Aux lampions

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bertand Dubedout's "Aux lampions" ("To the lanterns"). Lampions are small oil lamps, formerly popular as a carriage light. It is a concrete piece in three movements: "Bal convexe" ("Convex ball"), "Le cocher" ("The coachman"), and "Sous les planches" ("Under the boards"). For writers like Bulgakov, Gogol, and Chekhov, the ball scene is often a story of action, tragedy, or desperation; the ball can ruin an existence or bring hope. Delight, delusion, and loneliness are the multiple stigmata of the ball. The sound materials of the piece are all concrete sounds that are based on reality. The sound forms escape any precedence, combining to create images of incongruous weddings like in an agitated dream.

Aw/wW

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Miloš Petrović's Aw/wW ("Anton with-without Webern") for tape, interpreted by Ruža Petrović, Paul Pignon, and Miloš Petrović. Petrović uses the sound and structure in Anton Webern's works as a way of broadening the sound media in his own work. He places this work in a space defined by primal elements of different media, which allows for a greater number of operations on the speech-gesture relationship, while contributing to the cohesiveness of the result. Magnetic tape-transfected parts of Webern's composition, purely electroacoustic segments and short quotes from the composer's work. The tape was made in the electronic studio pf Belgrade Radio-Television. The work was written and presented first in 1981.

Clair-Obscur

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Clair-Obscur, commissioned by the Musical Research Group, was composed in 1981-1982. The title refers to the chiaroscuro found in Rembrandt's works: the play of light and shadows that suggests a quasi-autonomous life on the surface of these paintings. In the composition, we find this game, realized in the sound matter, on the surface of which there are perpetual changes of nuances, colors and rhythm. Throughout today's western idiom and the technical means employed, we can hear distant echoes of certain popular music without being able to locate them. Thus very old and very current sources are integrated in a new sound world.

East Wind

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
A recording of Barry Truax's East Wind for amplified recorder and four soundtracks. This work creates an intimate relation between the soloist, who performs on both alto and tenor recorder, and the tape, whose sounds are entirely derived from the modern and Renaissance soprano, alto, tenor, and contrabass recorders. The transformed sounds on tape create a "larger than life" image of the recorder through its harmonic drones, its extensions of human breath, its pipe-like resonances and percussive transients, and moreover, through reference to its history of creating melody in the various related instruments that are found in many cultures. The live part interacts closely with the tape environment, mimicking it, commenting on it, riding its waves, and in the end, restraining it, as suggested by the I Ching hexagram Number 9, The Taming Power of the Small. Rain clouds in China, observes the I Ching, are brought by the east wind; it condenses water vapor into clouds, but in this case is not strong enough to create rain. The work is dedicated to Peter Hannan who commissioned it with the aid of the Canada Council. The tape part was realized in the Sonic Research Studio at Simon Fraser University, and …

Eso silencios

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Coriún Aharonián's "Esos silencios" ("Those silences"). "Esos silencios" are the silences of our daily vital experience of the seventies in almost all Latin America. "We do not desire them, but they surround us always, until we finally succeed in breaking them," Aharonián wrote. It exclusively uses materials of microphonic origin. Some of the sounds have been made with instruments constructed in Guatemala by Joaqu’n Orellana. The decision to bring to life the piece at that historic moment was convergent with the emotional experience that the pricking edges of the delicate drawings by the Argentinian-Uruguayan Mar’a Carmen Portela and the gagged yell of the dramatic paintings by the Uruguayan Hilda Lopez. In Esos silencios there is a will to establish large, apparently static, areas, with latent tensions, in a structure of full hard edges, almost without the concession of transitions.The piece was originally composed in 1978 and was revised in 1981. It was realized in Elac, the studio of Montevideo. The materials of departure have been produced by the author
