Ecoute, écoute!

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Roderik de Man's Ecoute, écoute!. This piece was commissioned by the Fund for the Creation of Music. Ecoute, écoute! was composed at the request of Harry Sparnaay for the occasion of the "Who's afraid of?" project, organized by Iris van der Goot. In this project, prominent contemporary solo works were combined with newly written compositions. Ecoute, écoute! is a tribute to promotors of contemporary music, in this case the renowned bass clarinetist Harry Sparnaay. This prominent musician has fulfilled this role for quite some time and is a source of inspiration for many composers. The opening text of the work describes the almost ritual actions of the musician which often precede the actual playing; these are spoken by Harry Sparnaay's wife, Silvia Castillo. Since Silvia and Harry used to communicate in French during the first stage of their marriage, often using the words "Ecoute, écoute!," the choice of the title was a predictable one. The material used to create the tape part was mostly derived from clarinet samples. This composition was a finalist in the Bourges Competition for Electroacoustic Music in 2000. A recording of Ecoute, écoute! by Harry Sparnaay appears on a CD with new works by …

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.

Agnaby

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Francesco Giomi's Agnaby. Realized at the Sheffield University Sound Studio (UK). Agnaby is an electroacoustic drama freely inspired by the novel "L'Etranger" by Albert Camus. It is also an attempt to get in touch, from a musical point of view, with Arab culture and language. The material is derived from a) environmental sounds of the Arab urban life and culture; b) fragments from Arab traditional music and texts; c) excerpts from the French text of the book read by Daniel Arfib. The objects, having pre-existing functions and carrying intrinsic associations and meanings, have been processed with different algorithms in order to create different degrees of transformation and recognizability. The formal structure of the piece is divided into two parts; the first follows the idea of a story taking place in an open and free space, with its noises and its sonic life; the second moves along the idea of a close and narrow environment, the courthouse of the novel, with its people, its atmospheres and its more introverted and predestined character. Agnaby was realized during a period of composer residence at the Department of Music of the University of Sheffield and it was premiered in Cagliari during the …
