3 pièces pour double basse et bande

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Orlando Jacinto Garcia's 3 pièces pour double basse et bande. Was written for bassist Robert Black and completed in the summer of 1990. The tape part was made using the bass player's recordings of brief musical pieces (i.e. tremolos, harmonics...) which were then digitized by the composer, sometimes transforming and mixing the material in layers of sound. The second of the three pieces is characteristic of a genre of glissandos, register changes, and also long holds both on tape and for the live double bass part. Great care as to the correctness of tone and the control of timbre is necessary on the part of the double bass player.

Recording of Ioannis Kalantzis' 3b. The composer used the bassoon in a rather post-classical way.

The electroacoustic material comes entirely from bassoon sounds.

About Howard Johnson/Affirmative

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Joshua Fried's About Howard Johnson/Affirmative. This work uses MIDI in unusual ways. Sound modules become a silent controller of analog gates, and continuous controllers manipulate digital processors in real time. When channel gates are triggered at an even rate, one obtains the well-known strobe effect of slowing down, stopping or even reversing the apparent motion of a rotating object. As trigger cycle and loop cycle move out of phase, bits of sound seem to wander from speaker to speaker through the space. This work also functions as a study for live performances that will process found sound with a combination of selectable algorithms and performer control.
