Luce di Due Soli
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording for Alessandro Cipriano's and Giovanni Bietti's Luce di Due Soli. This work is for piano, vibraphone, and tape and is made up of 5 sections. The title means "Light from two suns". The two composers worked on the same musical material from two different points of view: instrumental (for piano and vibes) and electroacoustic (processing of piano and vibraphone sounds). The elaboration techniques include granular synthesis and reiteration technique. This piece was finalist at 1991 NEWCOMP COMPUTER MUSIC COMPETITION (USA).

Aux mains de l'espace
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Gerald Eckert's Aux mains de l'espace. The various processes generated in this work appear in different states at different points in the piece and will be integrated into their respective temporal environment. Generated sound points are given independent, audible sound movements within an acoustic space, and create a spatial-perspective quality. This is achieved through special distribution over the loudspeakers and through a diminishing echo. An integral part of the composition process is in the analysis of the intended formal and aesthetic conception and the sound results of the Synlab.

Of forever opening into
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Gerald Siclovan's Of forever opening into. This piece is a short triple concerto for double reed instruments. The solo instruments are introduced in short passages: first singly, then in doubles, and finally a trio. The instruments heard in the interludes are: bassoon, English horn, crumhorn, bass viola da gamba (pizzicato), and oboe. The "orchestral" context of the piece uses instruments in unusual ways. Guitars and pianos are played with metal and glass slides, and there are plucked prepared pianos and spun cymbals. The non-instrumental sounds consist of creaking door hinges, sometimes greatly transformed with respect to pitch and duration.

Shortstuff
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pete Stollery's Shortstuff. The composer wanted to make a piece consisting of material which would draw the attention of the listener, consistently keeping these sounds in the foreground and avoiding dense musical textures. Also, throughout the piece, there are sections where gestures are separated by periods of silence or limited sonic activity, which allows the listener to take stock of what has already happened and to anticipate what's to come. The nature of the material being used determines the character of the piece as very "staccato", but drones and longer sounds appear through extremely fast repetitions of short sounds.

L'ivresse de la vitesse
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Paul Dolden's L'ivresse de la vitesse. This begins very dynamically with dense electronic sounds, a chorus, and instruments. Use of texture is crucial within this work. There are moments where the chorus is singing complex harmonies and the electronic sound are very dense; or times when there is very transparent texture and the sounds are isolated. This work explores sound, space, and dramatic musical change by combining electro-acoustic technique and acoustic instruments.

Transiciones de fase
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Manuel Rocha Iturbide's Transiciones de fase. This works is for brass quartet and computer. The intention of this composition is to explore the timbre possibilities of brass instruments, and to present in the piece different states of sound, as a natural element. The electronic sounds, were mixed beforehand, but there is live electronics (IRCAM next station). One part of the sounds processed in the studio were treated with a vocoder, using stretching and cross synthesis. The other sounds were created by analysis and re-synthesis of brass samples, using the IRCAM program or granular synthesis. In the DSP control parameters reverb with filtering, harmonizer, two spatialized delay patches, and random algorithms are used. All events are triggered by the performers with 4 midi pedals.

La volière
Access:

Recording of Randall Smith La volière. The opening fanfare offers a model of creation, an inaugural explosion that projects us into a universe of struggle, where the machines of our perception measure themselves against their natural environment. Embodied in the evolutions of birds, their flight movements are retraced according to the precepts of a machine-universe which aligns them in orders of understanding, in geometries of the visible. Electronic are used to musically convey the movement of a birds journey.

Recording of Eric Mulard's Le miroir à salade. In the manner of Russian dolls, the Salad Mirror plays around obsessive and ultimately comical interlockings between audio stories from everyday life, including the meaning and sound of the words that structure it, are intertwined. The Salad Mirror is this time of listening during which the sound and the meaning of situations and words are as if in a state of weightlessness, without it being known in the end which of the two is anticipating on the other.

Compost sonore
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording Michel Tetreault's Compost sonore. The inspiration from this piece is "Compost", a word which, in the dictionary, comes after "composition" and which, for transposition, can mean: recovery of sound debris, musical materials, scraps of old pieces, used as fertilizer for a new musical piece. Almost all sounds in this work are "concrete" in nature. The sound of water is barely transformed to avoid losing their "natural" reference. These must have been used without much transformation, while others could undergo many mutations before being "composted".

Transformaciones
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Alcazar Aranda's Transformaciones. The work has four parts. In Cristaux et noix; timbre evolutions of the material occur along its duration. Lethanie has minimal changes between melodic cells and small dislocations rhythms, which bring slow transformation. In Ondes rigides. certain flows and reflux are presented through rhythmic compressions and expansions united to a gradual opening in the pitch field. Finally, Dilatation, is a very slow evolutionary model which, accommodates itself to an ever wider sound space.

Dada
Access:

Recording of Andrea Libretti's Dada. The piece develops according to a Dadaist reconstruction project of the recited text, previously analyzed and dismembered. The first part is only consonants, followed by only isolated and interpolated vowels. Subsequently, the development of the envelope of amplitude and frequency of the speech begins to take shape, to arrive through various degrees at the complete recitation of point 11 of the "Manifesto dadaista sull'amore debole e l'amore amaro " by Tristan Tzara. All the material used is from the sampling of the recitation of the text.

Alma de las orquestras
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pablo di Liscia's Alma de las orquestras. This work uses computer generated sounds. The timbral development of this work is based on exploration of the diverse degrees in affinity arisen from the mixing of digital transformed acoustical sounds, and synthetic clones of them by the other. Decomposition of digital recordings is used (orchestras playing compositions by Schoenberg, Mahler and Debussy) mainly through band-pass filters, and the further spectral reconstruction. The materials generated were mixed and spatialized to produce several layers of considerable complexity.

L'autel de la perte et de la transformation
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Brigitte Robindore's L'autel de la perte et de la transformation. This work illustrates an archetypal event in the evolution of the inner life where man has to face loss. It is not just an ordinary loss, as distressing as it may be, but the voluntary sacrifice of something very dear. The UPIC system does not reveal all its possibilities during the first approach. With time the sounds begin to be electronically processed and revealing the possibilities of electro-acoustic technique.
