About Howard Johnson/Affirmative

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joshua Fried's About Howard Johnson/Affirmative. This work uses MIDI in unusual ways. Sound modules become a silent controller of analog gates, and continuous controllers manipulate digital processors in real time. When channel gates are triggered at an even rate, one obtains the well-known strobe effect of slowing down, stopping or even reversing the apparent motion of a rotating object. As trigger cycle and loop cycle move out of phase, bits of sound seem to wander from speaker to speaker through the space. This work also functions as a study for live performances that will process found sound with a combination of selectable algorithms and performer control.

Alias

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ake Parmerud's Alias. Alias is inspired by the thoughts on the relationship between the composer, Gesualdo da Venoza, and his art. composed of two opposing movements, the first of which is based upon a fragment of a love-song by John Dowland (contemporary to Gesualdo) has been deconstructed, processed and reprocessed into a set of variations output in a linear fashion. The traditional lute-part has been strongly stylized into a chord comprised of the note A-1 and the first 16 harmonics on top. The function of the plucked string sound is however essentially the same as the traditional lute-part. The second movement is an attempt to sketch a slightly surrealistic picture, This is done using quotations from some of Gesualdo's late motets and occasionally blending with them a Dowland lovesong.

Alma latina

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rajmil Fischman's Alma latina. The composer has this to say on the background of the piece, and of this piece itself: Time is a strange background against which our lives develop. Linearity is usually out of the question and memory cunningly warps and re-invents our past experience to such an extent that the latter becomes alive, threading between past and future. It has been forty years since my personal thread started, more than twenty since I left the birthplace and a long time since my last visit. During all this span - especially after leaving and finding other homes - the conglomeration of conscious and subconscious moments bubbled out, combined with new experiences and created labyrinthine inner passages in which sounds, images, smells and other sensations from different periods mixed and evolved into new forms. Music which was previously dismissed and undervalued suddenly acquired a new significance. Strong images of pain and joy amidst the contrasting richness and poverty of a South American city became representative of a historico-political situation. Taste and scent of food, combined with the physical sensation of dance movement, turned into cornerstones of thought about the essence of human condition. All of these are …
