Treesway Solo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Lief Brush's Treesway Solo. The only coloration that was employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs. Structure-wise, the piece centers around spaces in spaces, scale and proportion and the composer's soundworks effect an awareness of the psychological effects of sounds, for instance, from trees and wind transformation via the composer's windribbon. The basic groundwork includes several recyclings of the TerraInstruments including the signal discs, selfbroadcasting trees, lased raindrops and windribbon variations in an attempt to express the voltages from natural sources as recontextualized audible constructs: offering personal connections to the long term aural memories of earthguests.

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Michael Keane's Ambulator Nemorensis. This piece was put together as a preliminary study for an experimental film by Nicholas Kendall called Tala.

Transparencies

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Maggi Payne's Transparencies. Composed using the Moog synthesizer, this four channel electronic piece deals with spatial displacement via carefully controlled phase, pitch, and location relationships. Synchronized slide projections frequently accompany performances of this work. The title derives from the projection of transparencies (slides) of oscilloscope images and from the transparency/delicacy of the sounds used in the piece.

Prélude Pour Fête Foraine Et Synthétiseur

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Jean Piche's Prélude Pour Fête Foraine Et Synthétiseur. This piece is an exploration of the acoustic structure of a popular party. The environmental sections of the work come from a binaural recording of a party crowd gathered for the annual Carnival parade in the city of Quebec. The moments preserved are those preceding the arrival of the parade. The core of the piece was done in the studio with a MOOG synthesizer, using the temporal structure of the environment as a medium. In a single shot the electronic section goes from a slow, static tempo (referring to the acoustic macrostructure of a crowd - lots of internal changes but temporal homogeneity at all) to a fast tempo where the junction is made with the micro structure of the environment. The electronic synth of this last moment wants to get closer to the organic timbres of the voice and the trumpets used by the folks to ring their exuberance very loudly.

Barriers

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Daniel Starr's Barriers. Barriers is a quadraphonic electronic composition, which was composed in the interval May-June of 1976 in the Yale Electronic Music Studio, using both classical and control-voltage technique. It comprises 30 brief sections lasting 8 to 45 second each, which are in turn divided into two larger sequences of 15 sections, separated from each other by several seconds of dead silence in the center of the piece. Each section on either side of the piece explores a unique combination of sound-points, short, long and continuous tones. The piece is thus loosely organized according to a durational scheme. The opening consists of only short tones, the ending only of long tones; the first half ends only with sustained tones and after the silence, the second half begins with “points” alone. The composition deals specifically with the development and dramatic aspects of those elements, which are carried over from one section to the next, and with the introduction and phasing out of the different kinds of material. Most of the sounds used in the work are pure in character, which is to say that they have a single clear pitch despite the fact that they may have been …

Métonymie ou le corps impossible

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Francis Dhomont's Métonymie ou le corps impossible. Two possible readings: 1) "Metonymy", figure of rhetoric; "An object is designated by the no of a similar object". Uses 4 families of sound sources: musical instruments, voices, concert and electronic sounds. Most sound objects are "diverted" from their context; in this lies metonymy. Each family offers collections of objects cutting the duration in pulsed time/smooth time by contrasts, oppositions, slips ... It is also a discourse by associations (one sound calls another). The voice neglects the "discrete units" of language to retain only the prosodic features. 2) Impossible route of a "body" (figured by vocal fragments) locked up, dissolved (murdered?). In another body/place, which unceasingly defeats, tears, covers it. The voice is always spoken out of meaning in a kind of primary glossolalic act. Drift impulse momentum engulfed after multiple attempts of emergence. 4 Parts: 1 - 1'45 Instrumental / vocal / concrete / Electronic 2 - 6'27 Pulses / iterations / cells / groups + 2 'rests' 3 - 4'17 Large notes + mixed variations 4 - 5'02 Frames + coda

Treesway Solo

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Leif Brush's Treesway Solo. “After an intense period of analog familiarization with the range and enormity of available sounds extraterrestrial and in nature, I tried the only techniques then available to me, tape manipulation and speaker placements. The only coloration that I employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs. I have always monitored from nearly neutral sensors, and my interest has been in trading, configuring and juxtapositionings and in the presentation of sound in natural and climatically different contexts, mainly exterior and in real time. Within the 1980s, I worked with 200-speakers using an Intel 8080 microprocessor used for satellite teleperformances, with collaborators and in outdoor "studios." Structure-wise my work centers around spaces in spaces, scale and proportion, and my sound works’ effect on awareness of the psychological effects of sounds, for instance, from trees and wind transformation via my wind ribbon. I am concentrating on conceptualizing a segue from Internet to real time with on-call two-way availabilities of my data-laden resources. My basic groundwork includes several recyclings of the TerraInstruments, including the signal discs, self-broadcasting trees, lased raindrops and wind ribbon variations in an attempt to express the voltages I seek from …
