Synopsis Today's date marks the 1953 New York premiere of a musical movie that flopped when it debuted but has since become a cult classic – and for two very good reasons.First, the movie's script – written by Dr. Seuss – was about a little boy named Bart who didn't enjoy practicing the piano and who was worried that his widowed mom might marry his dreaded piano teacher. The film, entitled “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T,” is cast as Bart's dream – or nightmare – with surreal scenarios as only Dr. Seuss could imagine them. Second, the film boasted a score by Frederick Hollander, a composer of droll Berlin cabaret songs who found a welcome home in Hollywood. For “The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T,” Hollander crafted witty songs and an extravagant instrumental sequence for a whacky Seussian ballet.Despite all that, The New York Times reviewer was bored: “a ponderously literate affair,” he wrote. The film did have its fans, however, and one was a little boy who DID like to practice the piano – singer and pianist Michael J. Feinstein, who lovingly gathered together all of Hollander's used and unused music for the movie for a limited edition CD-set released in 2010.

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American Hollywood Actress from the Golden Age of cinema, yet was a technological pioneer. She began her acting career in her native Austria before emigrating to the United States in the 1930s. She appeared in numerous films throughout the 1930s and 1940s, including the controversial film "Ecstasy". Lamarr was also known for her beauty, and was voted the "most beautiful woman in films" by the Hollywood Film Industry Guild in 1940. In addition to her acting career, Lamarr was also an inventor. During World War II, she and composer George Antheil developed a secret communication system to help the Allies fight the Nazis. Their invention, a frequency-hopping system, used a piano roll to randomly change the radio frequencies of torpedoes, making them harder to detect and jam. The technology was ahead of its time and was not used during the war, but it forms the basis of modern wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and WiFi. In 2014, Lamarr and Antheil were posthumously inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. But that's not all, tune in now to hear the full story of the amazing, Hedy Lamarr. - History For Weirdos Feature! Thank you for listening Weirdos!

Synopsis On New Year's Eve, 1948, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra gave the first performance of the Symphony No. 5 by the American composer George Antheil. Now, in his youth, Antheil was something of a wild man, composing a Ballet mechanicque for a percussion ensemble that included electric bells, sirens, and airplane propellers. It earned him a reputation, and Antheil titled his colorful 1945 autobiography what many called him: "The Bad Boy of Music." But the great Depression and World War II changed Antheil's attitude. Rather than write for small, avant-garde audiences, Antheil found work in Hollywood, with enough time left over for an occasional concert work, such as his Symphony No. 5. In program notes for the premiere, Antheil wrote: "The object of my creative work is to disassociate myself from the passé modern schools and create a music for myself and those around me which has no fear of developed melody, tonality, or understandable forms." Contemporary critics were not impressed. One called Antheil's new Symphony "nothing more than motion-picture music of a very common brand" and another lamented its "triviality and lack of originality," suggesting it sounded like warmed-over Prokofiev. The year 2000 marked the centennial of Antheil's birth, and only now, after years of neglect, both Antheil's radical scores from the 1920s and his more conservative work from the 1940s is being performed, recorded and re-appraised.

Un 8 de julio de 1900, nacía el compositor estadounidense George Antheil. Vanguardista, pianista, autor e inventor, Antheil fue conocido como "Bad Boy de la Música", tras sus composiciones modernistas que incluían percusión, timbres eléctricos y hélices de avión, que sorprendieron y horrorizaron oyentes en Europa y los EE.UU durante la década de 1920, momento de ruptura y provocación donde no se pretendía que el escucha comprendiera el discurso musical sino que experimentara sensaciones o emociones sonoras; se aspiraba a que dejara de ser un objeto pasivo o intelectualmente intoxicado. Su producción es muy poco conocida, acaso la única obra que se ha escuchado más, tal vez por la controversia que provocó, sea el Ballet Mécanique. En su estreno europeo, bajo el griterío, disconformidad y desagrado del público, se presentó en una versión para piano solo con un proyector cinematográfico pues fue compuesta originalmente como acompañamiento sonoro del film que con el mismo nombre crearon el pintor dadaísta Fernand Léger y el cinematógrafo americano Dudley Murphy. No es sino hasta 1999 cuando se realiza un registro sonoro de la obra en la versión definitiva del propio Antheil, en una grabación realizada en la Universidad de Massachusetts bajo la producción de Lehrman. Esta versión definitiva del Ballet pour instruments Mécaniques et percussion es para tres xilófonos, cuatro tambores, tam-tam, dos pianos de cola, siete timbres eléctricos, tres motores de aeroplano, una sirena y dieciséis pianolas. A continuación escucharemos un fragmento del Ballet pour instruments Mécaniques et percussion de Antheil interpretado por Philadelphia Percussion junto a Piano Project bajo la batuta de Phillip O'Banion.

