Crying the Laughing and Golden

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Crying the Laughing and Golden is a tape work created in 1983 at the electronic studios of Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam. The sounds of a woman laughing and whispering form the basis of most of the sounds in the piece. Studio techniques of multi-tracking, layering, filtering, and modulation were employed as well as synthesis of original sounds. The composer evokes the inner world of a woman's mind, evoking various emotional states of eroticism, violence, joy, fear and ultimately calm. The work has been presented several times in such cities as Amsterdam, Brussels, Heidelberg, Kassel, Los Angeles, New York, Memphis, Atlanta, and Boston. It is the soundtrack for an experimental video by Paul Muller entitled Reflections in a Sound Mirror which has won numerous awards in Milan, Montreal, Sienna, and Berlin. The video was recently acquired in the permenant collections of both the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Department of Visual Arts of the Dutch government.

Dialouge for Kendang and Tape

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
The kendang is a Javanese drum. In Javanese music, the drum sounds are onomatopoetic, that is they are duplications of spoken language. An appropriate kendang player, however, will always tend to enrich his sound repertoire by imitating arbitrary sounds of the environment. My composition Dialogue refers to this. First the computer-generated sounds are introduced in an onomatopoetic way and imitated by the kendang player. Then the computer sounds develop in a way as to move finally far beyond the expressive power of the kendang. The natural and the synthetic sounds enter in a heavy conflict leading to a climax. The contrast is, however, bridged eventually by fragments of the Javanese music "Subakastawa" in the tender Slendro-9 tuning. The piece was created at Utrecht Muziekcentrum on the 24th of January 1984 with the collaboration of the Javanese kendang player Supangah Rahayu (Paris).

Divertimento nostalgico

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Divertimento Nostalgico / 4 Puertas", is an electroacoustic work. The variety of the language used characterizes it as divertomento, since in it very simple modal or tonal melody lines are interlaced in search of a more complex language or sound discourse. These lines or melodic games, are transformed at times into a material of great density producing and proposing a strange and different way of sound relation. At other times, traditional music emerges as an auditory need, as an act of repose. The almost infantile counterpoint becomes adult complexity, the dislocated game passes from the known to the surprising and in the same moment it is recognized again. Doors are surprises behind which there is always something ... Nostagia can appear anywhere ... music is a memory. This work was composed in 1983, in ARTE 11.

Exil, Chant II

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
In this admirable poem, everything is included: rhythm, velocities, movements, spaces, materials, numbers and form. Music puts at the service of the text natural images / movements, their synthetic imitation and transformation chosen for their expressive character. Of symphonic character by the wide variety of sound sources, the mixing creates uniformized energy textures, of melted character, vertical, or, on the contrary, contrapuntal chains. Exile: moment of transition between two worlds ... Directed at the analogue studio Métamorphoses d'Orphée, Musics & Research, Ohain (Belgium) with the radio creation fund of the French Community of Belgium for the new version.

Fantasies

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Fantasies for Soprano Saxophone and Tape was written in 1983 for saxophonist Kenneth Fischer. It is dedicated to him and to the memory of Peter Tod Lewis. The music commemorates Lewis' wit and taste for the unexpected. Each movement addresses a different facet of his rich personality. The first movement, "Imminence," is a tongue-in-cheek serial work, involving grotesque tape sounds and robust counterpoint between the tape and the saxophone, resolving to an uncertain and hazy cadence. The second movement, "Remember," is a gentle recollection of Lewis' warmth, punctuated by a cry of grief at the end. The final movement, "Homage (Little Birds)," is a rollicking juxtaposition of the classic and the popular in 20th century music. The lyricism of the saxophone music is violated repeatedly and finally squelched by the tape's jolly violence, spiced by quotations from contemporary rock and roll. With the exceptions of the "rock" quotations, all of the analog tape sounds were created using complex concrete manipulation of loops of gong, cymbal, and almglock attacks. The work was realized in the Electronic Music Studio of the University of Georgia.
