about

In 1973 composer/performer Richard Teitelbaum wrote a piece based on listening to and playing very softly with the distant sound of a highway as it filtered through the hills from several miles away. This experience became the basis of a score and a series of pieces called “Threshold Music”. The basic idea was to play so as to match the levels, timbres and amplitude envelopes of the sounds in the aural environment so carefully that the listeners could not really be sure what sound came from the environment and what from the “music”. The two pieces recorded here are an attempt to further elaborate on this concept.

“Threshold Symphonies” is all played on a Kurzweil 2000 Sampler Keyboard and the samples used include nature sounds, old Moog synth sounds, music of many friends, western and non-western musicians, sounds made with Max/MSP software, and others. The second work, "TBCi/bRT", is basically acoustic improvisation using piano, bells, slide whistle, and Crackle Box, and uses the soft sounds from outside (sirens) as integral aspects of the music.
