Orbitas elipticas

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Carlos Farinas' Orbitas elipticas. The Orbis Musicae program, developed at EMEC by Ruben Hinojosa, is based on the conception of the elliptical orbital motion of a planetary system, which generates sound frequencies. Then real-time sound generation with a chromatic scale and a pre-established configuration and MIDI output (the program allows 16 MIDI outputs). The piece is an optimal generation function of the five rises and falls. FM sources (DX7 II) were used in only three main objects, each with different attacks, envelopes and spectra, so as to keep the polyphonic lines generated by the program as clear as possible.

Painting legs on the snake

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ron Averill's Painting legs on a snake. This work refers to an exercise in futility, which describes why the composer came to appreciate piano composition. Many literary works of the 19th century deals with the piano reflecting a dissatisfaction linked to the timbre of this instrument, which sparked questions about tonal modes and tone color. Rather than composing a tonal piece on the piano, modified already existing piano works were put through the NEXT computer and organized to create this work.

El otro Espejo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Raul Minsburg's El otro Espejo. This work offers a type of action, sound, and in a sense, form of some works of the '50s and '60s made with analog equipment; but here made with recent equipment, digital and especially with a synthesizer having additive synthesis, which interferes with all the sounds of the work, including a kind of voice, at the end of the work. There are several sections that create a specific relationship of density, polyphony, and texture due to the interaction between these same elements.

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of YeeOn Lo's Duo concertant - le conte du troubadour. This work begins with a highly theatrical noisy environment.

Cymbals: reminiscencia

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rodrigo Cicchelli Velloso's Cymbal: reminiscencia. The piece is divided into two movements: Ostinato and Reminiscences. The first begins with a repeated phrase, performed by a pair of cymbals, punctuated by strong attacks. As this short talk progresses with the cymbal intervention becoming hectic and irregular, the initially limited spatial perspective widens when the first cymbal strike occurs. As the piece develops, new sounds enter the scene, interacting with each other and creating a dense musical texture. One of the important characteristics of the piece is the simultaneous exploration of different materials with very particular and contrasting spatial behaviors.

The Nagual

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Mesias Maiguashca's The Nagual. This work is inspired by the first four books by Carlos Casta–eda on the practice of magic among the Yaqui Indians in Mexico. The technical starting point of the cycle was a metal construction. This instrument consists of a framework on which metal objects are hung on nylon threads; these are then 'played' with a bow or mallet and amplified using contact microphones. There is a dialogue between the sounds played "live" by the two players and the sounds of the "virtual sound object" reproduced from a tape.

Meditation

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hubert Howe's Meditation. This work is based entirely on 19-tone equal temperament. Meditation, as the title implies, is a slow, contemplative work that begins from a single tone, combines it with other tones, builds to larger/ faster materials, and ultimately returns to the tone at the beginning. The basic sound is a vocal-like tone produced by three-carrier FM synthesis. There are five sections in the piece in a palindromic relationship and a 2:1 tempo change between each, increasing at first and then decreasing.
