Recording of Philippe Blanchard's La Boîte de Pandore.

Recording of Burt Warren's Racter and Eliza- A computer opera (of mistakes). For computer voice synthesis. Racter and Eliza are two computer programs which were early attempts at artificial intelligence. The computers were ran by feeding the outputs of one into the input of the other and they were able to interact. Using an Amiga computer little speech synthesis was used, and the voices were fed through a malfunctioning pitch to voltage converter; resulting the electronic accompaniment.

Recording of Eric Chasalow's Left to his own devices (To Milton Babbitt at 80). In this work, the composer combined archival interviews with Milton Babbitt with a virtual RCA synthesizer. This music draws on quotations from Babbitt’s instrumental music performed by the sounds of the RCA. The text composited of phrases that Milton has spoken many times over the years. The composer has tried to intensify these phrases by building a dramatic, musical structure both from them and around them.

Recollections concludes the Time Past series of works started in 1981. It examines three key ideas in the works of Marcel Proust - time, memory and dreams - in the context of a solo performer struggling to reconstruct the opening of Dante's Vita Nuova. (He's forgotten the words, perhaps even how to speak and is learning the process all over again.) The amplified solo voice is integrated or contrasted with two tapes (heard simultaneously). One is based upon vocal sounds processed using the Fairlight II Computer Music Instrument, the other upon a simple montage of texts and abstracted fragments. Recollections was commissioned by the vocal group Vocem for Alan Belk with funds made available by Greater London Arts. The tape was realised in the Electroacoustic Music Studio at City University, London between November 1985 and January 1986. It was first performed by Alan Belk and the composer at an Electro-Acoustic Music Association Concert at The Place, London on the 20th of January 1986.
