Transits élémentaires
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Francis Dhomont's "Transits élémentaires" ("Elementary Transits"). The piece is a question of a crossing that could be compared - very modestly - to that of Dante's Virgil. From fire through air, from central magma to the high layers of the atmosphere, the traveler crosses through then Alice's looking glass. The perception then becomes mental. At the formal level, the piece has five concave movements, all of unequal duration articulated by a constantly varied pattern, a sort of hinge. The piece was realized in Dhomont's personal studio as well of the GMEM (Centre National de Création Musicale) in Marseille for the synthesizer sound materials.

Extension 1
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Zagorka Zivkovic's Extension 1 created at the Electronic Music Studio in Stockholm. It is the first in a series of works aiming to extend the sound quality of certain live-instruments. This piece focuses on the cello and manipulating the instrument in different ways - from a low degree (transposition) to an extremely high degree (a combination of layerings of loops and permutations through the use of a Buchla synthesizer). These sounds are then juxtaposed with some pieces of the original sound material in order to give depth to the perception of the instrument.

Ite Missa est (in memoriam Rudolf Maros)
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Tamas Ungvary's Ite Missa est (in memoriam Rudolf Maros). Ite, missa est ("Go, the mass is over") ends the mass in the Catholic liturgy. "Ite, Missa est" is in part based upon gliding sounds. The noted Hungarian composer Rudolf Maros, a good friend of Ungvary, was a remarkable humanist and pedagogue, for many Hungarian composers a father figure in the word's deepest sense. Ungvary began to compose this work during the last period of Maros's life. He died before the piece was able to be presented to him.

Yttringar (utterances)
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Åke Parmerud's "Yttringar (utterances)." Form and material derived from the Fibbonacci-series. One of the goals of the piece is to avoid the regular behavior of instruments and electroacoustic sounds as clearly separated entities by creating rapid "shadowings" between the tape-part and the live-part. The piece is performed with the conductor hearing a separate channel click-track in a head-phoneset, enabling him to keep in perfect sync with the tape-part.

Fluctuations
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Arsène Souffriau's Fluctuations for electronic tape. The sound material of the piece consists of electronically synthesized sounds that are then manipulated in fluctuations at these levels: frequencies, harmonic spectra, ring modulations, tension voltage control, filter voltage control, various waveforms and attacks, frequency and voltage conversions, and impulses. Equipment used for the realization of the piece includes MOOG Synthesizer (Concertmate), EMS Synthesizer, EMS Sequencer, CASIO Sequencer, EMS Frequency and Voltage Convenant.

Rain
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ton Bruynel's Rain for two live pianos (four pianists) and two soundtracks (through loudspeakers). The sonority of a rainshower was a model for this piece. The sounds of rain were recorded on tapes and electronically remade for vibrating strings. The noises of the rain were also used to trigger voltage-controlled apparatus. The product becomes the sound of an indoor rainshower.

Los
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alain Marchal's Los. The sound material includes percussive metal events and often violent, simple chords of three soprano voices. These elements are antagonistic to one another, where the percussive sounds attack, alter and kill the chords sung by the soprano voices. "Los" in German means "foward!" As a suffix, however, it indicated deprivation or absence. L.O.S. are also the initial of the first words of the sentence by Dante at the gates of Hell "Lasciate Ogni Speranza voi ch'entrate" ("Abandon all hope, you who enter").

The electric sinfonia
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Barton Mac Lean's The Electric Sinfonia. Sound Sources come from a string orchestra and the music for a chamber piano. The basic instrument used is the "FCMI." The expressive range of the ideas of the piece are important, raising the range from an extremely violence to an obsessive beauty. The duality of character is the thread of all the work.

Circulos Fosforescentes en fondo negro
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ricardo Mandolini's "Circulos Fosforescentes en fondo negro" ("Phosphorescent circles on a black background). The piece results from a numerical ideology of probability and determination because of the program used to create it. The title refers to the number of quadraphonic space moves that occur in the piece. It was composed in 1982 at Studio EMS in Stockholm, Sweden. The piece received a Honorary Mention from the Electroacoustic Music Festival Luigi Russolo in Varese, Italy in 1982.

Clair de lune artificiel
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Floris van Manen's "Clair de lune artificiel" ("Artificial moonlight"). It is music of silence, space and time. The transparency of the texture could be associated with the monochrome blue color. Van Manen used a hybrid system to create the piece, using a combination of analog and digital techniques. It consists of three superimposed layers, each having a number of resonance points in the sound spectrum whose total energy remains equal, but which continually change place and intensity, while seeking a balance within the spectrum. Towards the end of the piece, a new element is introduced.

DM VS Metal
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alain Marchal's DM VS Metal. This piece is divided into 3 long parts of 4, 6 and a half and a half minute(s), connected without silence. It brings together percussion elements from different species, played and worked in time: a) a series of objects that do not belong to the violin making (plates, tubes, metal plates), b) a Jazz drums, c) metal instruments from groups a- and b- played and manipulated in the studio at the same time. This first part starts ppp and quickly reaches fff. The second part is composed of a metal percussion with very long resonance and treated in perpetual glissandi. The dynamics are variable. After a final f when we hear the small percussion in its initial state, the percussion of a- and b- of the first part return ffff.
