OPENSPACE 17
*#*#*
J.K.Randall
a garland of C-sound
*#*#*
Prologue : 1. BAB-O, my realization of Benjamin A. Boretz’s recent piano
piece called “O”, whose plainjane score, like a Rorschach test, solicits
enhancements.
*#*#*
Using C-Sound software, and eschewing FM-synthesis except for last (of
1st gathering) and 1st (of last), a PowerMac G3 computer performs Nine
Salon Pieces composed originally for the Yamaha DX 100 mini-keyboard
synthesizer.
1st gathering : three 5-minute lines; then harmonies :
2. slitherest
3. kotofinger with submezzo added
4. the voice of the turtle
5. the Shadow knows
6. into a Stiff Wind
7. tintinnabulation
8. hommage à Roi (Harris)
{—recorded interlude :
9. Boogiebop & Cartoon
(live at Taplin Hall, Princeton Univ., 4/17/01)
poem by Jorie Graham
recited ( ! from memory ! ) by JKR—}
Leftovers :
10. an Overture to Something Else; in seven amply segregated
manifestations. : ffff. : i.e., Loud---gnome sane?
11. an Optional Meditation; in twelve 1-minute takes.