Synopsis It was on today's date in 1926, an avant-garde musical piece entitled “Ballet Mechanique,” scored for multiple pianos and percussion, had its PUBLIC premiere at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris. Its composer was a 25-year old American named George Antheil. But Antheil's piece had its PRIVATE premiere earlier that year at the palatial Parisian home of a very beautiful – and very rich – young American who wanted to break into elite European society. Antheil suggested that the lure of cutting edge music and buckets of free champagne would win over her specially invited audience of Parisian bluebloods. Antheil described the scene as follows: “8 grand pianos filled up the giant living room completely and without an extra inch of room, while the xylophones and percussion were located in the side room and on the giant staircase. [The conductor] stood at the top of the piano in the center. To this already jammed-packed house, add 200 guests!" Maybe it was the music, maybe it was the champagne, but it did the trick. “The last we saw of our beautiful young hostess that day,” Antheil recalled, “she was being thrown up and down in a blanket by two princesses, a duchess, and three Italian marchesas.” Music Played in Today's Program George Antheil (1900 - 1959): Ballet Mecanique (Ensemble Modern; HK Gruber, cond.)

“How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” If George Antheil were asked that question in 1927, he would have answered that it was easy. After the scandalous Paris premiere of his aggressively avant-garde “Ballet Mécanique”—scored for 8 pianos and lots of percussion, including airplane propellers—Antheil received a cable offering financial backing for a one-night only performance of the new work at Carnegie Hall. Antheil was broke at the time, so the offer was hard to refuse. For his Carnegie Hall debut, Antheil also programmed his brand-new Jazz Sinfonietta—and hired the all-black W.C. Handy jazz band to accompany him at the piano—and remember, this was 11 years BEFORE Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall jazz concert famously presented a racially-integrated ensemble on the same stage. “The public paid scant attention,” Antheil later recalled. “They had come to see and hear the Ballet Mecanique. The new Jazz Sinfonietta which I composed specially for the occasion was played by a large Negro orchestra whose personnel contained a list of names later to become tremendously important in popular music . . . but the critics took almost no notice except to say that my Sinfonietta was reminiscent of Negro jazz and not as good.”

Today, Emily shares a story of old Hollywood, multiple marriages, and a genius inventor, Hedy Lamarr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52h_LZnsMhE&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=YouTubeMovies (Watch a documentary) on the life of Hedy dubbed "The World's Most Beautiful Woman." Hedy Lamarr was a clever and complex woman. Although Hedy was a brilliant inventor and incredibly shrewd, during her life she was primarily known for her successful career as a glamorous icon of old Hollywood and many marriages. Out of the spotlight (or using it to her advantage), Hedy proved herself to be a progressive thinker, working to eliminate boundaries not just for herself but all women.  The innovation in Hedy was Inspired by her father. As a young child, he often spoke to her about the mechanics of machines and challenged her to think critically.  During WWII, Hedy and her friend and avant-garde piano composer, George Antheil designs and shared a patent for an invention that prevented signals transmitted over radio from being intercepted by the enemy. This secret communication system was designed with the purpose of blocking Nazis from intercepting Allied transmissions. This invention was called Frequency hopping. Rather than broadcasting over a single channel, messages would jump seemingly at random across many channels. As a nod to Antheil, their invention used 88 channels like the keys on a piano.  1997 Hedy and George Antheil received the Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for their contributions to the field of spread-spectrum technology. Member of the awarding committee said this about the coveted award “Ironically, this tool they developed to defend democracy half a century ago promises to extend democracy in the 21st century.” Hedy's inventions were revolutionary and have led us to modern-day Wi-Fi. Despite being repeatedly underestimated, rejected, and patronized Hedy has shown us that you are the result of your effort, not what others are ready to accept.  Books we are currently reading: • Ask for it: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever • American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins** **as a note about American Dirt, this novel is about the experiences of a Mexican woman's flight to the United States with her son. It is written by a woman who identifies as white, Latinx. While we have enjoyed the novel and the conversations it has sparked we acknowledge the controversy of whitewashing and pandering language as well as the depth of racism within the publishing industry. We look forward to bringing you a recommendation of a novel written by a Latino author reflecting their own narrative. We hope to see Latino authors receiving the same financial support and media acclaim that has been received by American Dirt.

Episode 16, 2020: Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique Wednesday 18 November 2020 For ANAM Radio’s final 2020 episode, Phil Lambert (ANAM Music Librarian) and Peter Neville (ANAM Head of Percussion) talk about one of the 20th Century’s unique, bizarre and outrageous compositions, George Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique. Born in New Jersey, Antheil found himself in Paris in the 1920s along with other great American modernists of the time. In 1922, Antheil met Russian composer Igor Stravinsky who then had an idea of writing a piece for the pianola. The following year, Antheil came up with his own composition for 16 pianolas and percussion. Ballet Mécanique was premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in 1926 to a sold-out concert attended by James Joyce and TS Elliott, but his eclectic musical experiments proved to be harder to pull off during his time resulting to a riot performance. After not being able to keep up with the complexity of the composition, it was believed that Antheil never tried to make anything as ambitious again and became a more conventional composer. Ballet Mécanique was conducted by Peter Neville and performed by ANAM musicians and guest artists in 2016.

