Chiusi nel sogno

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Diego Dall'Osto's Chiusi nel sogno. The composer writes about this piece as such: These five fragments, essential marks of inner activity, are interpreted and fixed in some of the infinite possible proposals within the ephemeral and utopic musical space. They are divining signs of sounds/sense, participating and singing in an invincible conflict, between understandable shape and an uncontrollable flux. "Chiusi nel sogno intatto di uscirne, chissà come, immuni..." ("Closed in the untouched dream of leaving it, somehow, immune"), a dream like a daily illusion and like useless hope to come out unharmed, safe from the illusion myself. The musical fluency has, then, in the sequence of time a dizzy fugacity and listening will be then the most careful way to get the nuance, sonority, relationships, enigmas, resonances, dizziness and significance.

I suoni che distilli

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Riccardo Dapelo's I suoni che distilli. Derived from the poetry of Eugenio Montale (specifically, "Resta lontano...") and utilizes high voice readings of poetry alongside sung portions in overlapping and edited forms. The text of the poetry was initially read - with only sparse, significant words being sung - by the soprano Daniela Aimale. Like the title "I suoni che distilli" (translated as "the sounds that you distill") explains, the attempt of this composition is to extract the essence, the pure sound of poetic language. This composition utilizes different techniques of processing the human voice including spectral and dynamic granulations, and vocoder; also utilized are mimetic and synthetic sounds, variously interpolated with voice grains (some original Csound instruments for morphing and granular synthesis). To obtain a sensation of movement between foreground/background the piece was developed in different levels, each with its own dynamic grade of reverberation and/or volume, laid one upon the other. The piece is dedicated to Alvise Vidolin.

Microclima II

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Marco Dibeltulu's Microclima II. This work was created as part of the open work "Les Maîtres Sonneurs" for the Synthèse festival. The intent of this work was to combine electroacoustic music with popular music. The title metaphorically represents the island in the center of the Mediterranean and the sound mimics the harsh and wild landscapes of the island with the emerald sea and ancestral music. This has been represented by the Launeddas and by the Canto a Tenore, a typical expression of island vocal polyphony.

Any resemblance is purely coincidental

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Dodge's "Any resemblance is purely coincidental" for tape. The piece aspires to represent the voice of Enrico Caruso in much the same way that Andy Warhol represented the figures of contemporary popular culture in his silk screen portraits: the voice is unmistakably that of Caruso, but with a difference. In "Any resemblance is purely coincidental," an operatic voice searches for an accompaniment: with the original orchestra, with copies of itself, with the piano, and with other computer sounds. The initial attempts are humorous; subsequently, other emotions are evoked until the loneliness of the "great performer" emerges. The voice is made with computer synthesis based on a 1907 recording of the aria "Vesti la giubba" from Ruggiero Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci sung by Enrico Caruso.
