Recording of Jesús Torres' Himno a las lesbianas. This is an electroacoustic work that includes sound objects of the same type (news, voices, groans, etc.). These sounds create a collage that shows a distorted view of humor in a cumulative and destructive series. This series is linked to Schwitters' Dadaism, the notion of surrealist chance and the desire to dissolve the border between art and life. Overall, it represents the aesthetic of negation.

Prince prospero's
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Natasha Barrett's Prince prospero's. The composer describes this piece as a "sonification" of Edgar Allan Poe's short story 'The Mask of the Red Death'. The music follows closely to the events and evocations found within the text and includes samples of "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saëns.
