Description

Four works for computer-generated tape fill the first LP from the computer music studio at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, three of them with a live soloist. Bruce Pennycook’s If Carillons Grew Wings takes its tone colors from John Chowning’s FM synthesis, which builds complex tones by letting one wave rapidly vary the pitch of another, and from the work of Jean-Claude Risset. In one movement of Dexter Morrill’s Six Dark Questions the roles almost reverse, with the soprano Neva Pilgrim’s voice on the tape while she imitates the computer.
