Stasis

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Nichols' Stasis. This is an interactive piece for soprano, MIDI violin, computer programming, and sampler. The count of steps on the MIDI pedal tells the computer which section to perform, while the pitch information received tells the computer which gestures to perform. The gestures are preprogrammed, but in some instances the computer randomly chooses the length or speed of the gesture, or the ordering of the musical material within predetermined limits. The computer drives a sampler which is loaded with samples of the soprano mixed and convoluted with samples of the violin.

Braindrops

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Werner Cee's Braindrops. This work is an interactive, audio-visual performance. The installation makes spatial-temporal patterns of the impact of raindrops falling on various sound-making surfaces, creating a complex multitude of generated sound and light structures. Various psycho-physiological signals of the subject are measured using sensors and correlated. Changes in the individual's psycho-physical state are thereby fed back into the audio-visual event itself (biofeedback).

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of YeeOn Lo's Hommage a Glenn Gould etudes for a virtual musician. This work is a set of studies for computer, and it is a result from the composer's algorithmic composition.
