a 60x60 (2012) Composer Concordance Mix

60x60 (2012) Composer Concordance Mix

The 60x60 Composer Concordance mix was selected in part by Composer Concordance and presented by the on their concert series.

His music is described as “brainy and jazzy” (American Record Guide) and “fascinatingly strange” (BBC Music Magazine). Arthur Gottschalk is Professor of Music Composition at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music. Among many awards, his Concerto for Violin and Symphonic Winds won First Prize in the XXV Concorso Internazionale di Composizione Originale (Corciano, Italy), and in 2011 he was awarded the prestigious Bogliasco Fellowship for further work in Italy. Other awards include the Charles Ives Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and composer residencies at the famed Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center and at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival.
The composer had the honor of working with the late Dizzy Gillespie on a number of occasions, including a Fantasy Records release featuring Gillespie and legendary tenor man Arnett Cobb. Many of the trumpet sounds heard in this piece came from the out-takes of that session; others were provided by trumpeter Reynaldo Ochoa. These sounds were assembled, edited, and layered, and each layer was then processed and staggered in relation to other layers - creating a momentary glimpse of the Ur-trumpet.

  • 28 ) Gerontius II
    John Howard Maycraft
    Wanting to progress in his chosen instrument, he studied at first with his high school music teacher, then going on to specialise in electric guitar. All the lessons and study were of great benefit in the formation of a good grounding in musical theory, guitar technique and a genuine enthusiasm for guitar music, and indeed, music of all genres. John came to the conclusion that his "individual voice" was something that had to be learned, but couldn't be taught. This is still an ongoing process..
    Working predominantly on Guitars- though not exclusively- Johns work is Minimalist, with timed echoes. The mathematical principles of "Fibonacci", the "Golden ratio" and "Phi" are also to be found in his work. Therefore odd time signatures and different rhythms are often at the source of these quirky yet melodic pieces. The sustained patterns weave intricate melodies and voices into a simple beginning, often becoming more complex as the themes develop."
  • 29 ) Orchestral Piece
    Thomas Gerwin
    Thomas Gerwin, classically studied composer and sound artist, came into the field of electroacoustic music very early. Since 1991 he also works intensively on soundscape composition and radio art. Today he mostly works in his studio inter art project in Berlin, Germany, composes for concert performances, radio and film '“ (with and beyond traditional music instruments, acousmatic, multi-channel and live-electronics) and creates sound and video installations. He is artistic director of 'Berlin Loudspeaker Orchestra' and of yearly 'International Sound Art Festival Berlin'. His works are released and exhibited worldwide and have been awarded with some international prizes and stipends.
    This piece was made in the electronic studio inter art project Berlin, Germany. It uses sounds of my 'area contra punctus' (2009) for chamber orchestra - played back and forth, processed and transposed - and the sounds of an accordeon, recorded live with mics on and in the corpus. The topic here is 'correlation and interdependence between noise and sound as well as between sounds heard very far and very near. Best to be heard in a dark room or with headphones and closed eyes.

    In quiet moments one finds peace. Lizzie (our elegant snow-white Samoyed/Lab mix) graced this earth for nearly 15 years and joined our lives for almost 11 of those years. With this work I honor her life and her dignity and try to bring some solace to myself on her passing. Her voice joins mine, mingled with layers of modified bells and sighs. She had a lovely way of taking little breaths and then releasing a deep sigh of peace when she felt totally relaxed and calm. I reflect that gesture in
  • 31 ) Flagpole = 160
    Mark Petering
    Mark Petering is the winner of the Swan Composer Prize for wind ensemble and winner of the Music Festival of the Hamptons Composition Competition for orchestra. The premiere of his Hamptons' work Train & Tower made music history as Lukas Foss, the composer, and the Atlantic Chamber Orchestra coordinated the performance with a moving Long Island Rail Road locomotive controlled by the composer as well as a recording of a train. The surround sound generated was a music history first.
    Inspired by Rousseau's Reveries of a Solitary Walker, this musique concrete composition combines recordings from my walks from my apartment to the shores of Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin. One blustery winter morning I stumbled upon a beachside flagpole which was producing an invigorating rhythmic pulse through the wind rapping the flagpole rope against the cold metal pole.
  • 32 ) Tiny Yellow Chicks Fifth And Tiny Yellow Chicks Octave

    Patrick Liddell, aka ontologist, lives and breathes in Oakland CA. His work combines music, video, and other kinesthetic experience to discuss ideas pertaining to philosophy of mind and the root of consciousness. Please write to canzona@gmail.com for discussion and collaboration.
    The tonal sound in this piece comes from two central Javanese instruments, the gender barang and the slenthem. Each of them are playing two standard musical fragments whose names translate from Indonesian as "Tiny Yellow Chicks Fifth" and "Tiny Yellow Chicks Octave". I granularly processed the original tones and merged them with the massive bird canopy.

