Sensors IV

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alcides Lanza's Sensors IV performed in 1984 by the McGill Concert Choir, conducted by Christopher Reynolds. The tape was realized at the Composer's studio (SHELAN Studio) and McGill University EMS in Montreal, QC, Canada. The piece explores different techniques of vocal wiring, especially the relationship of semantics, languages, and memory. The word "Memory" constitutes the entire text for the piece - using letter sound, recombinations of the word, and adding syllables from other languages that share similar etymology. Recording of the word "memories" -- Meg Sheppard's voice -- is used in the realization of the piece.

Tramos

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eduardo Bértola's Tramos for tape. The piece was made from two sound sources: radio broadcasts and direct recordings of popular events. These materials were structured by simple juxtaposition excluding the mixes and any kind of development of the original sound. It is therefor a purely horizontal structure in which we note the union of fragments of hard edge, perfectly delimited, similar to that used in some works of North American Pop Art. In this way, Bértola expresses his own point of view on the cultural significance and the non-significance of radio mass media in the countries of Latin America.

India vieja que pretebde volverse joven Tomando sangre de condor

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of José Halac's India vieja que pretebde volverse joven Tomando sangre de condor. The India vieja (old Indian woman) sings the Baguala, (traditional folk song from the West North of Argentina) expressing her wish to become young by means of drinking the blood of the Condor (immense and majestic bird from that area), in order to be able to enjoy sex and life once again. This beautiful and magical idea inspired me to create this piece. Originally she says the text first beating her "Caja" (Indian snare drum) and then she sings the same text also using her caja. Before I decided that my input would be "in between" the spoken and the sung sections, imposing the idea of getting old all along the piece, using the speed of the words and the stretching of the voices to reflect the idea. The result is at the same time mystical and depicting age, so that there is still a chance of going back in time, of becoming young again even with the strong and irrevocable reality imposed by myself.
