Mawson is a piece for computer realized quadraphonic tape, and Mertz is a duo for clarinet and horn. The pieces were written in celebration of the accomplishments of the 1911-1914 Mawson Antartic Expedition. The compositions are totally serialized, with a hexachord derived from Cartesian coordinates of Antartic locations used as source material. This hexachord was rotated and cyclically transformed to control attack, rhythm, pitch, and dynamics.Performance materials can be obtained from the Electronic Systems for Music Syntheses studio at Ball State University.
