In a parking lot, a man and woman converse. Next to them is parked a pink Volkwagen car and behind the couple is a white Volkswagen car. The background is the side of a corrugated blue building with two small windows. In the foreground, sharp shadows of the man and woman overlap onto the stone sidewalk.

The lithograph has the style of a collage. A woman in the foreground holds a small doll or figurine and in the distance another woman and smaller figure walk away.

An aerial view of the fountain shows its scale and colors.

The water is visible from the ground level seating.

Recording of Wilfried Jentzsch's "Le mythe de la machine" for piano and tape. The design is based on various calculations of chance. The tape was made in collaboration between the electroacoustic studio of the Hochschule für Musik Köln and the Center for Studies of Mathematics and Musical Automatics (C E M A M u) in Paris.

Recording of James Dashow's Whispers Out of Time. The title of this piece refers to the last line in a poem titled "Portrait in a Convex Mirror" by John Ashbery (1975). The composer used a VCS3, three ReVox tape recorders each with vari-speed gadget, and an AKG reverberation unit in an attempt to express with electronic sounds the moods, feelings, and sensations the four words of the title invoked in him.

Recording of Alain Savouret's Valse molle

Recording of Hal Freedman's Skelelemedania. This piece falls into three sections; the first and third combine live and tape sounds, and the second is for tape alone. The piece as a whole represents an expansion of the middle tape section. The more purely electronic layers were composed to complement or contrast with the vocal elements. The first and third sections make use of tape echo and delay systems. The timing of the repetitions allow the delay to be heard not as feedback but as a continuous evolution of texture and harmonic, melodic, and contrapuntal interplay.

Recording of Georges Boeuf's Champs.

Recording of Charles Dodge's In Celebration. "In Celebration" was composed during the first part of 1975. The composition tends to capture the spirit and structure of Mark Strand's poem and to give it a coherent sense musically. The poem has a two-part structure separated by the reappearance of the verse "You sit in a chair.” The two parts of the poem can be distinguished from each other by the different degrees of passivity attributed to the "You,” the person to whom the poem is addressed.

Recording of Graciela Paraskevaídis's Haauqui (pronounced Wauki or Ouaouki) for two-track tape. The title is a Qechua word referring to a small statue carried by the Incas that resembles their own image, a meaning extended to brotherhood, community, and friendship. The sound events, created from both microphonic and electronic sources, aim at a non-discursive, non-anecdotic function based on a self-imposed simplicity and on the presence of structural silence. It was realized at Elac, pequeno estudio de Montevideo, in 1975.

Recording of Ryszard Klisowski's Memento for tape.

Recording of Satoshi Sumitani's Constellation. This composition is a process of pursuit to sonority in limited materials possibility of transformation and combination. In addition to all instruments used were a Graphic Equalizer, a Eariable Speed Tape Recorder, and a Microphon setting.

Recording of Francis Dhomont's Syntagmes. This work obeys a double concern: formal rigor and vagrancy of the imagination. Seemingly contradictory proceedings, they are inspired by linguistic mechanisms which - within the limits of a code - allow innumerable discoveries.

Recording of Curtis Roads's Construction. This piece consists of continuous sound spectra. It was composed intuitively by ear. Its process of forming is characterized by an interplay among sections of historical development (continuous transformation), sequences of event (discrete spectral "harmonies"), and disjoint non-sequiturs (contrasting modes of musical behavior). "Construction" is a model, an alternative vision to the dominant mode of structuring. The technical devices used to make the work were: Moog III Synthesizer, Bode Ring Modulator, Bode Frequency Shifter, Ampex 4/2 Mixer, JBL Monitors, Quad/Eight Mixing Console, ITI Parametric Equalizer, Pultec Equalizer, Acoustic Echo Chamber, Altec Monitors.

Recording of Denis Smalley's Ouroboros

Recording of Patrick Lenfant's Syrrhapte

Recording of Albert Mayr's Relazioni-transformazioni. “Relationships-Transformations” is part of a series of works that are based on the TIME-ASPECTS text and thus start from the same basic hypothesis: highlighting the relationships that come into being between various sound events - or even visual, theatrical – in function of relationships between their organizations in time and subjective transformations - of such events that occur during the operation. This hypothesis is carried on with the use of a very small material, both for recorded and instrumental parts, without any virtuosity, even to avoid masking, with affirmative artisans, the state of erosion of making music today.

Recording of László Dobos's Playing with Piano. The piece consists of six parts and includes electronic piano.
