Concentric. A question with two answers.

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Octavian Nemescu's "Concentric. A question with two answers." for instrumental ensemble and tape. The piece is a reaction to Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question," which is, in comparison, schizoid in nature, marked by breach, discord, disparity and incommunicability. There are three layered music layers in "Concentric" which join together to create a kind of communion that is timeless through the use of resonant harmonic issued by a fundamental sound C, placed in the deepest register, like a natural archetype (of a cosmic and supercosmic presence coming from the depths of existence).

Recording of Werner Kaegi's Hydeophonie I for 4-track tape. It was composed and realized in 1969 in the studios of the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht (Holland).

Kaegi's work is based on programmed and descriptive structures. All the musical material was generated in a purely synthetic way, all resembling the "reality" having come only from the musical structures.

Act of Opening

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
"Act of Openings" is a stereo composition made with Moog analog synthesis modules. Composed in 1968, its duration is 17'27. The score of the composition is a dense and modulated sound characterized by carefully controlled phase relationships. All the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the piece derive energy from a long, brilliant sound. Each part of the room is another glimpse of this sound, as a set of flowers form a bouquet. "Act of Openings" received the 2nd Prize at the 1969 Dartmouth International Electronic Music Competition.

Kiosque

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Alain Savouret's Kiosque. This piece was created for live instruments and stereo tape. It's imagining a situation: in the center of the kiosk, someone is playing the score of their existence. Like any concert in a square, it is disturbed, distorted by external manifestations, foreign to the score. But here, in this particular situation, it is musical actions, taken over by the instrumentalists of Opus 9, which will disturb, prevent or perhaps facilitate the performance of this score.

Solitaire

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Recording of Arne Nordheim's Solitaire. The composition was composed for the opening of the Museum Sonia Henko-Niels Onstad Foundation Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo. The primary assumption of the composer was to give the composition in audiovisual form in which the latest technical possibilities of sounds and light projection would be utilized. However, this composition exists also in concert version, deprived of extra musical elements, in which a significant role is played by the spatial configuration of the composition realized in the original in a four channel version/on the record the Solitaire has a two channel form. Insofar as the sound material is concerned, the composer utilizes equivalently electronic instrumental and concrete sound, excusing the differences, which exist between them, and creating a uniform cohesive organism. It is worth emphasizing the unnatural richness of tones changing similarly to Schonberg's "Klangfarbenmelodies". The composition was realized in 1969 by E. Rudnik at the Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio.
