Al-Un
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Michel Tétreault's. Al-Un is based on a single sound material: an aluminum chime. From this material, Tétreault created sonic events of different densities that he then arranged in the stereophonic space. The result is a work which two main parameters are: perspective and fixity or the mobility of plans. The structural organization is elaborated according to the weight and the atomic mass of the aluminum.

Extension 1
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Zagorka Zivkovic's Extension 1 created at the Electronic Music Studio in Stockholm. It is the first in a series of works aiming to extend the sound quality of certain live-instruments. This piece focuses on the cello and manipulating the instrument in different ways - from a low degree (transposition) to an extremely high degree (a combination of layerings of loops and permutations through the use of a Buchla synthesizer). These sounds are then juxtaposed with some pieces of the original sound material in order to give depth to the perception of the instrument.

Relazioni-trasformazioni
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Albert Mayr's Relazioni-transformazioni. “Relationships-Transformations” is part of a series of works that are based on the TIME-ASPECTS text and thus start from the same basic hypothesis: highlighting the relationships that come into being between various sound events - or even visual, theatrical – in function of relationships between their organizations in time and subjective transformations - of such events that occur during the operation. This hypothesis is carried on with the use of a very small material, both for recorded and instrumental parts, without any virtuosity, even to avoid masking, with affirmative artisans, the state of erosion of making music today.

Mechanical Cartoons
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Paul Pignon's Mechanical cartoons. On the Synthi 100 it is possible for the composer to patch complex systems which can generate musically acceptable trajectories even without control gestures - these are called "organic machines" by Pignon, because they are like beings with an independent life manifested in sound. An important feature for the overall structure of the piece is that one of the organic machines, which has a central role within which the characters of the cartoon act out and are subject to the influence of a previously defined rhythmic pulse train. Although this rhythmic structure is nowhere obvious, it nevertheless biases the overall form.Of the four "voices", the first is the setting already mentioned, featuring richness and variety of sound objects while being rather static in space. The second and third are quasi-human-animal voices that are very mobile in space. The fourth, also mobile, Pignon imagines as a monstrous bird-like figure, although it too occasionally exhibits humanoid characteristics.

Nazca Liftoff et Time Arroyo
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of David Rosenboom's "Nazca liftoff et Time Arroyo." David Rosenboom: Nazca Liftoff and Time Arroyo. Nazca Liftoff and Time Arroyo are two sections of a series of seven pieces composed for the album, "Voyage Futur." These are two examples of what the author calls "high performance." These pieces are completely based on algorithms. Direct actions to the computer have the effect of directing the algorithm process to crucial branches and selecting sets of musical materials and / or relationships with what the program performs. All sounds are created by the author with "Key" controlled by computer with digital sound generation and "Patch-IV".

Tremola impressao
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rodolfo Caesar's Tremola impressao. This piece is a mix of disparate languages: instrumental music, sounds of nature and electroacoustic music, resulting in a different kind of electroacoustic music. The material originates from earlier works, not always Caesar's, but manipulated to make it different. He tried to make useful the sounds that were condemned trash; without any comparison with "Fontana Mix" by John Cage

The thin edge of the wedge
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Andrew Newell's "The thin edge of the wedge." This is the first piece in a triptych of pieces. It is orchestrated for seven electronic instruments, which were realized on a Buchla 200 series synthesizer. The concept behind the music concerns itself with man's position in the world today, which the composers sees as a very dangerous one, with possible self-destruction close at his heels. This piece is as one voice "crying in the wilderness," not meant to soothe, but to alert his fellow man to the evil that seems so near. The piece divides into two large sections which are then subdivided four plus three into subsections. The last subsection is a direct contrast to the first both in context and in attitude. The pitches are based on a number series that derives from the fractional part of the ratio of partials 8 and 7, but this is not a serial piece because the above-mentioned series is used primarily as a series of central pitches around which a random distribution of pitches revolves.

The silent god
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Mauro Graziani's The silent god. It is a sound processing work, no synthesized sounds are involved. The beginning sound materials are sounds often used in religious rites and ceremonies, hence the title. Sound material includes: Japanese gongs, Tibetan and Chinese bells, Tibetan trumpets, gamelan, Indian and Middle-eastern harp, western organ, aeolian harp, voices. Processing includes filtering, time and/or pitch changing, delays, freezing, cutting, and mixing. The work was realized at the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale" (University of Padova) in 1980, using the IBM 4381 mainframe and the MUSIC360 software for digital sound synthesis.
