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 …

Attract

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of José Miguel Fernández's Attract. This work was composed in 1999 as part of a FONDART project of the Ministry of Education of the Chilean government, on the use of mathematical models (chaotic and stochastic) for musical composition and interaction with the computer. For this work, the composer used two chaotic models (torus and logistic map) for the clarinetist's score and random models (Brownian, 1/f and white noise) for the spatialization of the sound. The samples were made with Csound, Audiosculpt, Peak and Protools (for some editing). A pitch-to-MIDI converter triggers MIDI events on a proteusFX with a random beat. The computer keyboard triggers the samples as well as a Max sequence made with the torus model X n+1 = X n + Ksen Y n. The title for this composition is taken from the strange attractors which have recursive equations and fractals; it is also drawn from the attraction which produces some sounds in the unfolding of the work and in the interaction.
