Hatchet Piece

Wrong Number

Composer: Brent Wetters
Performer: Thomas Smetryns, Mandolin

This is a salut in response to the recent passing of composer Konrad Boehmer. The audio used and processed in this piece comes from a conversation between Boehmer and Nuria Schoenberg-Nono at a 1997 conference, "Presenza Storica di Luigi Nono." The musical accompaniment was composed on October 6, 2014 in Cambridge, MA.

Tini Variations

Two additional variations to be included in the Tini Variations (https://soundcloud.com/hoerspielpvd/tini-variations) set, recorded by Brent Wetters at Pleasant Valley Pkwy, on November 2, 2015. (The first would likely be placed early in the set, the second near the end.)

Two New Tini Variations for Nov 2, 2015

A new project, or possibly a revival of an old project. Until I come up with a better name, the name the music/sound featured on this stream is "Hörspiel," which translated to "hear-play." The works collected here are not exactly soundscape, not exactly radio documentary, and not exactly musique concréte. It might be best to describe what we do by naming a few works that seem like cornerstones of the genre: Glenn Gould, "Idea of North"; Bruno Maderna, "Ritratto di Erasmo"; Luciano Berio, "Thema"; Ferdinand Kriwet, "Apollo America"; Walter Ruttmann, "Wochenende"
