Little Boy

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean-Claude Risset's Little Boy computer suite for tape. The piece draws on various sound synthesis experiences that I did between 1964 and 1968, working with Max Mathews at Bell Laboratories. These experiences are described in particular in my 1969 sound catalog, which presents a recording of various synthesized sounds with the synth "scores" of these sounds: these scores are both production recipes and exhaustive descriptions of the sound. microstructure of sounds, just as a score describes the combination of various sounds. The Suite is part of a music composed for the play Little Boy by Pierre Halet (Editions du Seuil, Paris 1968), music which also includes vocal and instrumental sections. The theme of the play is the bombing of Hiroshima, relived through the fantasies of pilot Eatherly. In the Suite, the action is condensed into three parts. During the first, Flight and Countdown, the dream of the flight to Hiroshima is accompanied by moving textures, pierced by two fugitive episodes (jazz, gong) then the countdown of the bomb drop, chanted with the rigor of a metronome. In the second part, Chute, the sound travels among various rockets in the great circles of an indefinite descent: indeed the pilot …

Act of Opening

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Act of Openings" is a stereo composition made with Moog analog synthesis modules. Composed in 1968, its duration is 17'27. The score of the composition is a dense and modulated sound characterized by carefully controlled phase relationships. All the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the piece derive energy from a long, brilliant sound. Each part of the room is another glimpse of this sound, as a set of flowers form a bouquet. "Act of Openings" received the 2nd Prize at the 1969 Dartmouth International Electronic Music Competition.

Concentric. A question with two answers.

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Octavian Nemescu's "Concentric. A question with two answers." for instrumental ensemble and tape. The piece is a reaction to Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question," which is, in comparison, schizoid in nature, marked by breach, discord, disparity and incommunicability. There are three layered music layers in "Concentric" which join together to create a kind of communion that is timeless through the use of resonant harmonic issued by a fundamental sound C, placed in the deepest register, like a natural archetype (of a cosmic and supercosmic presence coming from the depths of existence).

Recording of Alain Savouret's Kiosque. This piece was created for live instruments and stereo tape. It's imagining a situation: in the center of the kiosk, someone is playing the score of their existence. Like any concert in a square, it is disturbed, distorted by external manifestations, foreign to the score. But here, in this particular situation, it is musical actions, taken over by the instrumentalists of Opus 9, which will disturb, prevent or perhaps facilitate the performance of this score.
