  2. Samuel Vriezen: 20 Worlds (2005)

    Two pianists journey together through a circular universe of twenty possible worlds. The worlds appear and disappear one by one, echoed between the two piano parts, and up to four of them may be present at the same time in a gradually shifting multi-cultural mosaic of musical worlds.In this piece, just as in the 5 extremely short “possible world” pieces I wrote in 2003, a ‘world’ is identified by a typical basic motivic gesture. Each ‘world’ varies on its basic gesture according to its own laws. These twenty worlds (Possible Worlds nr. 6-25?) are then intertwined to appear in eighty numbered sections. The eighty sections are arranged in a circular way: section 1 can follow section 80. The odd sections are only played by pianist I. Pianist II plays the even sections. Taken together, the odd and the even sections make use of the same material.
    
    20 Worlds is dedicated to Dante Oei. If not for the many conversations we’ve had about Cage, Xenakis, Sibelius, etc. and his wonderful insights and intuitions about music, a piece like this would have been unlikely.

  3. Dave Seidel: Nur

    “This is my first SuperCollider (SC) piece. Having just put out a CD-R release, the result of three years or so of working with Csound, it seemed like a good time to try something new. Another excuse for experimentation was provided by an invitation to participate in the first show in the Unique States series. As I prepared for this event, I ported my Csound Risset harmonic arpeggio instrument to SC and started playing around with it in real time (something which is much easier to do in SC than in Csound). This piece is what emerged. I performed it for the first time at the Unique States event at BUOY in Kittery, Maine on Friday, January 9, 2009. [snip]

    If you listen to this on speakers (as opposed to headphones), please turn it up — the sound should fill the room.”

  5. Steve Layton: “Charlotte, Too Soon” (2006)

    (Music source: samples from old answering machine tape treated and arranged in ACID) — Voices of relatives and friends of cellist / performance artist Charlotte Moorman (1933-1991), from one of her old answering machine tapes (mid-late 1970s?). All other sounds as well are derived from noises on the same tape.” via niwo.com

  6. David Toub: this piece intentionally left blank (2006)

    “This came about as an improvisation, and is virtually unchanged other than a few minor tweaks. It was composed using an Ensoniq KS-32 synthesizer providing input into Reason 3.0.4. The score is a pretty close approximation of what was improvised, but is not 100% accurate. It can be performed by any keyboard, although it could also be performed for any group of instruments. I felt the bass line would be very interesting if played by a bass guitar, for example. This work is dedicated to my friend Kel Smith. It was premiered on May 9th, 2007 by the Diverse Instrument Ensemble under Lloyd Rogers at Cal State Fullerton in an arrangement by Paul Bailey for oboe, alto sax, french horn, trombone, bass guitar and two vibraphones.”

  9. Scoma: Voice III night

    “The audio piece centers on the thought of the integration of human voice in sonic context. Right now a series called „voices“ is work in progress, reflecting the ways of interaction between music/sonic textures and derivatives of the human voice.”
