Steve Peters: Mountains Hidden in Mountains (2004)
“Made in 2004 as a sound installation inside a faux bell tower at the Santa Fe Art Institute. When rung by a visitor, the beater triggers a recording of the bell that fades in imperceptibly as the real sound decays, creating the illusion of an endless tone. The sound changes subtly over 30 minutes (this is a greatly condensed version), slowly mixing in layers of pitch-shifted bell tones that get increasingly lower until they finally evaporate into silence.”

James Ross: Winds and Strings (2007)
James Ross: Winds and Strings (2009)
“Winds and Strings” is concerned with the possibilities of composition with a very limited number of pitch classes; each instrumental part has its own pitch material (though there are some common tones), and the entire gamut of pitches was derived by combining the pool of tones. The piece is completely multicyclic–every instrumental part travels in a 3-, 5- or 7-bar orbit of 3/4 time.”
Joshua Parmenter: Cadence (III. Decrescendo) for computer realized sound (2005)
Joshua Parmenter: Cadence (III. Decrescendo) for computer realized sound (2005)
“Cadence for computer realized sound is the third in a series of pieces exploring four musical changes: crescendo, decrescendo, accelerando and ritardando. Cadence uses the last few seconds of Schubert’s quartettsatz in c minor as source material for a large scale decrescendo. Rather then just turning the volume down on the sound, the piece is shaped spectrally over its duration, gradually stripping away more and more of the sound until it disappears completely.”

Jim Perkins (Bigo and Twigetti): Feed (2009)
“bigo and twigetti is a collection of musicians from London, who create music which combines elements of folk, electronica and classical music with live laptop performance. Their music can be found under several guises, from individual composers and artists to collectively under b&t; or Ranger3. Their live shows feature realtime use of electronic effects, recording and playback combined with a mixture of hand-made and homespun folk playing and technically complex yet emotive classical performance.”

Jeff Harrington-Agnus Dei Wave (2002)
“AgnusDeiWave is an ecstatic ambient voyage through choral textures in deep space; the culmination of a series of experiments in formant wave synthesis. Vocal analysis from a recording of Josquin’s Agnus Dei motivates a timeless series of crashing heavenly vocal chords. My first piece on my Yamaha FS1R formant synthesizer.”
