Recording of Mia Schmidt's Aï∂a ∂omi. The spoken word, on which the composers short composition for tape "a rose is a rose" is basing, transfers two antithetical messages.

La Confession

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This work was created from a story entitled "The Confession" that I wrote in 1989. In Spanish originally, it was translated into Hebrew, French, English and German. Some of these texts in different languages have been integrated into the work. "Confession" records the psychological oscillations - from mental stability to madness or vice versa - that the protagonist goes through. "The Confession" of the human voice, the electronic instruments (synclaiver), the acoustic instruments (harp, trombone, cello, flute, percussion) and the concrete sounds create a semantic interaction with the syntax of the musical language.

Flurstück

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ipke Starke's Flurstück. The composer denotes "Flurstück" as meaning a piece of countryside, a rural landscape (Flur), which is private property; this is important to a central theme of ownership and its interactions with natural environments vs more "technical" atmospheres. It is described as such: The background of the piece is the dismemberment of the landscape, the subdivided land. From this are born the images. Fields, travel, property, appropriation and expropriation, the battle, fields of march in songs of the consequences. The beautiful atmosphere is disturbed. The notion of ownership must appear in the title: we listen differently when we think of ownership. The composer's interest is in particular in the different silences that were recorded in the countryside in specific favorite places. Added to this are "technical" atmospheres, incidences and "hinges" which oppose natural environments, and which are a reflection and documentation of their confrontation, of the division of the earth. The very precise measurement of the landscape is transmitted to the structuring of the piece by precisely measured durations, unequal, rhythmic, but not insertable into a frame. After the journey through these images of boundaries and fences, and faced with this frustrating experience, the composer notes …

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, …

Les Vusions

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ulrich Süsse's Les Vusions. Rabelais' ideologies and visions are musically represented in this piece. This is done by building structures and walking away from them. The structures are taken from the sound (preferably from a precise vocal) and the continuation of the language of Rabelais. There is the use of everyday normal objects, but the technique of electronic transformation demonstrate direction and transition.

Sieben Stufen

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hans Tutschku's Sibeben Stufen. This is an electro-acoustic composition based upon the poem "Verfall" (decline, decay) by Georg Trakl. All the sounds are derived by manipulations of two recordings: the poem spoken by four different voices (German and French) and four chosen German main-words sung seven different pitches and the same for the French speech. The piece is structured in 7 parts which each represent at once an approach and distortion of the text.

3 elektronische Studien

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Lothar Voigtländer's 3 elektronische Studien. The basis for the composition are the poems of the poet Erich Arendt. The poems were written around 1925 in his Expressionist creative period. Accordingly, the compositional means: concrete musical material is mixed with electronic sounds to achieve a strongly expressive and suggestive associative effect. It is less thought of as a "setting" of the texts, but should be added to the often strongly symbolic language formulations as a different, musical dimension. The vocals and the piano usually work live. The piano is mostly treated as unrecognizable - this is to achieve a seamless insertion into the electro-acoustic sound material. In a performance, both piano and singer can be electro-acoustically amplified and to a lesser extent technically manipulated (reverberation, iteration, etc).
