Recording of Michał Talma-Sutt's Shadows. This work uses recordings of brass instruments, wind instruments, inanimate objects, and electronics.

Dada

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Andrea Libretti's Dada. The piece develops according to a Dadaist reconstruction project of the recited text, previously analyzed and dismembered. The first part is only consonants, followed by only isolated and interpolated vowels. Subsequently, the development of the envelope of amplitude and frequency of the speech begins to take shape, to arrive through various degrees at the complete recitation of point 11 of the "Manifesto dadaista sull'amore debole e l'amore amaro " by Tristan Tzara. All the material used is from the sampling of the recitation of the text.

Des ombres de la nuit

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rainer Bürk's Des ombres de la nuit. The composer went to the Frauenkirche in Esslingen together with organist Christoph Bossert to record sounds from the organ of the church. They treated the organ in many ways, the results mostly sounding dark and uncanny, just like the atmosphere of the environment. There was the clatter of the action and the pedals, the howling and whistling of the organ-pipes. The piece wants to re-create some of the eerie atmosphere in the dark, lonely and cold church.

Stasis

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Charles Nichols' Stasis. This is an interactive piece for soprano, MIDI violin, computer programming, and sampler. The count of steps on the MIDI pedal tells the computer which section to perform, while the pitch information received tells the computer which gestures to perform. The gestures are preprogrammed, but in some instances the computer randomly chooses the length or speed of the gesture, or the ordering of the musical material within predetermined limits. The computer drives a sampler which is loaded with samples of the soprano mixed and convoluted with samples of the violin.

Braindrops

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Werner Cee's Braindrops. This work is an interactive, audio-visual performance. The installation makes spatial-temporal patterns of the impact of raindrops falling on various sound-making surfaces, creating a complex multitude of generated sound and light structures. Various psycho-physiological signals of the subject are measured using sensors and correlated. Changes in the individual's psycho-physical state are thereby fed back into the audio-visual event itself (biofeedback).

Recording of Hans Tutschku's Nachts. For cello, bass clarinet, percussion and 4-track tape. Poems of Georg Trakl are put in correspondence the world of musical means to make an illustration of the text. Moreover, the tape is composed from recordings of instruments (cello, bass clarinet, percussion) and the voices of actors and singers. For each of the instruments I recorded four layers, each describing an independent rotation around the audience. I work the same way with texts. Moreover each instrument is played "live" which brings an additional layer. The notes are derived from three four-note chords that reproduce the scale.

Recording of John Elmsly's Drift. The tape part uses real-time granular synthesis to processed viola samples. Bowed and plucked sounds has been treated in this way to produce a large-scale mosaic of sounds to background the solo viola part, which explores playing techniques involving small changes in pitch. Such as, fingers, in closer than normal position, produce rhythmic patterns on very small intervals and create a very fluid melody in the upper reaches of the instrument.

Recording of Bruno Capelle Poèmes acousmatiques. This work uses mostly synthetically made electronic sounds and pre-recorded material. The sound are combined together so specifically that truly makes this work a sound poem. The use of electro-acoustic materiel allows for the music to travel within your own stereo listening field sound may appear on the left or right, or move around the space; the sound also differ in the execution of delivery sometimes a gradual transition or very rapidly. The use of field recordings, piano, and objects help bring familiar sounds.

Recording of Mathew Adkin's Melt. Melt is the description of a train journey. The work is based on the mediation between: regular movement and impulse, and raw sounds or computerized sounds. The basis of the work is live recordings of trains, metro announcements, crowds, synthesized sounds with characteristics of natural sources, and synthesized sounds. Throughout the work, the sounds of the real world mix with the synthetic equivalents of the dream world, like a traveler falling back in and out of a dream day.

Tesserae

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Elizabeth Hoffman's Tesserae. This work is for stereo and computer generated sounds. This work emerged from numerous mosaic-like bits, resulting from experimentation. Techniques include frequency modulation, additive synthesis, filtering, and linear predictive coding. Many of the elements heard in this piece are reminiscent of natural sounds because of such techniques. The sound sources include spoken words and purring noises--the latter used at times as a filter excitation source.
