Recording of Riccardo Dapelo's Zu klugen Gestirnen. For soprano and tape. The work is derived from a picture poetry of Paul Klee. The composer tries to separate elements common to Klee's theory. The starting point is a small sound gesture: an upward exponential function. This function shapes all the steps of the work in a motion from noise to sound. The attempt is to build a self-similar structure with matching between small details and larger forms.

Recording of Lou Mallozzi's Aquapolis. The sound material is language and ambient recordings. The text is written in English, and has been translated into German and Venetian Italian. There are aquatic sounds, body sounds, and sounds of physical labor. Conceptually, the piece is based on a fictional trans-historical walk through an aquatic city, loosely based on Venice. The piece is in four sections: Preamble, 2000 Years Ago, 200 Years Ago, and This Year.

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.

Recording of Hans Ulrich Humpert's Candide: Unterwegs - en cheminn en el camino - Away. This piece includes periods of overlapping voices, with voices speaking in French, German, English, and Spanish; sometimes these overlaps consist of two voices in different languages, sometimes more.

Recording of David Prior's Hymne an die materie. "An die Materie" was written for dancer/ choreographers R. The piece was inspired by a poem by French Jesuit mystic Pierre Theilhard de Chardin in its German translation. The piece was primarily intended for an anglophone audience, giving the opportunity to use the text for it's complex morphologies. Although inextricable from the recording technologies which made it possible, and in stark contrast to much of my other work, the lines or layers suggested by the multi-track method by which the vocal or instrumental 'performances' were played into the computer.

Recording of David Prior's An die materie. Written for dancer, choreographers, voice, and electronics. The relationship established between the music and the movement, was carefully considered throughout the collaborators. The piece was inspired by a poem by French Jesuit mystic Pierre Theilhard de Chardin in its German translation.

Recording of James Dashow's Media Survival Kit. This work is a lyric satire in three parts for radio. This instruments heard include: harp, contrabass, percussion, cello, and soprano voice. The processed pre-recorded sound were put through synthesis which was done using a MUSIC30 system. The three differing movement are titled: Nico, Crema (Cream), and Tutti Collegati (We're All Connected).

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, …
