Title A name given to the resource TaleSpin Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1999 Description An account of the resource TaleSpin was commissioned by the Montague/Mead Duo (Philip Mead, Piano & Stephen Montague, Electronics). It is a short musical fantasy, written in a quasi-romantic style. It has something of a program, too, whose subject may be evident from some of the section titles: Telltale, Hot Topic, Blissful Ignorance, Morning After Songs, Still Spinning, and Picking up the Pieces. Many of the electronic sounds are processed sounds recorded inside the piano, included stopped and bowed notes, plucked and struck notes, prepared notes, etc. In the outer fast sections, it is similar to a piano 4 hands piece, with the computer responsible for the middle two “hands.” The computer part is relatively simple and accompanimental, however, while that played by the performer – the outer two hands – is soloistic and quite virtuosic.

Title A name given to the resource The Adventures of Norby Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <a href="http://compel-dev.vtlibraries.net/items/show/646">Keith Kirchoff</a> Description An account of the resource <div class="work-body"> When I was a child, one of my favorite books to read was a series of science fiction novels by Isaac Asimov entitled Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot. Although I remember very little of these books, the title character still holds a very sentimental part of my heart. In the books, Norby and his boy owner would travel the galaxy, inevitably get in to trouble, and somehow always manage to save the day. The Adventures of Norby (2007) is a theatrical work for piano and pre-recorded electronics that chronicles the exploits (unrelated to the novels) of Norby. The piece is very visual, and to be most effective, it must be seen in person, which I suppose makes it an unintentional statement on the societal obsession over recordings. During the piece, the pianist taps various parts of the case with his/her hands and fists, plays drumsticks on the floor, uses hard mallets inside the piano on the iron frame and the strings, and also improvises. The piece also blends several musical genres together. </div> Composition An original work. Composed by a link back to one or more Person records responsible for the composition. <a href="https://compel-dev.vtlibraries.net/items/show/706">Christopher Hopkins</a> Instrumentation The current version (2009) is for C flute, although the original version (2006) was for alto flute and an opportunity to remix the electroacoustic sound with a new performance on this lower flute would be welcome. Assistant to perform audio cues. For concert performance the use of a footswitch by the flutist can detract from the drama of the work, so the audio files are best performed by an offstage assistant (often from the sound reinforcement console). The person performing cues should be able to read a musical score and take visual and aural cues from the flutist. Length 8:30 Technology Requirements The flute is normally amplified into on-stage speakers not used for the audio files, using reverberation in a live mix indicated by the score. The electroacoustic sound is performed from cues to start playback of quadraphonic sound files, and mixed into a quadrilateral speaker setup surrounding the audience. An alternate stereo version is available. The choice of software to perform the audio cues is up to the performer. Playback of the audio files must allow overlap, where one audio file can begin as the previous finishes. No more than two layers are required. There is a simple Max patch supplied for performance and rehearsal. An additional patch is supplied for an individual alone to practice in stereo with selection of a MIDI controller input to advance cues. These patches have been tested for Max 5 or later.

Title A name given to the resource The Animus Winds Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Description An account of the resource The Animus Winds is a composition for flute and electroacoustic sound. Thematically, the composition explores an opposition of two perceptions: the sensual experience of wind against a personification of wind as a supernatural force. The electroacoustic sound recolors and reshapes recordings of wind and flutes, such that flutes take on characteristics of the wind, and wind takes on both musical and vocal qualities. There is also a dramatic schema, in which the flute takes the role of a person who is at times drawn into the natural spirit of the wind, and at other times strongly confronts its more hostile animus.

The sharp rhythms, dense textures, and freely chromatic harmonies are orchestrated in a manner that, in my mind, programmatically represents celestial bodies impacting our planet in it’s beginning stages billions of years past. This work should be performed aggressively, in strict time (no rubato), and with no breaks (rit) in between ‘sections.’ It might be helpful to imagine comets striking our planet’s surface when internalizing The Bringer of Life.
