Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Sound Ideas, language: English, abstract: Electronic music is everywhere. In the digital age it has never been easier for everyone among us to not only listen to compositions fashioned entirely with the help of modern technology, without a single tone being produced by a classic instrument, but to become part of the creative process as well. Basic sound recording and editing software is available for free online and each individual with access to a somewhat up to date personal computer and a stable internet connection could, theoretically, become an artist and composer in their own right. Dance, techno, trance and house music is featured regularly in the charts all over the world and has become a well accepted part of cultural life. This paper intends to look back on the origins of electronics in music, from the first experiments with recording mediums and the creative act of editing discs and tapes to the composition of the first pieces devoted exclusively to artificially generated sounds. The development from the early days of the French musique concrète to the German based elektronische Musik is traced by following the influence of the inspired genius Karlheinz Stockhausen from a small studio in Paris back to Cologne where he produced the formative works of this new branch of music, his Elektronische Studien I + II. The importance of Stockhausen’s achievements are then underlined by briefly comparing the progress pouring forth from the new unity of music and electronics in Europe and the United States and, more importantly, by exploring his legacy and the inspiration Karlheinz Stockhausen offered and still continues to provide to whole generations of new and popular musicians and composers.
Download or read book Other Planets written by Robin Maconie and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was arguably the most influential figure of the European postwar avant-garde and unquestionably the most elusive and enigmatic musical thinker of a generation that includes Pierre Boulez, John Cage, and Luciano Berio. His radically new electronic and instrumental music converted Igor Stravinsky to serialism in the 1950s and has continued to inspire young composers for more than fifty years. Other Planets: The Complete Works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1950–2007 draws on more than fifty years of Maconie’s close study of Stockhausen and functions as a catalogue raisonee of Stockhausen’s complete output. With plentiful citations from the history of radio, film, and sound recording, as well as from contemporary science and technology, the book is laid out in chronological order and contains ample commentary on the composer’s sources of inspiration. Each composition is also fully documented within the text, giving full information of each work’s publisher, catalog number, instrumentation, duration, and authorized compact disc. The updated edition extends the range of the volume’s contents to include the twenty-five works Stockhausen composed between 2004 and his death in 2007. Stockhausen’s status in the history of music in the late twentieth century can now be appreciated with unprecedented clarity. All listeners will benefit from this work, and American music lovers in particular will find it an invaluable guide to the ongoing debate and rivalry over the sources of abstract expressionism and the avant-garde.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of Electronic Music by : David Ernst
Download or read book The Evolution of Electronic Music written by David Ernst and published by New York : Schirmer Books. This book was released on 1977 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first comprehensive historical study of electronic music from World War II to the present. Giving an overall perspective of the electronic medium, David Ernst correlates historical developments with structural procedures. To aid the reader in understanding the evolution and compositional aesthetics of electronic music the author divides it into three categories: solo tape, performer with tape, and live electronics. In discussing each category Ernst concentrates upon small groups of pieces so that the structural relations between them become apparent. The Evolution of Electronic Music has a number of important features: A chronological list of pre-1948 events related to electronic music provides an historical background; It is the first non-technical examination of specific categories of electronic music based on sound sources and compositional techniques; Ernst analyzes major compositions of Stockhausen, Berio, Ligeti, Reich, and the Paris school of musique concrète composers; Graphic illustrations of selected works aid the reader in listening to those compositions; The appearance of voice in electronic works is documented; The use of electronics in jazz and rock is fully explored; Over ninety percent of all electronic compositions that are available as recordings are discussed; The detailed coverage of compositional techniques includes suggestions for original compositions; Each chapter has a discography; The bibliography includes general readings, works on computers and acoustics, and musical scores. The Evolution of Electronic Music covers both 'serious' and popular music, both notated and improvised uses of electronic sounds. It is the most complete and up-to-date book on the subject." --Back cover.

Download or read book Mars by 1980 written by David Stubbs and published by Faber & Faber Social. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to electronic music. In FUTURE SOUNDS, David Stubbs charts the evolution of electronic music from the earliest mechanical experiments in the late nineteenth century to the pre-World War I inventions of the Futurist Luigi Russolo, author of the "Art Of Noises" manifesto. He takes us through the musique concrète of radical composers such as Edgard Varèse, Pierre Schaeffer, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, to the gradual absorption of electronic instrumentation into the mainstream: be it through the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the work of pioneers like Delia Derbyshire, grandiose prog rock, or the more DIY approach of electronica, house, and techno. It's a tale of mavericks and future dreamers overcoming Luddite resistance, malfunctioning devices, and sonic mayhem. Its beginnings are in the world of avant-classical composition, but the book also encompasses the cosmic funk of Stevie Wonder, Giorgio Moroder, and unforgettable 80s electronic pop from the likes of Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, and Laurie Anderson - right up to present day innovators on the underground scene. But above all, it's an essential story of authenticity: is this music? Is it legitimate? What drew its creators to make it? Where does it stand, in relation to rock and pop, classical and jazz music, to the modern society that generated it? And why does it resonate more strongly than ever in our own postmodern, seemingly post-futurist times? FUTURE SOUNDS is the definitive account that answers these questions.

