Dripsody
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hugh le Caine's Dripsody. It is an study for variable speed recorder. It was composed in one night. Le Caine used a recording of a drop of water falling into a bucket, which he re- recorded different speeds, obtaining the heights of a pentatonic scale. Using 25 connectors and the variable speed tape recorder, it produced thousands of sound effects. Dripsody begins with the original sound of the water drop, repetition loop. Shortly afterwards, by adding more loops, the density of the sound increases and an arpeggio figure is produced. The complete work, lasting one minute and twenty-six seconds, was finished at 7.30 am, and Le Caine played it for those who arrived at the laboratory.

Ninety nine Generators
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hugh le Caine's Ninety nine Generators. The title refers to the 99 organ sound generators sensitive keys - a separate generator for each note of the keyboard that can all be operated simultaneously. Le Caine here uses a resonance pedal and a device that can change the pitch to produce a vibrato or long glissandi impossible to achieve on an organ. The particular reverb of this piece is caused by the unusual acoustics of the place where it was realized.

Invocation
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Hugh Le Caine's Invocation. The piece opens with a trio of three recorded sounds: a glass that is broken with a hammer, a ping-pong ball hitting a racket, and a drop of water. These sounds are the "instruments" used throughout the piece. Drips are configured as fast ascending and descending glissandi. A series of chords is constructed from a sustained movement of glass stamps. The sound of the ping-pong ball - from the left to the right - gradually accelerates. Severe rumbling and sharp joints appears as sudden changes in channels multiply. The introduction of these gestures disrupts the orderly progression of loops and the inclusion of small strips of paper connected to the ribbon which produces rough and jerky sounds further accentuate this breaking effect. Towards the end of the piece, sustained sounds are played out in a chord, but as soon as this effect is installed, the tape slows down and stops, as if someone had unplugged the music player. Then we hear a particularly violent sound of glass breaking.

Die Mauer
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Armand Gutheim's Die Mauer. The sight of the former wall, which divided Europe in two, and the feeling that it evoked, was the perfect subject for an electroacoustic piece. Divided into three parts (1. Construction 1961, 2. Checkpoint 1975 and 3. Destruction 1989). Several acoustic instruments, tools and sounds were originally used at the recordings as well as a choir. Nevertheless, they were all processed and adapted into the electroacoustic concept that can be heard. The result became a piece who may give the listener an unpleasant feeling from the past but also a feeling of hope for the future.

Recording of Lucien Goethals Cadenza. This composition is part of a work for orchestra and electroacoustic music. It is a solo for tape recorder, placed in the middle of the work. The basic material is electronic sounds and concert sounds (instrumental sounds). The overall shape is the result of superimposing a large number of fairly simple sound layers.

Microstructures
Access:
Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Włodzimierz Kotoński's Microstructures. This piece utilizes sections of fragmented tape to create a montage of sound layers in very dense structures. The composer used the sound of knocking on wood, metal, and glass to form a new sound material and spatialization of sound. These sounds recorded on magnetic tape were cut, melted, and glued randomly into random sequences from which loops of different length were formed and copied onto a layer which finally resulted in this desirable microstructure.
