Materia: Piedras

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Antonio Alcazar Aranda's Materia: Piedras. The starting point for its realization is twofold. On the one hand, unique sound material is produced by the collision of two stones; on the other hand the composer took from number three and four as computer nuclei or speech generator, a decision that will have implications as much at micro level as structural macro. From the point of view of crossing, the work offers a certain minimalist treatment of material: repetitions of series which contain something new but which also retain part of the previous one. Change and permanence.

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.

ChAnGE'S Music

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joseph Lloyd Anderson's ChAnGE'S Music. A translation of the composer's words, from a letter to pianist Hadley McCarroll, illuminate that the composer tends "to think of ChanG E S Music as a phonographic fantasy because it plays out in each of Dellaria's three sound recording modes: Record-as-Document, Pseudo-Document, and abstraction. In order to really begin to understand him, I believe the listener needs to have an idea of ​​who [composer John] Cage is and why he is interesting. It is also useful to be aware of the Music of Changes, since the version edited by Wergo is the pseudo document with which my piece begins, and it constitutes one of the first 'silent' pieces of Cage (with 4'33''). It is about the need for the composer's ego to step aside before the music so that it can speak clearly. The pseudo document is fun because it allows us to make someone play what has never been played, and say what has never been said, while passing it off as a kind of auditory truth. Cage's opening text where he puts forward the beginnings of all this using recordings as instruments is actually taken from a statement explaining why …
