Secas las pilas de todos los timbre

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Coriun Aharonian's Secas las pilas de todos los timbre. This piece comes from sound documents of different places and times connected one way or another to the composer. With one exception, all pitches have been left un-modified and while there are no electronic sounds, the piece has been composed with a computer using various software programs. The title partially quotes two lines from the lyrics of a well known tango composed by Enrique Santos DiscŽpolo in 1930, and are untranslatable. It makes reference to the idea of a society in which solidarity is scarce or difficult to find. The composer thanks the generous support of the Studio directors Georg Katzer, Georg Morawietz, and Gerd Rische, and the hospitality of the Akademie der KŸnste, Berlin.

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Fernando D. Polonuer's Breve reseña sobre los sueños, el vacío y la enfermedad. This composition is described as a program category work. It represents three steps in a painful and unconscious way to self-destruction. The dreams: the perception of loneliness and memories. The emptiness: the wake up, the light, the reflection, the comprehension. The illness: self-destruction, the fight for survival, pain and defeat. This work includes voices which have been recorded in different years. There is a voice singing fragments of a Tango called "Sus ojos se cerraron" and spoken words with thoughts about linguistic texts. Included texts and quoted material are listed by the composer, in English, as follows: "Today, my heart is lonely..." / "This silence is so cruel, is hurting me so..." / (Spoken) " Promises: can't they be true or false? When you say 'I promise!' that is already a promise - even though it might be a lie. Eh, I don't like that one bit!" / (Spoken) "Unreal conditions, I swear..." / "Intertwined tears refuse to come out..." / (Spoken) "The amount of indirect sense that is usually implied is an immediate problem..." / (Spoken) "She says there is a distance between superficial …

Requiem per una veu perduda

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eduardo Reck Miranda's Requiem per una veu perduda. For mezzo-soprano, recorded electroacoustic and live effects, made up of four movements: Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus, and Agnus Dei. This composition is an experiment on enlarging the lexicon for a piece heavily rooted in musical tradition. Virtual digital instruments, synthesized singing and manipulation of the inner structure of voice and natural sounds are the means for extending the expressive power of an ecclesiastical musical form.

Voo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of alcides lanza's Voo. The lyrics of this composition are primarily in Portuguese, but the composer specifically chose to play with the source material, basing lyrics on poems which appear in NO OUVIDO DO TEMPO/NO OLVIDO DO TEMPO, a remarkable book of poetry by the Brazilian poet and composer Gil Nuno Vaz. Special acknowledgement is given to the Brazilian poet Raul de Leoni (1895-1926), since Gil Nuno Vaz integrated into his own poems some lines from an unpublished book by de Leoni, No Ouvido do Tempo. As a result, the Portuguese blends into Spanish and Italian intentionally, acting as a catalyst joining the notions of Columbus, Italian explorer, departing from Spain to explore the unknown sea; Columbus, whose writings in Spanish showed strong traces of Portuguese and Italian; and the fact that Portuguese and Spanish are the prevalent languages from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego. In addition, by looking at the text in a kaleidoscopic way, "other" words and sentences, in existing or imaginary languages could be encountered. With all these elements, the composer "tells" the story of the opening up of a new world - struggles and religion as icons on the way to modern civilization. Voo is …

Terracota

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Fernandez Ros' Terracota. This piece was realized after taping the conversation between two people in the Veneto region in Italy. Both speaking in Veneto dialect and talk about the meaning of land, tradition and language. This conversation was later edited (with no electronic modification) and together with the edition of other elements, was turned into a dramatic portrait of the protagonists. The secret or clue of this piece lies in the sound and meaning of spoken language. All the other sonic elements act purely as support to what is already contained in the words and expressions used by the protagonists.

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, …

Grains of voices

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Åke Parmerud's Grains of voices. The piece is composed as a continuous flow where thematical ideas and voices are formed. The opening of the piece uses the biblical words of genesis where "darkness" and "light" has been substituted with "silence" and "sound". The second part of the piece has the theme of memories of childhood in the form of lullaby's and children's songs from different country's. The next section carries the theme of prayers through the combination of the provocative poetry of A. Ginsburg, a Hindu evening prayer, a Balinese and a Fijian priest, and finally a New Delhi citizens right demonstration. The last section of the piece is born as a slow transformation from the dramatic to the ritual music.
