Chréode I

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Jean-Baptiste Barrière: "Chréode " is a borrowed term from morphology and biology (from the Greek "cre" it is necessary," and "Odos" path: Necessary path). It is used here as a metaphor for a systematic and intersecting investigation of the material and the organization. It is about my time of a generic title for a set of computer works, of which "Chréode I " is the first element. Although the materials are very worked, the attention in this piece carries more specialty on the organization. "Chréode i " is the first step towards a grammar of processes that I would like to attempt to elaborate. This research on musical processes, their fields of action and their limits, has been thought as a strategy of approach to the musical territory, as it is found revolutionary by the possibilities offered by the computer. A very general destination for this project was experimenting with different types of organizations, and a higher level of learning about the time structures formally. The compositional structures as well as partitions have been elaborated in the programming environment forms with the help of Pierre Coine and Yves Knob. The material sound has been chosen to allow a certain type …

Chreode I

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean-Baptiste Barriere's Chreode I. The title Chreode I serves here as a metaphor for a systematic and intersecting investigation of material and organization. At the same time, it is a generic title for a set of computer works, of which "Chreode I" is the first element. Although the materials are very elaborate, the attention in this piece is more specifically on the organization. This research on musical processes, their fields of action and their limits, was conceived as a strategy for approaching the musical territory, as it is renewed by the possibilities offered by the computer. A very general destination of this project was therefore to experience different types of organizations, and at a higher level to learn how to structure them in time and formally. The compositional structures as well as the scores were developed in the FORMES programming environment with the help of Pierre COINTE and Yves POTARD. The sound materials have been chosen to allow some type of control over the timbre, focused on a small number of very compositionally relevant parameters. Thus the work on the timbre is essentially based on the compression and the expansion of the formants or the spectral envelopes, this …

Incontro con Rama

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Incontro con Rama" was created for the first time in 1982 after a work of absolute complementarity between the indications, the aspirations of Luigi Ceccarelli and the technical practice of Renzo Brocculi: a splendid creature generated in a single week of close engagement with two trombones, a tuba and a complex electronic device for delaying and accumulating sounds, built by the author to do this work. The writing of this work moves on two main tracks: on the one hand the preference to the timbric dimension and to the spectral microvariations, on the other the almost complete absence of melody, in the usual sense of the term. The reference to the rhythm of breathing, as an alternative to the heart rhythm (which music usually favors), however, is the only supporting base of all the architecture on which I conceived this piece. Certainly these that we have mentioned are rules that postpone more to oriental conceptions of sound that to those of our music: in "Incontro con Rama" we can clearly recognize the "OM", the fundamental sound that generates the universe according to Indian mythology. Indeed we can say that certainly "Incontro con Rama" not other than the "OM" in its …

Recording of John Michael Clarke's Soundings. This piece is an exploration of the sound world of the cello from which the title “Soundings.” The title refers to “resonances,” the tape being a reflection of what the cello plays “live.” Indeed, most of the tape sounds come from recorded cello sounds that were later transformed into an electronic music studio. There is also in the middle part, some sounds produced by computer.

Recording of John Michael Clarke's Soundings. This piece is an exploration of the sonic world of the cello hence the title "Soundings". The title relates to "resonances", the tape being a reflection of what the "live" cello is playing. This is because most tape sounds come from recorded cello sounds that were then processed in an electronic music studio. There are also some computer generated sounds in the middle part.
