Renaissance

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ake Parmerud's Renaissance. The piece is based, on the one hand, on Serge modular synthesizer sounds, and on the other hand, on some additional sounds coming from Renaissance instruments like the lute, the cromorne, the viola da gamba and the drum. The intention was to create a virtual encounter between the sounds, the methods of composition and the aesthetics of the two worlds, analogue and digital, on a distant canvas of timbres and medieval rhythms.

〇✕△☐

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Takehito Shimazu's 〇✕△☐. For this composition, the composer produced a special computer program written in C and Assembler computer languages. The purpose of this program was to create sequential data as a means of reflecting, defining, and executing the form of the piece. The composer chose to include a randomizing element in this program in order to more closely simulate human performance of the material performed by the computer element. In terms of form, this piece consists of 5 parts, but these parts are intended to be less than distinct in their separation from each other. The 5 parts are meant to reflect the four shapes indicated in the title of the piece (〇✕△☐, or Circle x triangle square) and a final unification of these shapes. Each of the four shapes found in the title has a part of the composition dedicated to it; the fifth and last part of the composition unites these 4 figures. Performance of this piece features a computer accompaniment paired with a live performer. This pairing allows for a conversation between a moderately inflexible computer accompaniment and a live performer's comprehensive grasp of emotion and timing in musical performance. As a result of …

Best wishes from the lilac grove

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Lars Gunnar Bodin's Best wishes from the lilac grove. For electronics. In Swedish it means a rather tiny grove, more like an outdoor room (without a roof) where the lilac shrubbery form the walls. The intention of this piece is to radiate something of the same relaxed feeling and contemplation you may experience when visiting such a room.

Diamant

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Frank Schweizer's Diamant. At the beginning of the work, recordings of sounds from different recorders, concentrating precisely on the multiple sounds that Johannes Fischer presented in different variations on the recorder machine. When the flute is not the primary focus the interpreter begins to send air through a pipe into the recorder machine. With the valve system, the air is distributed in twelve different valves. The individual opening and closing of each valve is possible thanks to electro-acoustic contacts and is controlled by a computer.

Illusions II in desolate fields for Upic

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Takehito Shimazu's Illusions II in desolate fields for Upic. The inspiration for this piece is from a short poem (translated in English) sung by a poet from 200 years ago. The composer operates the the sounds as stimuli psychologically and physiologically. The music changes from ratios 3:2 and 7:5; changing with the rhythm of its syllables of the poem in original language. One more important point of this piece is that it was planed to play UPIC in real time, in other words this piece can be realized with a live performance with UPIC and, in fact, therefore, this piece might be said to be "one sample of a performance".

ET llamando a casa

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Rubén Hinojosa Chapel's ET llamando a casa. This work is a simple tonal electronic piece composer with the musical fractals system, which is an interpretation of the Koch curve and the self-similarity property of fractal sets. The algorithm features transformations from traditional counterpoint and simpler intervals. For the synthesis of the phone sound, temporal synthesis of sound waves coming from mathematical formulae is used.

Boca de Barra

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Juan Reyes' Boca de Barra. The sound events of the piece are based on visual images. These images were produced by elements and objects of a natural landscape. When the viewer concentrates on a particular event, the system destabilizes and events, like images in an exhibition, begin to arrive. La Bocca de la Barra is a geographical beach in the Caribbean, where salty sea water mixes with fresh water from the swamps and, where vegetables become seaweed, frogs become fish, and lobsters look like crabs. In this electroacoustic composition, the composer presents macro-acoustic organizations.

94 eleciones

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ricardo Arias' 94 eleciones. Inspired by the fascination of the fashionable spectacle of biodiversity. Within the tropical forest, psittacine, quickly show their invasion of acoustic space with repetitive and annoying messages.

Singing more

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Simo Lazarov's Singing more. The language of this composition is Bulgarian, with vocal audio recorded from the mountains surrounding the Bulgarian region of Sofia serving as the basic sound source of the composition. The composer's goals are to submerge the listener in an atmosphere of Bulgarian folklore, and to attain an associative effect by means of overdubbing and modification of original sound and songs, bearing in mind the wide variety and richness of the Bulgarian folklore and the immense attention it has gained abroad.

Le mécanicien effréné

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Ragnar Grippe's Le mécanicien effréné. Voices are explicitly mentioned by the composer as acting as instruments; no language is intended or represented in this performance. This piece follows the composer's "symphonic" approach to timbre and construction of sound, wherein every sound is a composite of several included timbres, in a way that the composer identifies as being specifically contrary to the technique known as Musique Concrète of Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris. Through this approach, short moments of a more musique concrète character interrupt the ongoing flow of the composition; furthermore, the composer states the explicit nature of voice as instrument, removal from semantics, and a fascination with the "nakedness" of voices alongside their behaviors and interactions when set upon a texture of electroacoustic sounds.

Moment

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jøran Rudi's Moment. This work is composed of synthetic and natural sound, transposed and stretched according to ratios taken from spectral data found in a bell-timbre. In addition, the voice element is treated to create time-variable harmonicity. The artifacts from the stretching have been brought forward in the composition through filtering. The synthetic sound consists of an algorithmically composed element, where a series of numbers control the same parameters in the synthesis. The algorithm scales the numbers to strengthen the low end of the register. The composer describes "Moment" as a slowly developing little piece, composed to be candy for the ear.

Poèmes acousmatiques

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
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.

Drift

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
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.