Book Synopsis A short history of electronic music by : Johann Merrich
Download or read book A short history of electronic music written by Johann Merrich and published by LIT EDIZIONI . This book was released on 2021-07-20T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of books covering the birth and development of electroacoustic and electronic music do seem to only give us a partial overview of this peculiar aspect of contemporary cultural production; essays and monographs provide an androcentric view on the subject, rarely mentioning the contribution of inventresses, female composers and theorists. The “young” age of electronic music – together with the traditional privilege granted by historians to the productions of North America and some European countries – contribute in obstructing the drafting of a paritary, diagonal and comprehensive view of this topic. This book aims to open a new perspective on electronic music history; If we want to write a new, more inclusive and equitable future, we will have to look at the facts by training a curious gaze, stripped of mechanically reiterated certainties. From the birth of the Theremin to the first commercial software intended for the production of computer music, from Japan to Russia passing through Europe and the American Continent, each chapter of this book deals with a specific moment of the history of electronic music narrated through the compositions and experiences of women composers. Addressed to lovers of electronic music, scholars and non-experts, A Short History of Electronic Music and its Women Protagonists discloses a new and vibrating universe of untold stories.

Book Synopsis Electronic Inspirations by : Jennifer Iverson
Download or read book Electronic Inspirations written by Jennifer Iverson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a decimated post-war West Germany, the electronic music studio at the WDR radio in Cologne was a beacon of hope. Jennifer Iverson's Electronic Inspirations: Technologies of the Cold War Musical Avant-Garde traces the reclamation and repurposing of wartime machines, spaces, and discourses into the new sounds of the mid-century studio. In the 1950s, when technologies were plentiful and the need for reconstruction was great, West Germany began to rebuild its cultural prestige via aesthetic and technical advances. The studio's composers, collaborating with scientists and technicians, coaxed music from sine-tone oscillators, noise generators, band-pass filters, and magnetic tape. Together, they applied core tenets from information theory and phonetics, reclaiming military communication technologies as well as fascist propaganda broadcasting spaces. The electronic studio nurtured a revolutionary synthesis of science, technology, politics, and aesthetics. Its esoteric sounds transformed mid-century music and continue to reverberate today. Electronic music--echoing both cultural anxiety and promise--is a quintessential Cold War innovation.

Book Synopsis Reminded by the Instruments by : You Nakai
Download or read book Reminded by the Instruments written by You Nakai and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Tudor is remembered today as an extraordinary pianist of post-war avant-garde music who worked closely with composers like John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen and as a founding figure of live-electronic music. His bold reinterpretation of Cage's Variations II and his idiosyncratic performances using homemade modular instruments inspired a whole generation of musicians. But his reticence, his unorthodox approaches, and the diversity of his creative output-which began with the organ and ended with visual art-have kept Tudor a puzzle. Reminded by the Instruments sets out to solve the puzzle of David Tudor by applying Tudor's own methods for approaching the materials of others to the vast archive of materials that he himself left behind. Author You Nakai deftly patches together instruments, electronic circuits, sketches, diagrams, recordings, letters, receipts, customs declaration forms, and testimonies like modular pieces of a giant puzzle to reveal a new perspective on Tudor's creative process. Rejecting the established narrative of Tudor as a performer-turned-composer, this book presents a lively portrait of an artist whose work always merged both of these roles. In reading Tudor's electronic devices as musicological 'texts' and examining his dissection of electronic circuits, Nakai transcends discourses on sound and illuminates our understanding of the instruments behind the sounds in post-war experimental music.

Book Synopsis Live Electronic Music by : Friedemann Sallis
Download or read book Live Electronic Music written by Friedemann Sallis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century, electronic technology enabled the explosive development of new tools for the production, performance, dissemination and conservation of music. The era of the mechanical reproduction of music has, rather ironically, opened up new perspectives, which have contributed to the revitalisation of the performer’s role and the concept of music as performance. This book examines questions related to music that cannot be set in conventional notation, reporting and reflecting on current research and creative practice primarily in live electronic music. It studies compositions for which the musical text is problematic, that is, non-existent, incomplete, insufficiently precise or transmitted in a nontraditional format. Thus, at the core of this project is an absence. The objects of study lack a reliably precise graphical representation of the work as the composer or the composer/performer conceived or imagined it. How do we compose, perform and study music that cannot be set in conventional notation? The authors of this book examine this problem from the complementary perspectives of the composer, the performer, the musical assistant, the audio engineer, the computer scientist and the musicologist.
