Materia: Piedras

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Alcazar Aranda's Materia: Piedras. The starting point for its realization is twofold. On the one hand, unique sound material is produced by the collision of two stones; on the other hand the composer took from number three and four as computer nuclei or speech generator, a decision that will have implications as much at micro level as structural macro. From the point of view of crossing, the work offers a certain minimalist treatment of material: repetitions of series which contain something new but which also retain part of the previous one. Change and permanence.

ChAnGE'S Music

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joseph Lloyd Anderson's ChAnGE'S Music. A translation of the composer's words, from a letter to pianist Hadley McCarroll, illuminate that the composer tends "to think of ChanG E S Music as a phonographic fantasy because it plays out in each of Dellaria's three sound recording modes: Record-as-Document, Pseudo-Document, and abstraction. In order to really begin to understand him, I believe the listener needs to have an idea of ​​who [composer John] Cage is and why he is interesting. It is also useful to be aware of the Music of Changes, since the version edited by Wergo is the pseudo document with which my piece begins, and it constitutes one of the first 'silent' pieces of Cage (with 4'33''). It is about the need for the composer's ego to step aside before the music so that it can speak clearly. The pseudo document is fun because it allows us to make someone play what has never been played, and say what has never been said, while passing it off as a kind of auditory truth. Cage's opening text where he puts forward the beginnings of all this using recordings as instruments is actually taken from a statement explaining why …

Senza Voci 3

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Senza Voci 3" finishes the series "Senza Voci", three works that over the years have been made with various techniques, but which maintain unaltered some basic characteristics concerning the sound material and musical thought related to it. Especially, "Senza Voci 3" was realized at the CSC of the University of Padua, with the help of Sylviane Sapir on the real-time system that uses Giuseppe Di Giugno's 4I processor, controlled by a PDP 11 computer. The synthesis method is the amplitude modulation and the sound material is borrowed from the previous works: four sets of frequencies which from low to high, are called Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. The relations of several degrees that take place between these sets define the articulation of the piece through a path traveled several times which goes from the individualization of single moving sound blocks to complex fusion. So this "Senza Voci is linked to the dominance of a guide set. If "Senza Voci 1", the guide set was Beta (in the middle register), "Senza Voci 2" Alpha (the most serious), the last "Senza Voci" are the Gamma and Delta sets that come to form the line important part of the speech. Another peculiarity: the extreme …

Velocity

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Batchelor's Velocity. Assorted ideas concerning outdoor, spatial environments crystallized into the concept of velocity from which this work evolved. The piece involves an exploration of the ways in which speed might be implied entirely through the use of sound, both real and 'unreal', and placed within a context that allows it free reign as a musical device. Cinematic elements suggesting movement have thus been combined with gestures and textures of varying energy and complexity the electroacoustic medium permitting fluid interaction between the two.

Distance, Dance, Discern

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bret Battey's Distance, Dance, Discern. This work began with a recording session where the bassoon uses a wide range of sounds and timbres that can be performed on the instrument, including key clicks, tongue-pops, reed crows, and multiphonics. Excerpts from this recording provided the basis for many of the sounds heard in the pre-recorded, computer-generated portion. A conceptual focus for the creation of the piece was the psychology of consciousness and desire. The three words of the title correspond to the three major sections of the piece.
