De front (Quatuor)

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Pierre Jodlowski's De front (Quatuor). The idea of ​​this piece is based on a set of writings around the processes of aggression in humans and animals, as well as on the notion of frontality (which relates to the intermediate, fuzzy zones of our experience - physical or intellectual). The principle of the work (hence the precision quartet) is based on the development, "in concentric circles," of four groups or entities: 1. clarinet / trumpet; 2. percussion; 3. string quintet; 4. parts electronics. These gradually close in on the listener. This convergence takes place through processes of accumulations and encounters in which perception passes from individualized states to a group feeling.

Sweet Dreams

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Maggi Payne's Sweet Dreams. The composer notes that they have always been fascinated by richness of environmental sounds. After years of heavily processing environmental sounds (to the point where they are no longer recognizable) as the sonic basis for many of her works, she decided to compose a piece using only unprocessed (although extensively and meticulously cleaned up) environmental sounds. As a thread to tie these sounds (collected over almost thirty years) together, the composer decided to use those sounds which wake her up or keep her awake nights. Of particular noted interest is how some sounds seem to stay in the background and others become unnaturally present in the darkness. These perceptual anomalies are emphasized, and spatialization exaggerated in this work. The piece is intended to played over speakers, but listening in headphones will make the spatial and proximity effects even more apparent. All but one of the sounds were recorded by the composer - she notes that she could not resist putting in one "baa" from the cloned sheep, Dolly. Some of the recordings used for this piece were made as far back as 1972. Wanting to make technically better quality recordings of some of these …
