Acéré

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alain Basso's Acéré. The intention was to create a piece about war. Different object sounds were recorded in the studio, to have a wider palette of percussion sounds. The idea is that these percussions gradually change. As in the repetition of a 'kata', a movement sequence in martial arts, the concentration becomes more intense and the sounds increasingly sharp, by playing on the harmonics they contain. To give a feeling of space to this movement, transformed soundscapes create an atmosphere with a progressive opening and a greater perception of the human presence.

Annazone

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Annazone" (Anna area), analogue concept of proximity with Amazon (Brazil equatorial forest). The singer is of Brazilian origin. During early childhood, the singer was especially impressed by the songs and cries of the birds and insects of the Brazilian forest. This sound world is entangled on several levels (vegetation, smells, noise, light, humidity in constant variation with the hours of the day and the night.) It is astonishing how much the human being is first able listen carefully to the sounds emanating from the vegetation, countless insects and multicolored birds, then imitate them, while adding their own distorting imagination In the forest the signals are slightly redundant to convey intelligibility in this complex environment. The sounds emitted may seem "vocalic" by far (allusions to our vocabulary: Kiveliukiu, Piahiuhuu, Kaijakukike, Jokokoka, Karemu, Hojonga ...), but birds and insects emit all the vocabulary of electronic music, harmonic sound more or less complex, passing through all kinds of impulse sounds until approaching the modulated noises.The volubility is so great that the listener does not succeed. s always really listen to these sound messages and tends to interpret them, especially simplify them. The singer not only imitates the song of birds, but generates, by …

Antigone: Musique

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Antigone: Musique" was designed to accompany an amateur production of the Cocteau piece. Whose convoluted intervals evoke me the sweet-mean smile of the dark forces that slumber in us. The vocal enchantments the actors themselves, which allows to lengthen the actors during the representation thus creating (at least I hope!) interesting ambiguities...

Antiguas Preguntas

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
This work is inspired on some pre-Columbian conceptions: man submitted to the forces of a giving universe, yet one that is demanding at the same time. In such a situation, man understands that all security is an illusion, and needs some kind of ritual in order to reconcile the opposites, and to restore the equilibrium of the cosmos. These trusts are not only protected at different levels of the musical structure of the piece, they also orient the criteria employed in the construction of sounds, in an attempt to explore the marginal zones of sound generation with digital media.

Barbe à papa (Arum manis)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jack Body's Barbe à Papa (Arum Manis). The original recording forms the basis of the tape and is the sound of a two stringed fiddle played by an Indonesian seller, recorded by the composer in 1977. Carrying the already made candy floss in a bin from his shoulder the seller played the fiddle to advertise presence. The music was both improvisation and sometimes recognizable tunes, and consisted of a melody.

Birds of the Cathedral

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
We invest the birds of human qualities to create imaginary connections between them and the men. This is what the old storytellers did too, but at bottom the parable spoke of the relationship between man and man. Finally - through music - this piece also speaks about them and us. His composer has tried to pay attention to what the birds themselves know and can do for themselves: the melody, the rhythm, and the possible meanings of their intonation, which have been familiar to us for so long. This is not just the usual information of a coexistence of a million years. Precisely, what we pay attention to - here and now - is not something that is outside the limited world of man. Maybe it's something that exists in humans. This is in the depth of the unconscious, on which our existence of man is constructed. Whence these particular relations, these strange rhymes between the voice of man and that of the bird come from? The birds live around the cathedral already for a very long time. They were fluttering around her already when the towers rising to the heavens were still surrounded by a forest of scaffolds, and …

The blazing macaw

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Norman Mason's The blazing macaw. This work is for piano and tape. The painting "Self Portrait With Bonitio" by Frida Kahlo inspired this work. The parrot on her shoulder helped guide the communication between the piano and tape. The term "blazing" refers to two things: the bright colors of the parrot, as well as the painting itself, which musically is produced by the harmonic, rhythmic and timbral choice.

Bosco : jardín al compás del deseo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
“Bosco : jardín al compás del deseo” is based on Hyeronimus Bosch’s triptych and especially, the painting on the right, “Musicians’ Hell”. Instead of translating visual images into music, there has been a representation from the unconscious of some relevant aspects like human nature metaphors and the metamorphosis of the objects, the presence of unnoble metal waiting for the alchemic mutation, the oneiric, the fantastic. The characters dance at the hands of Bosco, a huge mask-ball in honor of the goddess Dinamo.