Emprendemos una huida desesperada, cargando dos kilos de heroína y toda la miseria existencial de la América de finales de los sesenta. Karel Reisz dirigió en 1978 Who´ll Stop the rain, titulada en España “Nieve que quema”. Adaptación de la gran novela de Robert Stone, "Dog Soldiers". Reisz, emigrante Checo, venía de formar parte activa del Free Cinema inglés, aquella generación de jóvenes airados (Angry Young Men), comprometidos socialmente y a rebosar de talento. Nieve que quema recoge la devastación interna que la guerra provoca, un conflicto prohibido para los medios, que empezaba a analizarse a finales de los setenta. El Final de una época rezuma en la película, Reisz explora las ruinas morales y espirituales de América, la maldita guerra del Vietnam, con sus miserias políticas y económicas. La Creedence Clearwater Revival y su icónico Who'll Stop the Rain, como referencia cronológica e hilo musical. Todo arranca con el agotamiento mental de un reportero de Guerra, John Converse (Michael Moriarty), sumido en una crisis existencial, ha descubierto la manera perfecta para escapar, la heroína; un hombre al que siempre utilizan los poderes superiores. Su mujer es frágil y también está desamparada (Tuesday Weld), Marge lo espera en un San Francisco Hippie desalmado, su forma de soportar el día a día son también las drogas, en forma de pastillas, pero con el mismo fin. El tercero en discordia es el amigo del reportero, Ray (Nick Nolte) un marine, duro, brusco, idealista, noble, que sabe muy bien lo que es la guerra y asume el control cuando se destapa que han usado al inocente John para traer la droga a los EE.UU Gran Interpretación de Nick Nolte, intensa y tormentosa, un veterano que no se puede adaptar a la vida civil, cansado de que gente inferior le dé ordenes. Nietzsche de fondo, la soledad, las armas, la promesa de un amor imposible…            Apareciendo la droga llegan los perros que se enriquecen con ella. Un agente federal corrupto, Antheil, interpretado por el magnifico Anthony Zerbe y dos sicarios siniestros, mitad cómicos mitad aterradores. Tarantino, o los mismos Cohen, podrían haber descrito a estos tipos. Hay una escena de tortura que lo atestigua, igual de inquietante es aquella en la que Ray prepara unos “picos” para unos pijos que no se enteran de nada, otros desertores morales a los que castigar. Reisz narrar la historia de manera eficaz, no hay excesos ni adornos….esa imagen final del desierto y el agente corrupto del gobierno arrastrándose para salvar un poco de la Heroína derramada es otro ejemplo de hacia dónde iba aquella sociedad. Un viaje de sueños rotos y desesperación, de traiciones y amistad, un triangulo amoroso de nieve que quema….Errores que dejan heridas. Nos vamos con Gimme some Lovin, interpretda por The Spencer Davis Group y como Bonus Tracks, os dejamos Put a little love in your heart de Jackie Deshannon. Atrincherados en la Torre de Radiopolis, mientras la Creedence suena a todo volumen y las explosiones emocionales hacen retumbar el estudio, defendemos el alijo del Cine….

Should the music be in the audience's comfort zone or should we challenge them with newer sounds? How do we keep the costs down especially if we are a per service orchestra? Do we have a budget for royalties for new music? How do we market to attract the most attendees? Nothing is easy.

This coffee break takes a final listen to the extraordinary development of the use of percussion from the 1600s to the 20th Century. We listen to the coronation of Boris Godunov, thanks to Mr. Mussorgsky, then a hair-raising section from Verdi's Manzoni Requiem. Button up your windbreakers for a triple threat of storms blowing in: Richard Strauss' Alpine Symphony, Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes, and Peter Westergaard's Moby Dick. We close our survey with two wildly creative pieces, Antheil's Ballet Mechanique (with airplane engines as percussion) and Varese's Ionisation (fire engine sirens.) After this invigorating coffee break, you might have to switch to decaf. Let us know what you think.

Er war das Enfant Terrible der neuen Musik: der amerikanische Komponist George Antheil. Sein "Ballet Mécanique" machte ihn 1924 schlagartig bekannt. Zur Besetzung gehörten u. a. Propeller, eine Sirene und 16 Pianolas. Kein Wunder, dass die Uraufführung im Tumult endete. Autor Martin Zingsheim findet: Antheil schrieb das vielleicht krawalligste Meisterstück der Musikgeschichte.

Hollywood, 1940. Hedy Lamarr, known in Hollywood as "the most beautiful woman in films" already had quite a reputation. The first woman to perform a nude scene in mainstream cinema, Hedy had fled Europe and a marriage to Mussolini's arms dealer to become box office gold, starring alongside Clark Gable and Spencer Tracey. But it wasn't the life she wanted. Knowing, from her marriage in Vienna, that military use of torpedos was being hampered by their single-frequency transmissions, Hedy, along with George Antheil, her piano-playing neighbour, set about creating a system called frequency hopping, in which parts of a signal were sent across different frequencies. The system was based on the piano rolls that Antheil used in his player pianos, and allowed torpedos to be controlled without being intercepted. The patent she held is the basis for the wi-fi, GPS and mobile communications we use today.
