Match - Monody I & Polyphony IV

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Nicolae Brînduș's Match - Monody I & Polyphony IV. It is a version dedicated to the Ensemble "Ars Nova" from Cluj Ð Romanian and based on collages of traditional folk dances from Romania's northern area of Maramures and ancestral laments from the regions of Banat and Oltenia. The final tape was re-positioned in the frame of the performers' controlled improvisation live which follows the same principles of composition. It became a sort of an ancestral memento to the momentary performing act. The music on the tape evolves from the natural sound of the folkloric sources, quoted as such, to its multiple subsequent electronic transformations, coming back to the same folkloric quotes in their natural sound at the end. All the process of transformations represent the pulsing and not pulsing metric type of musical activity (tempo strie and tempo lisse so as described by Pierre Boulez).

Eso silencios

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Coriún Aharonián's "Esos silencios" ("Those silences"). "Esos silencios" are the silences of our daily vital experience of the seventies in almost all Latin America. "We do not desire them, but they surround us always, until we finally succeed in breaking them," Aharonián wrote. It exclusively uses materials of microphonic origin. Some of the sounds have been made with instruments constructed in Guatemala by Joaqu’n Orellana. The decision to bring to life the piece at that historic moment was convergent with the emotional experience that the pricking edges of the delicate drawings by the Argentinian-Uruguayan Mar’a Carmen Portela and the gagged yell of the dramatic paintings by the Uruguayan Hilda Lopez. In Esos silencios there is a will to establish large, apparently static, areas, with latent tensions, in a structure of full hard edges, almost without the concession of transitions.The piece was originally composed in 1978 and was revised in 1981. It was realized in Elac, the studio of Montevideo. The materials of departure have been produced by the author
