Recording of Luigi Ceccarelli's "Abominable A" for magnetic tape.

The piece contains a recitation of all the words in the Italian vocabulary that begin with the letter A, read in sequence from voices with different stamps, rhythms, and intonations. To these are added other sequences in French, German, and English. The work is divided into fifteen sections, each of which has a different criterion for processing the timbre, rhythm, and space. It was realized at the Electronic Laboratory for Experimental Music at the Conservatory "G. Rossini" in Pesaro from 1978 to 1980.

Recording of Sandra Tjepkema's Aubade.

Recording of Sandra L. Tjepkema's Aubade. This aubade, a serenade whispered into a lover’s ear, just before dawn: It is meant, of course, as a type of erotic poem; but it is not the text alone but the finished product which constitutes the poem. The words (in English) along with complementary phonetic signs and tremulous sighs, seek out the familiar images of love poetry. Phonetic variations on the vocabulary and the breathing of sleeping, dream-talking lovers, the more literal interpretation of such images as tides-on-the-beach, stirring of bedsheets, comforted nightmares, quick leave-fakings, whistling-in-the-dark: these are the elements of this serenade.

Recording of Charles Dodge's Cascando -- An Electronic Musicalization of the Radio Play by Samuel Beckett. The original play by Beckett concerns the attempts of the "Voice" to tell a story about a man named Woburn that will satisfy the "Opener," which would allow the "Voice" to remain silent from then on forever. When the "Voice" falters or the "Opener" grows tied of hearing him, music is heard. In Dodge's version the "Opener" is played by Sam Tsoutsouvas and the "Voice" is a computer-synthesized voice based on a reading by Steven Gilborn. The music was realized using the synthetic voice as a model for its pitch and noise events.

Recording of Lars Gunnar Bodin's Dedicate to you II. A text is fragmented by the equipment of the electronic music studio and then processed to form a model of semi-subconscious communication. The voice fragments are then processed and manipulated with electronics to create the granular synthesis like sound.

Recording of Michael McNabb's Dreamsong. It features a mixture of synthesized, digitally recorded and digitally processed sounds. These sound, along with the precision control of digital processing and mixing, result in an expressive sonic continuum ranging from unaltered real sounds to those that are totally imaginary. The melodic and harmonic structure provides the framework for continuous timbral and textural transformations. The work was done using digital synthesis, processing, and sound editing programs, programs developed at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustic at Stanford University, and implemented on a PDF-10 computer. Many of the techniques that made the work possible were developed by the composer. The soprano is Marilyn Barber. It was one of six U.S. national winners in the 1978 National Composers Competition, sponsored by the League of Composers - International Society for Contemporary Music.
