Recording of Graham Hair's microvariation.

Recording of Ricardo Mandolini's Fabulas. It is a piece that creates a soundscape of fantasy, reminiscent of stories from childhood. Uses electronic and instrumental sound material.

Recording of Klaus Röder's Klangbild. The basis of this piece was a guitar improvisation. The tape with the recorded guitar sounds was cut at suitable points. The cut pieces were sorted and classified. So there were several small musical motifs which were instrumented afterwards by electronic means.

Recording of Martin Brinkerhoff's Jabara. Sound material consists of percussion sounds that have been manipulated by concrete methods: pitch and duration transposition, inversion, and mixing. The work is dedicated to percussionist Martin Jabara, who provided the basic sounds. The piece was realized at the Center for Music Experiment at California San Diego University.

Recording of Denis Smalley's The pulses of time. The piece reflects the varied behavior of pulses: the regular pulses of meter, the much slower pulses which pace sections of music, and pulses which form the interior character of sounds - the accelerating pulses of a bouncing sound, and the fast pulses creating the "grain" in sound textures. The different atmospheres in the work are generated by the major sound sources: the electronic bounced family of sounds, metallic harmonies which expand the resonances of dramatic gong-like attacks, noise contours, drums and percussion both real and synthetic, and the clavichord which provides a rich reservoir of sounds - deep clusters, sighing pitches, resonances truck on the soundboard, strings plucked and stroked. The clavichord sounds remain raw and untreated.

Recording of David Evan Jones's "Pashanti (Les 9 Milliards de Noms de Dieu)." "Pashanti" is a Sanskrit word that refers to the level of thought that immediately predicts the recognition of speech as sound. This composition uses a hybrid computer musical system to filter vowel sound sources and vowel-like sounds. The text consists of the vowels i / a / u / e / i in sequence with particular transition velocities form the word "Yaweh" (the name of the Hebrew god). This series of vowels is continuously permuted to form the text of Pashanti through the composition.

Recording of Jürgen Bräuninger's Tans-Trypticon.

Recording of David de Gandarias's "Juego de magos y gonilas" ("Game of Magicians and Gorillas"). Uses percussion instruments as sources of sound.

Recording of Máté Victor's Version n° 2. It was realized at the Studio of Radio in Budapest. The piece is constructed in five movements - movements 1, 3, and 5 contain the same material. It was composed at the Electronic Studio of Mayar Radio in Budapest.

Recording of Jonty Harrison's A Vent for oboe and tape, performed by Robin Canter, oboe. It is more accurately described as a tape piece with oboe since the tape carries the greater part of the musical argument and is never merely a background for an oboe solo. The necessity of breathing permeates the work.

Recording of Elżbieta Sikora's The waste land, for fixed media. The piece is a journey through time and spaces. The present is mixed with the past, the ordinary with the extraordinary, dream with reality. The work was commissioned by the Experimental Studio of Polish Radio and was realized in October 1979. The text comes from T. Elliot's poem "The Waste Land."

Recording of D. Gareth Loy's Nekyia. The title refers to the eleventh chapter of Homer's The Odyssey in which Odysseus and his men have just escaped the enchantment of Circle's Island and are about to experience the demonic confrontation of the souls from Hades, in order to consult with tierces for how to return to Ithaca. The music, though not narrative, uses images of enchantment and demonic confrontation to explore the existential position of the hero to evoke the same moods in the audience.