He currently teaches at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, and Bendigo Regional Institute of Technology in Bendigo. Information about his current work can be found at www.warrenburt.com.
    The Giant Murray Cod is a tourist icon in Swan Hill, Victoria. Late in April 2012, we made a visit to it. While there, my wife took a photo of me in front of it. This was converted into sound with a graphics to sound program, using a sample of harp arpeggios in 11 tones per octave. The 11-tone harp samples were played on a scale based on Ervin Wilson's work. In the middle of the piece is a computer voice singing an agricultural mantra from the Swan Hill region tuned in 12 tone equal temperament. The whole is a poly-microtonal celebration of the joys of frivolous, loony tourism.
  • 38 ) Nano Opera: The Rise, Triumph, and Fiery Demise of Robotika
    Sabrina Pena Young
    Obsessive sci-fi buff and composer Sabrina Pena Young writes mind-numbing electroacoustic works heard in Asia, the Americas, Australia, and Europe. Her music has been heard in film festivals, radio, electronic dance clubs, random boom boxes in France, and as not-so-pleasant background music. Young's latest project is Libertaria: The Virtual Opera, a futuristic and slightly psychotic sci-fi electronic opera about evil geneticists, psychedelic pharmaceuticals, and lost love.
    "Nano Opera: The Rise, Triumph, and Fiery Demise of Robotika" is an exhaustive opera in 3 acts. In Act 1 we meet the fledgling Robotika adrift in outer space. During the riveting battle scene in Act 2, the evil antagonist Teknilateroa betrays Robotika in a scintillating battle of wits. Act III begins with a massive explosion as Robotika accidently hits the big red button that destroys the galaxy's second quadrant. The opera ends with Robotika's ashes again adrift in the multiverse.
  • 39 ) Teleplay
    John Link

    The prevailing message of Teleplay's personalized system of interlocking formulas keeps close to the body. Its sumptuous appointments and genuine old-world hand craftsmanship empower enduring elegance with a current sensibility that doesn't have to be hyper-groomed or relentlessly retro. What's showing is our style.
  • 40 ) Wall Street 2008
    Rodney Waschka
    Rodney Waschka II is best known for his algorithmic compositions, his unusual operas, and theater pieces. He frequently composes music for traditional ensembles. An expert in computer music, his works often include electronic computer music or other media: visuals, theater, or poetry. Recent commercial recordings include the London Schubert Players chamber orchestra performing his trumpet concerto, Winter Concerto. Waschka teaches at North Carolina State University.
    In 2008, the world felt the results of various types of crooked and unregulated dealings on Wall Street, in and among banks, and elsewhere. These transactions included the development and use of 'derivatives' based on deceitful home mortgages. One is inclined to think of Bertolt Brecht's question: 'What is the crime of robbing a bank compared to the crime of founding one?' and to ask another: Who has been punished for these crimes?

    'Spelunk Funk' is a multitracked 7-string bass guitar improvisation with effects. Besides composition, my main musical passion remains the bass guitar, this amazing instrument which isn't even taught at most conservatories. Through college, my main bass was a '68 Fender Jazz which I still have today. However, I gradually moved over to these 'e.r.b.s' (extended-range basses) - their registral possibilities being well-suited to my work as a composer. The 7-strings i've been playing for over a decade now were co-designed by me and built by Haydn Williams and Chris May of Overwater basses over in Carlisle, UK.

