumental sounds have undergone modifications governing in particular spatial effects. The harmonic structures of these patterns, repeated in a quasi-obsessive way, are repeated in a high harmonic fabric, then in inharmonic synthetic sounds. The components of these sounds can, depending on their temporal profile, merge into simulacra bells or dissociate into fluid …

Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of David Evan Jones's "Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)." "Pashanti" is a Sanskrit word that refers to the level of thought that immediately predicts the recognition of speech as sound. This composition uses a hybrid computer musical system to filter vowel sound sources and vowel-like sounds. The text consists of the vowels i / a / u / e / i in sequence with particular transition velocities form the word "Yaweh" (the name of the Hebrew god). This series of vowels is continuously permuted to form the text of Pashanti through the composition.

Poi
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of John Rimmer's Poi for tape. In the piece there are two groups of pitches - one conjunct, one disjunct - which interact with each other in various percussive and string-like timbres. The movement of the music suggests the whirl and glide of the "Poi", a small flax ball, which is a part of the popular Maosi dance of the same name.

The Pulses of Time
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Denis Smalley's The Pulses of Time. The Pulses of Time reflect the varied behavior of pulses: the regular pulses of meter, the much slower pulses which pace sections of music, and pulses which form the interior character of sounds - the accelerating pulses of a bouncing sound, and the fast pulses creating the grain in sound textures, for example. The different atmospheres in the work are generated by the major sound sources: the electronic bounced family of sounds, metallic harmonies which expand the resonances of dramatic gong-like attacks, noise contours, drums and percussion both real and synthetic, and the clavichord which provides a rich reservoir of sounds - deep clusters, sighing pitches, resonances truck on the soundboard, strings plucked and stroked. The clavichord sounds remain raw and untreated.

Aerial
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Barry Truax's Aerial for solo amplified horn and four computer-synthesized soundtracks performed by Steven Field. Aerial is characterized by an interplay between the solo instrument and the taped sounds in terms of complementary and contrasting sound colors. It attempts a close blending of the horn with the tape, not only in terms of timbre, but also with frequent pitch references, similar rhythms and quadraphonic spatial amplification. The horn is not intended to be heard as a 'solo' voice, but rather as an integral element of a complete environment, sometimes leading, sometimes following, and in the final section, gliding effortlessly on its currents as suggested by the title. The piece is closely related to part II of the composer's Love Songs for voice and tape, and evokes the sense of landscape, mountains, clouds, and lakes as related to the love imagery found in that piece. The work is also inspired by a comment of John Cage that "in landscape there are no inherent contradictions." The work was written for and is dedicated to James MacDonald. Both the tape and live part were realized with the composer's POD6 and POD7 programs for computer sound synthesis and composition at Simon Fraser …

D
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Dubravko Detoni's D. A radiophonic composition for prepared harpsichord and magnetic tape with modified harpsichord sounds, it is added a tape made with the most different sounds coming from the harpsichord. The work consists of constantly changing cadences and refrains. The cadenza (in the middle of the piece) is performed by the harpsichord alone, while the choruses (in the background) are performed by the harpsichord and the tape. Each cadence has a different character: ecstatic, resigned, imperceptible, hysterical, ironic. They recast to the refrains which each represent a different shade of gray.

What the River Said
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Gene Carl's What the River Said. This composition is based on the sound of a piano string (played by an impulse generator through an electro magnet) is rotated around 4 loudspeakers. After many listenings, the movements of the sounds took on musical forms. The composer created both smallest and largest structures on which the piece is based. Through extensive tape manipulations a spectrum of sounds evolved from the first sound sources. The title comes from the poem, " the Wasteland ", by T.S. Eliot. In this poem, the river is an important symbol, carrying the signs and debris of civilization along its route. In the same manner the movement of a natural-sound (piano strings) carries the musical message and form with it. In this way nature speaks to us.

Quartetto
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Lelio Camilleri Quartetto for four-track tape. The piece is in three sections according to the ternary form ABA'. The sound material is composed of a series of modulated sinusoidal frequencies. In the first section, the material is used to create soundtracks that are organized with different durations in the four tracks. In the second section, the material, through transformations using several controls on the same frequency, gives rise to figurations with very variable frequency, timbre and envelope. The third section is a varied cover of the first and uses the same frequencies with different durations, timbres and envelopes.
