Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of David Evan Jones's "Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)." "Pashanti" is a Sanskrit word that refers to the level of thought that immediately predicts the recognition of speech as sound. This composition uses a hybrid computer musical system to filter vowel sound sources and vowel-like sounds. The text consists of the vowels i / a / u / e / i in sequence with particular transition velocities form the word "Yaweh" (the name of the Hebrew god). This series of vowels is continuously permuted to form the text of Pashanti through the composition.

Invocation
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hugh Le Caine's Invocation. The piece opens with a trio of three recorded sounds: a glass that is broken with a hammer, a ping-pong ball hitting a racket, and a drop of water. These sounds are the "instruments" used throughout the piece. Drips are configured as fast ascending and descending glissandi. A series of chords is constructed from a sustained movement of glass stamps. The sound of the ping-pong ball - from the left to the right - gradually accelerates. Severe rumbling and sharp joints appears as sudden changes in channels multiply. The introduction of these gestures disrupts the orderly progression of loops and the inclusion of small strips of paper connected to the ribbon which produces rough and jerky sounds further accentuate this breaking effect. Towards the end of the piece, sustained sounds are played out in a chord, but as soon as this effect is installed, the tape slows down and stops, as if someone had unplugged the music player. Then we hear a particularly violent sound of glass breaking.

De Inwerking
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joost Van de Goor's De Inwerking ("Influence"), which refers to a sign from the book of changes, I Ching. It refers specifically to the 31st hexagram which is based on the image of water, a small like on a mountain. In the piece, the clarinet (water) is looking for contact with the soundtracks (firm and unmoveable). The soundtracks were made by manipulating recorded clarinet sounds and composed using chance operations (using dice and coins). It was recorded in the electronic studio of the "Brabants Conservatorium" in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Neap Tide
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jaap Vink's Neap Tide. Neap Tide is the last part of the bigger work "Tide" and can be considered an independent composition. Tide is based on Vink's preference for recursive processes, which stemmed from the fact that the material is directly accessible to the composer who can therefore stimulate the expressivity of the sound. While sounding complex, recursive sound means sound and its derivative can be, if desired, recorded on top of each other in one action so that the sound structure becomes more or less closed. This depends on the external intervention of the composer. The derived sounds provide the coloring. This coloration can happen quickly or slowly. For "Tide," Vink chose the latter because the tide is also a relatively slow process which requires about 6.5 hours for completion. In order not to try the listener's patience too much, "Tide" is about 45 minutes long, "Neap Tide" being the 20 minute ending section of the work.

Gwendolyne descendue !
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bernard Gagnon's "Gwendolyne descendue !" for tape. Gwendolyne is an underground comic character from the 1940s. Read first glance, her adventures only seem to be excuses for exploring the possibilities of bondage, but the unity of style pervading even the smallest symbols and the obstinate repetition within the strict limits of a closed world gives them an esoteric aspect that inspired the piece. It tells the story of the forced disappearance of the heroine. The piece is dedicated the Gwendolyn's creator, John Willie.

Renascence
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jonathan Kramer's Renascence. This piece uses clarinet, tape delay system, and mixer to create a continuous melody with interspersed counter-melodies. The texture eventually becomes so dense that individual lines cannot be distinguished. The title refers to both a poem of the same title by Edna St. Vincent Millay and the rebirth of continuity from fragmentation within the piece.
