The genesis of Kazan
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pekka Sirén's "The genesis of Kazan" for voice and tape. The composition is based on the Finnish text of an old poem of the Mordovian people. It is a mythological folk tale from that culture. After encountering the tapestry collection of A. O. Heikel which portrayed the Cheremis and Mordove peoples, Sirén was inspired to think of a new musical notation and to set one of these tapestries to music. He chose the poem "The Founding of Kazan" from the "Heimokanne" collection published in 1930 and translated by Otto Manninen as the basis of the composition. Sirén's goal was to depict not only the cultural history but also to research the dramatic expression of the actor. who plays four characters: the narrator, Marja, the father, and the mother. The differentiation of these characters is in the form of sound material that is subject to many stages of modifications. The piece was realized and recorded at the Experimental Studio of Helsinki Radio.

Skelelemedania
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hal Freedman's Skelelemedania. This piece falls into three sections; the first and third combine live and tape sounds, and the second is for tape alone. The piece as a whole represents an expansion of the middle tape section. The more purely electronic layers were composed to complement or contrast with the vocal elements. The first and third sections make use of tape echo and delay systems. The timing of the repetitions allow the delay to be heard not as feedback but as a continuous evolution of texture and harmonic, melodic, and contrapuntal interplay.

Quadratwellenklangwurst
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Martin Sierek's Quadratwellenklangwurst. The piece is based on micro-intervals through the use of square-wave oscillations. These exact intervals were only achievable with a digital rectangle generator. In the composition, the higher pitched parts of the two harmonies are fed to the cohesive basic tones and a whole sound becomes a glittering sound spectacle. The intervals and the number of individual rectangles constantly increase during the composition and generate acoustic phenomena and end in a cluster. The only "ordinary" intervals, a big second after and then a minor third, are just decoration.

He met her in the park
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Dodge's "He met her in the park," poetry by Richard Kostelanetz. The poem consists of a boy-meets-girl story that is told eight times, and the retellings abridged versions of the previous ones, sometimes reversing the gender roles until the final retelling is just "He met her in the park." In the composition, the lines are read by a male and female actor alternating lines and each telling of the story is articulated in a different way. The voices are synthesized with melodies, and over the piece, the voices become understood more like music which echoes the original language.

Recording of D. Gareth Loy's Nekyia. The title refers to the eleventh chapter of Homer's The Odyssey in which Odysseus and his men have just escaped the enchantment of Circle's Island and are about to experience the demonic confrontation of the souls from Hades, in order to consult with tierces for how to return to Ithaca. The music, though not narrative, uses images of enchantment and demonic confrontation to explore the existential position of the hero to evoke the same moods in the audience.

Mugl Entsteigt
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Günther Rabl's Mugl Entsteigt. This piece awakens the ear with new and expressive sounds: dazzling lines, clusters of Argentinian sounds, a kind of organ with soft shapes, an ostinato with colors and tasty traces, all this intertwines with humor and vivacity in real tests of symphonic development where electro-acoustic musicians rarely succeed. The work reveals a temperament, which is rare, here as well as elsewhere.

Satumaisema
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Marja Vesterinen's Satumaisema ("Fairy-tale Landscape") performed by Marja Vesterinen. The piece begins with an image of empty space with strange unknown planets passing over the observer. A raw chord, formed from the interval of the third and produced with the aid of amplitude modulation, symbolizes the friction against the outer atmosphere as the traveler reaches the vicinity of the fairy-tale planet. From beneath the layer of misty clouds is revealed a beautiful land of sweetness and verdure.

Mappings
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of James Dashow's Mappings. This piece is in three large sections, each of which explores a particular kind of texture by developing the composition or structural possibilities implied in the timbral relationships between the cello and the electronic sounds. At the same time, each section contains forward and/or backward references to later/earlier material. In the third section, the cello/tape integration is brought to its maximum by turning the solo instrument into what might be called a “prepared cello,” using paper clips to resemble an electronic ring modulation.

Sous le regard d'un soleil noir

Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Francis Dhomont's "Sous le regard d'un soleil noir" )"Under the Glare of a Black Sun") performed by the speakers Pierre Louet, Marthe Forget, and Arthur Bergeron. This is the original recording of the piece that was created in 1982. The text is primarily by Ronald D. Laing and the piece also features quotes by Plato, Franz Kafka, and K. Georg Buchner. The eight sections of the work were inspired by reading the work of the psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Ronald D Laing. The eight sections of the piece are as follows: 1. Pareil a un voyageur perdu (Like a Traveler Who's Been Lost); 2. Engloutissement (Engulfment); 3. Arrête! Arrête! Elle me tue (Stop it. Stop it. She's Killing Me); 4. Implosion; 5. Le moi divisé (The Divided Self); 6. Citadelle intérieure (Inner Citadel); 7. Pétrification (Petrification); 8. Le message quand vient le soir (The Message at the Coming of Night). The piece focuses on the experience of schizophrenia, something Dhomont calles a "particular form of human tragedy... the dissolution of the being and the exploding of personality, where a universe of implacable confinement is constructed." The "clinical commentaries" of the narrators, as the comments of a therapist/coryphaeus (though not …
