Reflective Image

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The composer writes: "I feel that there is an evocative relationship between oboe and soprano saxophone. The oboe is an instrument with considerable history and has a powerful expressive ability to conjure and invite. The saxophone is a more modern instrument which can connote a sensuous, improvisatory music. In Reflective Image I have addressed this relationship. The oboe begins the piece, inviting the music. Through the course of the work the two instruments investigate their own sound potentials, both of tone and various noise elements. The two merge in complex interweaving, leaving the saxophone to reflect and complete the piece, releasing the music. The relationship of the two instruments is amplified and further explored by the music on tape. The tape consists entirely of sounds generated by the two acoustic instruments. Michael Ericson and Tridib Kumar Pal provided the original material for the oboe and saxophone sounds respectively. By using these instruments as sources for the music on tape a kind of integration is established between and among all of the sounds of the piece. There is an essential aspect of overlap and interaction between the electronic music and the acoustic music. Each of the three instruments develops the elements …

Flurstück

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ipke Starke's Flurstück. The composer denotes "Flurstück" as meaning a piece of countryside, a rural landscape (Flur), which is private property; this is important to a central theme of ownership and its interactions with natural environments vs more "technical" atmospheres. It is described as such: The background of the piece is the dismemberment of the landscape, the subdivided land. From this are born the images. Fields, travel, property, appropriation and expropriation, the battle, fields of march in songs of the consequences. The beautiful atmosphere is disturbed. The notion of ownership must appear in the title: we listen differently when we think of ownership. The composer's interest is in particular in the different silences that were recorded in the countryside in specific favorite places. Added to this are "technical" atmospheres, incidences and "hinges" which oppose natural environments, and which are a reflection and documentation of their confrontation, of the division of the earth. The very precise measurement of the landscape is transmitted to the structuring of the piece by precisely measured durations, unequal, rhythmic, but not insertable into a frame. After the journey through these images of boundaries and fences, and faced with this frustrating experience, the composer notes …

Espaces - Paradoxes

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Patrick Ascione's Espaces - Paradoxes. This work is made up of six movements: Couleur Split; póles inverse; Ecran de fossiles; chansons sphérique; tessons bleu; and damse monochrome. The alternation of spatial imagined situations that oppose each other, respond to or overlap each other; in return, giving meaning and life to the sound form themselves. Thus, a specific form of speech is dependent on the simultaneous and successive perception of all these planes, trajectories and centers of transmission of distinct sounds in the air.
