Alterego per percussioni solo e nastro

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Iván Patachich's Alterego per percussioni solo e nastro. This piece wants to use the possibilities of electroacoustic modulation in the field of percussion instruments. The score of the composition consists of four parts noted in a traditional way. The second, third and fourth parts are transformed by electroacoustic means, the first part remains without any modulation. The piece consists of short sections. During these sections, free rhythms alternate. The composition has a bridge shape, culminating at the end of the fifth section. The main modulations are: filtering with control voltage, feedback, transposition, spatialization, etc.

Alternances

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Patrick Lenfant's Alternances. Alternances explores a different aspect of other synthesizer pieces that I have previously composed. The synthesizer is used here as a generator of as varied an electronic material as possible. This material and its temporal articulation, instead of being definitively fixed on a magnetic support, will evolve according to the instrumentalist. Indeed, this one has two control pedals, piloting the synthesizer and allowing it to make coincide its playing and its musical time with the variations of the electronic material which it controls completely. Alternatively, the synth will generate pure electronic material, or the flute will interfere with it either by modifying it or by triggering it. Instrumentally, many game modes are put into action. The flute player alternates these precisely in relation to the score. The spirit of this piece is that of a "fantasy" creating ranges free of improvisation, in a way testing the flexibility of the electronic variations that can be obtained from a device that is not in the strict of the term an "instrument", but which can become so if one imagines the means to control it, to "sensitize" it to instrumental playing.

...and even the stone would cry

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The composition is a meditative work based on the cantability of basic instrumental materials - fragments of melodic and harmonic structures of a cello part - transformed by the vocoder, the digital sound processor, the equalizer and so on. It clearly shows the author's desire to establish a relationship between these "thematic materials" ostentatious timpani and dynamising structures synthetically created.

Aya

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
A recording of Chiaki Takatsuki's Aya. Waves of electronic sound twisted like threads are twisted little by little. First, a dynamic scene, making use of the revolving sound image. At the end, space of tranquility. A gyrating sound was made from the original circuit, based on two controlled amplifiers (voltage). One can find a circular sound not a circumference but in front of or behind the audience.

Brown Rice

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This piece was composed in 1982 with a Buchla 200 analog system and with a multi-track mix to produce a basic texture. A byte of curly bands with soprano voices was assembled and subsequently played by the computer using a keyboard. This gave linear and pointillistic contrasts with the harsh sounds electronically.

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.

Clepsydre

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Clepsydra is part of this vast acousmatic fresco made of steps forward and back on the first works. Composed in this last idea, this piece is the second movement of the 1st Grimoire of the "acoustic illusion", not created until tonight, devoted to the element water. The 2nd Grimoire (1982) was born before the complete creation of the 1st Grimoire. The first purification of the material therefore took place before the shaping of the initial material. However, thanks to the evolution of the experience, I wondered about the stability of my basic building and I got a clearer idea about this project. These reflections have actively served me in the development of Clepsydra. Around the "Athanor", the "Vulcan Forge" and the "Blue Corps of the Night", Clepsydre closes "perhaps" the 1st Grimoire, presenting the philiphaly houses of the acousmatic creation. This is how this work is woven with a number of natural atmospheres evoking a cloister in the rain and sounds created in the studio.

Concertino pour Saxophone Soprano

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This concertino was commissioned by Belgrade Radio and was also composed in Belgrade and is dedicated to Paul Pignon. The saxophone part at the beginning of the piece is composed quite precisely which means that we have to play everything as if it's written down. Later the sound material becomes only half sketched in note which will mean that the performer will have to rhythm, phrase and modulate dynamically. In the end there is only a text program, which is necessary, what can happen eventually and what is forbidden. With the help of which the performer must achieve a freely improvised rhythm and virtuosity. The sound material that on the tape an electronic accompaniment was produced with 10 oscillators and 45 clarinet sounds, its various groups at once together were modulated in different ways with many electronic means.

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.
