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."

Recording of Hilda Dianda's "...Despues el silencio..." ("...After the silence..."). The piece is complex in its apparent simplicity. The slow evolution of the piece, with its predominantly dark and static sounds from which material of greater brightness and mobility emerge occasionally. Silence also plays an important role in the composition. It was realized at the SISMAT Laboratory.

Simple Electronic Symphony
Access:

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.

Recording of Neil B. Rolnick's Empty Mirror. This piece uses as sound sources the music of peoples distinctly apart from the tradition of Western Classical music. The composer makes use of the complex interplay of harmonic and rhythmic motion and tries to shape the sounds from diverse and trans-cultural nature of the original material.

Recording of Jozef Rychlik's Musinelle. Material of the piece was extracted from the jazz piece (looped) and processed through the following devices: 8 Octave Filter Bank, Random Voltage Generator, and Pitch-to-Voltage Converter. The new material was completed with the electronic sounds from Synthi AKS. Particular sound and rhythmical structures were edited and sequenced through the preciously composed narration with wide rhythmical and space expression. Editing was made with scissors and special splice tape.

Adagio
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Raoul de Smet's Adagio. For this work the composer had proposed harmony and relaxation "before anything else.” From there, a slow and steady tempo and very simple form. The sound material is provided by twelve ordinary sound generators. The work begins with a chord in the treble, slowly emerging from the silence or void sound and sustained by a regular pulsation in the bass, the result of differential sounds. Then several new sounds are added while others change timbre, octave, or dynamics causing different sounds of other types. During a slow rise in crescendo, short glissandi roam and decorate the sound space until the climax is reached. A sound column, containing twelve frequencies, comes to rest for about a minute, allowing the ear to move in the audience and thus capture the sound shimmer. This passage is the opposite of the sound of nothingness and could thus appear as a sound universe where one could also lose the notion of time. A brutal blow breaks this sound column like a spring too long stretched. This universe collapses slowly to retreat into the depths of the sound nothingness from which it came. The work was realized on an analogue …

Tramos
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Eduardo Bértola's Tramos for tape. The piece was made from two sound sources: radio broadcasts and direct recordings of popular events. These materials were structured by simple juxtaposition excluding the mixes and any kind of development of the original sound. It is therefor a purely horizontal structure in which we note the union of fragments of hard edge, perfectly delimited, similar to that used in some works of North American Pop Art. In this way, Bértola expresses his own point of view on the cultural significance and the non-significance of radio mass media in the countries of Latin America.

Magma fuel cell. [For energy extraction from magma or for electrochemical protection of heat exchangers in magma]
A high temperature, solid-electrolyte fuel cell is described which uses molten rock having oxidizable constituents as a fuel. The principles of this magma fuel cell have been successfully demonstrated and power densities of 88 W/m/sup 2/ have been achieved. If power densities can be substantially increased, the magma fuel cell may find numerous applications in magma tap projects to increase the efficiency of energy extraction from magma sources or may provide the energy necessary for the electrochemical protection of the heat exchanger materials placed in the corrosive magma environment.
