Nokturn

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eugeniusz Rudnik's Nokturn. Nokturn was made according to a conventional method, by typical means for a classical electronic music studio. The basic materials come from different sources and are so deeply transformed that it is difficult to recognize their origins. There is one exception - the ability to hear the flute bill that performs background functions at other musical events that take place.

Tu viens chéri(e)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bernard Heidsieck's Tu viens chéri(e). The composer recorded 5 men and 5 women saying the sentence "Tu viens, chéri(e)" 150 times in a row and then combined this recording with mixed tape. The tape is stereo, with the women at the beginning on one track and the men on another, until all voices are together on both tracks. The entire piece represents a verbal orgasm with an unexpected phenomenon of more panic in each voice than of tenderness.

Perpetusa

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Tod Lewis's Perpetusa. A 4-Channel Tape Presentation in Four Movements. In electronic music, a typical "patch" (system interconnection) will comprise an audio signal and audio/sub-audio, AC/DC controls, where various parameters of the former are modified at specific points in the signal path by the latter. In the present work, these details may be of interest, in that the signal is one of the source materials for an earlier work, Gestes II, while the controls are voltages derived from Gestes II itself. This principal patch for Perpertusa produced a proliferation of sonic materials so baffling I had at first no idea how to proceed, yet so compelling I was forced to the task. Began with small structural units (which abound in this work, where virtually every moment partakes of a structural gesture) and crept towards larger ones. Towards the end of the work, a "new" idea, as of the sound of horns or tubas, is heard. It is none other than the signal, the source (whose torn and bleeding manifestations we have been listening to all along) at last unmodified. This mournful blare (from the fortress itself) signals the conclusion and summing up.

Solipsismo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bruno D'Auzon's Solipsismo. This work combines a finished text (in Portuguese) and its relation to a musical context. The composer has tried to combine the movement between sounds and speech, a poetic language without concern for meaning and in which sound objects or musical phrases may more easily support a concept or an image than words. The piece is divided into five parts, with the middle part playing a relaxing role where the theme is no longer human language.

Where Sea Meets Sky Part I

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of John Rimmer's Where Sea Meets Sky Part I. This piece consists of two parts. Part 1 an electronic piece, Part 2 an instrumental piece which is an outgrowth of the electronic music. The work was inspired by a plane journey from Australia to New Zealand on a particularly beautiful, dead day. The elements of blue void and cloud formations provide the force for the piece which falls into several sections each separated by a length silence. The final section contains a spoken reference to the poem "Those Others" by Ian Wedde, narrated on this tape by the poet. "The sea does not meet the sky. They kiss only in our minds. They are priceless in that space which recedes forever where we make them lovers forever."

Simple Electronic Symphony

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Miroslav Bázlik's Simple Electronic Symphony. This piece is arranged into four rather independent parts: Sonata, Cantus firmus, Madrigal and Ciaccona, designations of which reveal the author's effort to make the cyclic form of a symphony. The polarity of traditional and unconventional can be found also in the use of vocal or pre-composed material in a variety of transformations by studio means so that the cycle loses neither homogeneity nor tension.

Barisphère

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Zoltan Pongrácz's Barisphère. The work Barisphère is the central part of a cosmic series in three parts: Luna IX, Barisphère and The Big Bang. Its title refers to the central core of the earth, consisting of molten iron and nickel, with a diameter of about 30km. The composer's intention was to create, using electroacoustic means, a program music that excites the cosmic imagination of the listener. The sound material is made up of both synthetic and natural sounds rigorously structured by certain mathematical operations. Both rhythmically and formally, the proportions of the work are borrowed from the various measures of the earth. The treatments used are: transpositions, filtering, ring modulations, phase shifts, envelope transformations, feedback, reverberations, etc.

Recording of Jukka Ruohomäki's Pisces. The sound texture of this piece is exceptionally dense and compounds over one hour of mixed concrete and electronic sounds into six minutes. Some of the materials were originally made for a radio play in which people go through very painful experiences which finally transform them into fish.