  • 50 ) Benzene Ring (with Waltz for Cats)
    Donald Hagar
    Donald Hagar's music, spanning a wide range of genres, is described as rhythmically exciting and exhaustively inventive. Reviewers for the Boston Globe have called his music 'intimate,' 'finely structured'and 'perky.' Hagar studied at Ithaca College with Karel Husa and, at the Ithaca College London Centre, with Justin Connolly. At Boston University he studied with Theodore Antoniou and Bernard Rands. Currently living in Brooklyn, NY, Hagar is a teacher in the New York City Public Schools.
    Benzene Ring (with Waltz for Cats)" was written for and dedicated to Jennifer Hoyer, who, when observing the composer's use of interlocking hexagons to create pitch material, and when noting a mutual appreciation of cats, suggested the concept and title of the piece.
  • 51 ) No Rest
    Daniel Weymouth
    Daniel A. Weymouth composes electroacoustic music, as well as non-electronic music that tends to sound electronic. He is interested in highly kinetic works, perhaps because of a decade spent as an itinerant musician, playing jazz, C&W, rock, disco (!), R&B and funk. Commissions have come from international ensembles, as well as a wide range of wonderful musicians; recordings are on SEAMUS, Bridge, and New World Records. He co-hosted the 2010 International Computer Music Conference at Stony Brook University, where he is Director of the Consortium for Digital Arts, Culture and Technology, and a member of the Composition faculty.
    Something I never do: use recordings of acoustic instruments for a 'tape' piece. Here, I use a movement from my Metronome Etudes for piano and digital metronome, with the wonderful pianist Winston Choi performing. It is pretty fast to begin with, and then I take out all of the rests until it just falls apart.
  • 52 ) Burst
    Maggi Payne
    Maggi Payne is Co-director of the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College. She also freelances as a recording engineer/editor.

Her works are available on Innova, Starkland, Lovely Music, Music and Arts, Centaur, Ubuibi, MMC, CRI, Digital Narcis, Frog Peak, Asphodel, and/OAR, Capstone, and Mills College labels. www.maggipayne.com
    Burst uses the sounds of water that I've recorded over the last few years, including sounds I've recorded using my Offshore Acoustics hydrophones. Burst begins with fizzing, then turns to dry ice bubbling in water. Hydrophone recordings from the shallows of Tomales Bay, in northern California take over, ending with more dry ice bubbling, then all vanishes into thin air in an instant.

    In a Shorter Minute! (aka In a Minute!) was composed in 2011 for a Composer's Voice Fifteen Minutes of Fame competition. Influenced by NYC, the piece creates a mood which increases in energy, intensity and irony while containing a sense of humor and flexibility as it is inundated with various pitches, textures and volume.

Psychoirtrist~ can transpose and delay a monophonic input multiple times with random variations obtaining a choir effect. I decided to write "Psychoirian" to understand this game-changing processing for my musical listening and composition. "

    Lynn R Job
    Lynn Job (pronounced with a long 'o'), DMA, born in South Dakota, USA, owns Buckthorn Music Press (ASCAP/MPA). She is an active professional composer (serious "non-pop" acoustic & sonic e-art, stage & broadcast), a published poet/author, professor, biblical archaeology hobbyist, and more. Her main production studio is in North Texas. www.Buckthornstudios.com
    Psalm 86:3-4 "Have mercy/bring joy . . . for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul." "Sunesis falls" quotes Job's choral "Kyrie eleison" & "Fragment 23" within a brief meditation on baptism set within evocations of refreshing springs, Davidic harps & percussion. The use of "falls" here is as the English verb, not noun. The title then means "wisdom that networks, descending." The interior vision is of gracious mercies bathing the wise.
  • 57 ) Passing Uncertainty By
    Laurie Spiegel
    Laurie Spiegel is a creative thinker who doesn't like to do the same kind of music over and over. You never know what you're going to get.
    While composing, we feel for what's right for the next moment. We get a burst of material, maybe a phrase and then stop, uncertain again till the next idea fragment. One reason for doing music electroncially had nothing to do with timbre or interactivity - just timing. Only by electronic generation could the equivalent of a whole orchestra play non-metrical rhythms, such as this rubato, in exact synchronization. This is a standard 4 phrase form with a doubling of harmonic tempo at its midpoint.
  • 58 ) Dr. Recycle
    Captain Thomas Taglienti
    Captain Tom is a New York native. He has been performing his own brand of performance art around the city for several years. He has successfully managed to juggle his life as an embalmer and middle school science teacher with his artistic pursuits. The Captain also is the bassist in the famous Doo-Wop outfit, "The Emotions" backing band. Captain Tom also has a strong connection and reverence for the U.S. Civil War. The Captain grows all his own vegetables.
    Dr. Recycle was inspired by the work of an 8th grade student in my class. She had voiced her concerns about the amount of trash her family produced per day. Then she said, "Is there a doctor or something I can call"? Then I laughed and said, "Farhana, you mean, a recycling doctor"? We laughed and she had a good talk with her family about reducing their carbon footprint.

    "My good friends from the progressive death metal band Obscura asked me to contribute a solo for their most recent album Omnivium. Since they told me to boldly go beyond the playable, and considering the track is called Velocity, me and the tab-to-transient-button of ProTools had a little jam. And what do you know, shortly after the album's release, some kid put up a youtube video covering the solo top to bottom. Tsk, tsk, young people today...
