Gritos y Gritarras

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Gritos y Gritarras. This is a work for electronics that includes voice and guitar as well as sound samples from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple songs. The composer has attempted to make these songs and motifs recognizable without compromising the independence of the electroacoustic piece itself. The title is a play on words that is untranslatable; "Gritarras" is a made-up word that means something like the cry of the guitar.

Les dits de nobuyo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pierre Mariétan's Les dits de nobuyo. The composer states: "The "reality show" is that of the sound, of its own story implemented here in the relationship of the voices to each other with the noises captured, all of this inscribed in the silence of the composition. What these sounds, the voices, the story say, is to be interpreted by the listener according to his feelings, the awareness of what he perceives. The reality show does not want to be, like on television, the alibi of a unique and bygone reality. Its conclusion is that of the listener, discovering through the acoustic image that comes to him, not a visual representation of the sound (whatever one does one will never see a sound), but a formal configuration , dimensioned, resulting from the alliance of sound and space."

About Howard Johnson/Affirmative

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joshua Fried's About Howard Johnson/Affirmative. This work uses MIDI in unusual ways. Sound modules become a silent controller of analog gates, and continuous controllers manipulate digital processors in real time. When channel gates are triggered at an even rate, one obtains the well-known strobe effect of slowing down, stopping or even reversing the apparent motion of a rotating object. As trigger cycle and loop cycle move out of phase, bits of sound seem to wander from speaker to speaker through the space. This work also functions as a study for live performances that will process found sound with a combination of selectable algorithms and performer control.
