Son recif
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jacqueline Ozanne's "Son recif" for voice and tape. This piece comes from a work on the myth of the sirens and includes texts written on this theme in their original languages. As the singer/speaker repeats the story, it is crossed by the sounds of these languages, by songs that cannot continue, as well as successive states of emotion. The electroacoustic tape plays a constant dramatic role: sometimes worrisome, sometimes reassuring, sometimes enveloping presences, it continually influences the interpreter in their vocal and dramatic production. The performance includes a video projection.

Chile Fertil Provincia...
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Gabriel Berncic's "Chile Fertil Provincia..." Electronic and instrumental sounds, recorded and processed onto four tracks, make up an autonomous flow. To this are added percussion, viola, double bass, tumbadoras and voices, these instruments-persons bringing new visions to the ensemble through the free creation of sequences and/or parallel discourses. "Chile fertil provincia" is the opening line in Alonso de Ercilla y Zœ–iga's La Araucana, the long epic poem which was the first to tell of the conquest of this remote West Indies country in Spanish American literature. It is an allegory about the motherland in ancient and recent times: Latin America told through scenes whose chronology does not obey any absolute historical time. Beginning with a futuristic ancestor and passing through different vassalages, a synthesis forms which evokes the oldest of traditions and aspires to be a binding hymn of the peoples. The titles of this staging music are, in order of performance, as follows: The Woods of Our Ancestors and of Those Yet to Come, The Conqueror's Cross of the South, The Piano of the Inquisition, La Moneda del Valle de Yuro, Jail and Disappearance, The Broad Boulevards Will Open Up. This work, revised several times and finally …

Lyric Density I
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of James Needles's Lyric Density I. This piece is the first in a series of three works which explore the development of density from a steady-state sound into a more defined lyric and linear statement. In this initial movement, short and abrupt crescendos promote areas of high attack density often veiled by a continuous foreground or background sound.

GAM 77
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Raoul de Smet's GAM 77. It is a work based on concrete sound material, specifically a cookware set on which the composer improvised. In the studio, the sounds were kneaded and transformed until it reached a sound comparable to gamelan. The title refers to it and when one reads the English title ("game"), it refers at the same time to the composer's activity. As soon as the material was fixed, it was organized in canon three voices. GAM 77 was realized at the Institute for Systematic Musicology (IPEM) in Ghent in 1977.

Polyfonium
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Lucien Goethals's Polyfonium. This is a mobile electroacoustic composition consisting of 4 independent layers that must be superimposed ad libitum during the listening even if the piece is in a concert hall. By varying the modes of superposition, one obtains a different version each time without the general character of the piece changing. It is also possible to make reduced versions, that is to say, by superimposing two or three layers only. Such achievements will then give less complex versions, but quite complete from the musical point of view because each structural layer is autonomous. The basic material consists of concrete sounds and electronic sounds. Complex figures were made using an electronic programmer. The piece is dedicated to Nicole Lachartre.

Study for horn and tape
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jan Segers's Study for horn and tape performed by André van Driessche. The work was conceived as a study for the horn, accompanied by magnetic tape. Performance requires certain technical skills from the performer. The general form is A-B-A. The first A section consists of a note with semitone variation, which is then developed by the horn from pp to ff. The B section consists of rhythmic, contrapuntal variations alternating with "cantabile" passages, which could be considered a development of the previous A section. The second A section is a complete reversal of A1.

Corales poema sonoro

Recording of Carlos Fariñas' and Sergio Barroso's Corales poema sonoro. This piece is excerpted from a show, "Dialogues," for band, instruments, images, and the public performed with Sergio Barroso in 1971. The sound poem is based on a montage of Cuban poems, which goes from a poetic enumeration of Cuban plants and trees to quotes from Macbeth and fragments of the Campaign Journal and other political narratives of José Martí (revolutionary, poet, founder of the Cuban Revolutionary Party, ideologist, pioneer of Latin strategic anti-imperialist thinking) written on the eve of his fall, fighting. Texts read, transformed concretely and electronically.

Six fantaiseies on a poem by Thomas Campion
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Paul Lansky's "Six fantasies on a poem by Thomas Campion" performed by Hannah Mackey. It is a suite of computer synthesized studies of the reading of the poem "Sweet-cheeked Laura" by Thomas Campion. In this work, Lansky takes a single text, which was then read by his wife and frequent collaborator Hannah Mackay, and subjected it to a variety of aural manipulations. Each of the studies attempts to explicate different implicit musical aspects of the sound of speech. The effect of the different approaches should be to change the listener's perception and application of the musical senses of speech, particularly poetry reading.

Una pulce da sabbia
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Roberto Doati's "Una pulce da sabbia" ("A Sand Flea") for tape. This work utilizes a timbre space built on three dimensions: spectral energy distribution, spectral fluctuation, and high frequency energy which precedes the full attack of the tone. The sound synthesis models used are simple waveshaping and FM. The overall structure of the composition is generated by the projection on a two-dimensional space with frequency as the ordinate and time as the abscisa, of an architectural structure plan. Doati achieved the desired temporal extension by means of the ‘slowing perspective’ technique. As regards the choice and the treatment of the macrostructure and its internal organization, they depend exclusively on the compositional parameters: symmetry, regularity, direction, velocity, focus and flight point (terms borrowed from the visual arts world). The internal temporal organization of the polyphonic rhythmic structures that make up the macrostructure is given by the position of the focus. This one is determined too by the parameters above mentioned. Each structure takes the timbre that occupies the corresponding position in the timbre space. It was realized at the facilities of the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale at the University of Padova.

3 for 5
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Richard Zvonar's 3 for 5 for percussion, performed by Daryl Pratt. The piece is divided into three movements, with a different set of instruments for each. These are set up in three locations, which form an arc left to right across the performance area. Four playback speakers are situated beside and between the three playing locations. The tape sounds are entirely derived from recorded sounds of the percussion instruments. Throughout the piece, the live and recorded sounds continuously diverge as the piece progresses until at the end, the original sounds have been greatly expanded and enriched through speed transposition, mixing, filtering, etc.
