Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Mastrogiovanni's Cuauhtémoc. The work "Cuauhtémoc" is dedicated to this young Aztec king, who defended the city of Mexico against the Spanish conquerors commanded by Hernan Cortes.

Three fragments of indigenous texts are used in the work: The first text is the one recited on the occasion of the birth of a Mexican child, and is mixed with the name Cuauhtemoc. The second text is a description of the Spanish army. The third text is a description of the city of Mexico after the cruel siege.

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.

11 september transcript

11 september

Recording of Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen's "11 september." The text is from a document called "What is MIR?" which was sent out illegally in Chile in 1974 and from the appeal of MIR two years after the taking over by the junta, on September 11, 1975. A left-wing party, MIR stayed in Chile in order to contribute as efficiently as possible to the building of the opposition. Other sound material also includes sounds from a typewriter and a demonstration at Bastad, Sweden in September 1975 at a tennis match between Sweden and Chile with more than 4,000 participants. The text is taken in small excerpts from the document in Spanish, English, Swedish, Danish, French, Dutch, and Icelandic. The piece consists of three sections overlapping each other gradually, which shows the relationship between the spoken words and the immediate danger connected with that text. The first section "as a spontaneous statement," deals with the document at its direct background: the silence is broken, in spite of the danger connected with the writing, manifolding papers that criticize the politics and methods of the junta and discuss the strategy of the opposition. The second section deals with the document as a medium of discussion. At …

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.

Chicarra's

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Chicharra's" is an ode to the Spanish landscape and the men populating this landscape. Sounds of nature such as the breath of the wind, the rushing of the rain, the rustling of the sea carry life in themselves. Thus the rustling of "Chicharra's", the cicadas, their singing narrative was recorded as a set of precious voices. These voices were sent electronically to the strings and then turned into new sounds. This process is comparable to that of instrumental music where the violin bow is coated with coniferous resin to awaken sounds. Thus the buzzing of the fly on my microphone has been transformed into a kind of huge chorus of men. With the poet Schierbeek, I exchanged the Spanish landscapes that we saw and listened to. From there, the poems are born. Poems with the subject of the little donkey, famous because irreplaceable, men work the earth, the thirst, the red earth, the dark wine, the family life and the evenings of Spain. It is the beautiful voice of Lino Calle de Segovia that I chose as an interpreter and it is by kissing the glance, in memory, the mountains of Gadarama that I consider "Chicharra's" as a tribute to …
