11 september transcript

11 september

Recording of Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen's "11 september." The text is from a document called "What is MIR?" which was sent out illegally in Chile in 1974 and from the appeal of MIR two years after the taking over by the junta, on September 11, 1975. A left-wing party, MIR stayed in Chile in order to contribute as efficiently as possible to the building of the opposition. Other sound material also includes sounds from a typewriter and a demonstration at Bastad, Sweden in September 1975 at a tennis match between Sweden and Chile with more than 4,000 participants. The text is taken in small excerpts from the document in Spanish, English, Swedish, Danish, French, Dutch, and Icelandic. The piece consists of three sections overlapping each other gradually, which shows the relationship between the spoken words and the immediate danger connected with that text. The first section "as a spontaneous statement," deals with the document at its direct background: the silence is broken, in spite of the danger connected with the writing, manifolding papers that criticize the politics and methods of the junta and discuss the strategy of the opposition. The second section deals with the document as a medium of discussion. At …

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.

Die Unsichtbare front

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ipke Starke's Die Unsichtbare front. The composer notes the following: The spatial installation of this work was designed and realized for the highest space in the building of the Technical Collections of the city of Dresden. This place just below the dome of the tower with its exceptional view of the city and the nearby radio tower is part of the work. The composition itself consists of 16 minutes of music on magnetic tape, constantly looped, spatialized and broadcast through the 7 loudspeakers configured in the space. The piece is based on modulations of extremely high frequencies, up to the limits of the audible, whose dynamic degree barely reaches the threshold of perception. What is significant vis-à-vis the content of the play is their interruption by documentary material: news in different languages, interviews, recordings of demonstrations, reports and documents from the archives, and synthetically generated or processed sounds of associative character. This confrontation of situational elements with documentary elements generates contradictory tensions in space. The architectural form of this one is also substantial: first of all, the space is presented in a neutral way, not done on purpose for pleasure. The exposed location of the dome provides openness, …

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Fernando D. Polonuer's Breve reseña sobre los sueños, el vacío y la enfermedad. This composition is described as a program category work. It represents three steps in a painful and unconscious way to self-destruction. The dreams: the perception of loneliness and memories. The emptiness: the wake up, the light, the reflection, the comprehension. The illness: self-destruction, the fight for survival, pain and defeat. This work includes voices which have been recorded in different years. There is a voice singing fragments of a Tango called "Sus ojos se cerraron" and spoken words with thoughts about linguistic texts. Included texts and quoted material are listed by the composer, in English, as follows: "Today, my heart is lonely..." / "This silence is so cruel, is hurting me so..." / (Spoken) " Promises: can't they be true or false? When you say 'I promise!' that is already a promise - even though it might be a lie. Eh, I don't like that one bit!" / (Spoken) "Unreal conditions, I swear..." / "Intertwined tears refuse to come out..." / (Spoken) "The amount of indirect sense that is usually implied is an immediate problem..." / (Spoken) "She says there is a distance between superficial …
