Son recif

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jacqueline Ozanne's "Son recif" for voice and tape. This piece comes from a work on the myth of the sirens and includes texts written on this theme in their original languages. As the singer/speaker repeats the story, it is crossed by the sounds of these languages, by songs that cannot continue, as well as successive states of emotion. The electroacoustic tape plays a constant dramatic role: sometimes worrisome, sometimes reassuring, sometimes enveloping presences, it continually influences the interpreter in their vocal and dramatic production. The performance includes a video projection.

De front (Quatuor)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pierre Jodlowski's De front (Quatuor). The idea of ​​this piece is based on a set of writings around the processes of aggression in humans and animals, as well as on the notion of frontality (which relates to the intermediate, fuzzy zones of our experience - physical or intellectual). The principle of the work (hence the precision quartet) is based on the development, "in concentric circles," of four groups or entities: 1. clarinet / trumpet; 2. percussion; 3. string quintet; 4. parts electronics. These gradually close in on the listener. This convergence takes place through processes of accumulations and encounters in which perception passes from individualized states to a group feeling.

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, …

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.
