Water Music

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
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.

Do it again

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Thomas Bjelkeborn's, Do it again. The compositional work uses breaking dried out tree branches, which are heavily processed with electronic techniques. This sound file has been transformed over and over and with sound mutation and has been split in various sounding directions. This piece uses transformations which are similar to partly human gestures controlling the changes. The resulting sound files were cut, spliced and mixed in a canonic form where the original sound file length has been kept as far as musically feasible.

Glass / Steel

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Michael Casey's Glass / Steal. The initial concept for this work was the idea of creating a piece with a very tactile feel. The sound materials used are various ceramic fragments, objects made from different grades of steel (each with different resonating properties) and hybrids of the two using spectral filtering software. The impression one gets is of being inside a large sculpture 'playing' with the various materials, as we play we discover new sounding possibilities.

Transe metal

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Nicolas Verin's Transe metal. It is for tape alone. The work uses SYTER for the sound transformations (essentially based on the same percussion instruments as those used in concert) as well as sound synthesis. Certain percussion sounds have been added, in order to preserve the compositional intentions. This piece is based on a metaphor of the idea that all sound originates from a transfer of energy. The percussive object communicates its dynamics to the struck sound body (mainly metals) and likewise, the sound resulting from this percussion generates its electro-acoustic modification.

India vieja que pretebde volverse joven Tomando sangre de condor

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of José Halac's India vieja que pretebde volverse joven Tomando sangre de condor. The India vieja (old Indian woman) sings the Baguala, (traditional folk song from the West North of Argentina) expressing her wish to become young by means of drinking the blood of the Condor (immense and majestic bird from that area), in order to be able to enjoy sex and life once again. This beautiful and magical idea inspired me to create this piece. Originally she says the text first beating her "Caja" (Indian snare drum) and then she sings the same text also using her caja. Before I decided that my input would be "in between" the spoken and the sung sections, imposing the idea of getting old all along the piece, using the speed of the words and the stretching of the voices to reflect the idea. The result is at the same time mystical and depicting age, so that there is still a chance of going back in time, of becoming young again even with the strong and irrevocable reality imposed by myself. Both the beginning spoken section of the Indian and the last sung section, have been stretch to give a sensation of …

Estudio III (Hot 'n cold)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Fernando Pablo Lopez Lezcano's Estudio III (Hot 'n cold). This piece was composed on a Next computer using two software packages developed at CCRMA and custom Lisp functions Most of the high level structure of the piece was defined in Common Music, a composition language written by Rick Taube, and all the sounds were synthesized using Common Lisp Music, a sound synthesis and processing package written by Bill Schottstaed. The title alludes to the sometimes-contradictory structures of sound that mutate during the course of the composition. The piece tries to talk about change and permanence, opposites but always part of our life. The piece was composed at CCRMA during the last months of the composer's stay there as part of an exchange program between the CCRMA (Stanford), LIPM (Buenos Aires) and CME (San Diego) Laboratories, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.
