Access:

Ambience
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Richard Orton's Ambience. Ambience for solo bass trombone and tape was written for the American Trombonist James Fulkerson and first performed by him in the Wigmore Hall, London, on 17 May 1975. He has since included the work in many recitals during his tours in Scandinavia, Canada and the USA. The title "Ambience" here refers to the imaginative sonic environment surrounding the sounds of the trombone, including the most "artificial," synthesized sounds, instrumental ensembles which incorporate the trombone, and environmental recordings including public sounds we will recognize and share. Within this sonic environment the trombone at times asserts itself, at times merges most imperceptibly, and eventually complements it and achieves a harmonic and dynamic balance.

Recording of Stephen Montague's Slow Field. The primary sound was recorded from a toy organ and altered by means of filters, etc. The work employs heterodyning (using an electronic circuit to combine an input radio frequency with one that is generated in order to produce new frequencies) and the use of vari-speed near the end.

The vengeance, a ballet
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Robin Julian Heifetz's "The Vengeance," a ballet. It is programmatic in content. As a young boy, the composer accompanied his father – a writer – on research trips to the Indian pueblos of New Mexico where he spent two summers. These experiences made lasting impressions upon him. Years later, while conducing his own research in the cultural anthropology and ethnomusicology of the North American Indians, he discovered shocking documentation published in journals in the U. S. Bureau of Ethnology which provided evidence that the U.S. Army – as a matter of official government policy – had actively distributed Small-pox- and Cholera-infected blankets and clothing among the Indians in an effort to decimate them. This practice began in the mid-1700s and continued for about 100 years, ending in 1865 at the close of the American Civil War; actually, this practice ended in 1865 as a matter of official government policy only, for it has been conjectured by some authorities that the practice was continued covertly until 1900. The program of the work may be divided into two main sections: Part I, “Infection and Aftermath: is 10’48” in length; Part II the “Vengeance” itself, is 10’50” in duration and symbolizes …

Metamorphosis III
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of John Winiarz's Metamorphosis III. This piece is the last and most concise work from a series begun in 1974. The idea was inspired by an experimental film made by an artist friend in which the beautiful figure of a greyhound dog in flight is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors and nebulous shapes. An intense aural experience is achieved by a sharp juxtaposition of the humorous and the serious. The piece is composed using a mixture of concrete and electronic material. Tape loops, speed changes, splicing, and filtering techniques were used. Equipment included three stereo tape recorders, a mixer, EMS synthesizer, and a Burwin filter.

Nokturn
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eugeniusz Rudnik's Nokturn. Nokturn was made according to a conventional method, by typical means for a classical electronic music studio. The basic materials come from different sources and are so deeply transformed that it is difficult to recognize their origins. There is one exception - the ability to hear the flute bill that performs background functions at other musical events that take place.

Sensors IV
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alcides Lanza's Sensors IV performed in 1984 by the McGill Concert Choir, conducted by Christopher Reynolds. The tape was realized at the Composer's studio (SHELAN Studio) and McGill University EMS in Montreal, QC, Canada. The piece explores different techniques of vocal wiring, especially the relationship of semantics, languages, and memory. The word "Memory" constitutes the entire text for the piece - using letter sound, recombinations of the word, and adding syllables from other languages that share similar etymology. Recording of the word "memories" -- Meg Sheppard's voice -- is used in the realization of the piece.

Les mouvements mousseux
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Tamas Ungvary's "Les mouvements mousseux." This piece was commissioned by Polish Radio. Most of the sounds and sound textures were created in Stockholm in the computer studio of EMS. Singing voices were generated by MUSSE, a vocal synthesizer developed at the Center for Speech Communication Research and Musical Acoustics of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The three movements of the composition grow out of the material itself. Both additive synthesis and FM synthesis have been used to create the sounds which have also been treated by filters, modulators, reverberators. It was composed in the Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio Warsaw in 1979.
