On going on

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Javier Alvarez's On going on. For baritone saxophone and computer/tape. The piece puts forward the idea of ​​"out of sound" by juxtaposing the tempered saxophone played live with the computerized saxophone. The interaction between the two pieces ranges from minute changes in pitch to the clearly audible disagreement between them, especially evident in these sounds played in unison. This creates the evolution, sometimes with a tense atmosphere. This material is contrasted by percussive and rhythmic outbursts which in the context give stable harmonic cues.

Little Animals

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Natasha Barrett's Little Animals. This work is an acousmatic composition. A forest of small creatures begin to transform and interact with their surrounding environment. Slowly, sound fragments lose their acoustic source-bond to leave the bare essence of their expressive content, and gradually unfold an abstract musical discourse. Flow characteristics, both intrinsic to the sound and freely imposed by the listener's own natural sense of time, gradually unfold, leaving an impression of personal interpretation combined with the feeling of being a passenger, carried through the music.

Discourse

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Batchelor's Discourse. For electronics. This piece considers various levels of interaction (discourse) between its resonant and non-resonant source material. A number of different paths (courses) are followed in each section, ranging from the detailed exploration of a single sound-type to a broader investigation of the relationships between several. This discourse is purely musical; the anecdotal is latent, but direct images and meaning remain elusive, and even the whispered voice is incomprehensible throughout.

Reel

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Peter Batchelor's Reel. This work uses uillean bagpipe as the main sound source. This piece was composed with a view to capturing the energy and intensity that characterizes the traditional Irish reel. Such an 'upbeat' quality is achieved in this genre not least by the upbeat itself (the anacrusis being essential to its iambic rhythmic structure) and the preparatory gesture that opens the piece thus becomes an important feature throughout.

On the presence of water

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Bret Battey's On the presence of water. The program note accompanying this composition goes as follows: The newest of technologies enable us to capture and shape the essence of one of the most ancient forms of revelation: the dream. Dreams can cohere and impact us in a way that reveals us to ourselves. They do so not so much through the specific elements that comprise them but through the dynamic, abstract relationships that arise between those elements. New technologies allow us to shape and relate sight and sound according to the same principle. They can be used to break down the boundaries between disparate media, break away from the conventions of narrative, and shape artworks according to the dynamic forms of our experience. So, too, they can be used break down the boundaries between the conscious mind and the revelations that lie within us waiting to speak. On the Presence of Water is a sound and image meditation on water as a spiritual and psychological archetype. Computer manipulations of found sound and imagery are knit tightly together to express a narrative of the subconscious. No representation is required: the forms of sight and sound speak together map to …
