If you're anything like Ivan (oof, sorry), you've heard of Pygmalion but never caught more than the gist. Some sort of project from the early 70s, similar to Sketchpad or Smalltalk or something, yet another promising prototype from the early history of our field that failed to take the world by storm. Our stock-in-trade on this show. But you've probably heard of Programming by Demonstration. And you've certainly heard of icons — you know, those little pictures that have become indelibly part of computing as we know it. Pygmalion is the originator of these concepts… and more! The best introduction to Pygmalion is Mariano Guerra's No-code History: Pygmalion, which includes a clearly articulated summary of the big ideas, motivation, and design, with a video demonstration of the programming interface, key terminology, and links. The most introduction to Pygmalion — or Pig Million, The Millionth Pig, as it'll surely come to be known — is the subject of today's episode: the original paper by David Canfield Smith. Links $ We don't run ads on this show anymore. Sometimes Ivan makes a fake ad for a nonsense product like CarrotGrid or Hest, but those don't pay for the dirt & vapor we grow them in. But what if they could? Gonna just get this one out of the way: Quotation — and I quote, "A crucial semantic distinction between direct and indirect speech is that direct speech purports to report the exact words that were said or written EXACTLY AS THEY WERE SAID OR WRITTEN, LU, whereas indirect speech is a representation of speech in one's own words WHICH IS ALSO TOTALLY FINE, BUT JUST BE COOL ABOUT IT HEY?" @TodePond@mas.to: but wouldn't it be funny... if i quoted those statements on a podcast... and the podcast editor thought... "that doesn't sound right, bret can't have said that"... (he can do no wrong after all)... and so they thought i was just paraphrasing him wrong... and they didn't mark them as quotes like all the other quotes in the show... wouldn't that be funny DrawDeadFish.com Shout out to Brian Hempel who sent us (among other treats) this concise summary of Pig Million from the seminal book Watch What I Do: Programming by Demonstration. Recent FoC Patreon bonus episodes were about the game Baba is You and, on our first ever video episode, the design of a visual representation for machine code. Leda and the Swan.

Las vanguardias sonoras del S. XX se abren a nuevas posibilidades, a nuevas formas de expresión y a explorar conexiones imprevistas entre lo visual, lo sonoro, lo espacial, que cada vez más implica lo corporal con su multisensorialidad. Los inicios del siglo XX fueron particularmente interesantes para el desarrollo de nuevas formas sonoras experimentales, en un momento en el que los conceptos artísticos de la cultura occidental se van expandiendo. Hoy vamos a detenernos sobre algunos de estos pioneros del siglo XX como es el caso de Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , Luigi Russolo, Leigh Landy, John Cage, Conlon Nancarrow y alvin Lucier Escuchar audio

Mit Werken von Conlon Nancarrow, Klarenz Barlow, Jagyeong Ryu (UA), Jean-Claude Risset, Ludger Brümmer, u.a.; Soloklavier: Susanne Achilles [25.09.2021] Im Rahmen des Projektes »EASTN-DC« werden selbstspielende Klavierwerke im ZKM Foyer präsentiert. Die wohl gelungensten akustischen Musikmaschinen sind durch die Integration von Instrument und Computer steuerbare Konzertflügel. Deren Entwicklung folgt einer langen Historie von autark spielenden Player Pianos bis hin zu Nancarrows präziser Papierrollen-Steuerung mit pneumatischer Mechanik. Computerflügel ermöglichen eine ungeahnte rhythmische Präzision, die sich bei mehreren verwendeten Instrumenten auch als Raumklang artikuliert. Mit freundlicher Unterstützung des ComputerStudio der Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, das dieses Konzert mit der Leihstellung von drei Computerflügeln ermöglicht, werden im großen Klangraum des Foyer des ZKM insgesamt vier Computerflügel von einem Computer gesteuert.

Jahrhunderte lang waren (mechanische) Musikmaschinen nicht nur notdürftiger Ersatz für Instrumentalisten aus Fleisch und Blut, sie waren vor allem eine Attraktion, Unterhaltung. Im Zeitalter der elektronischen Reproduzierbarkeit können spezielle ästhetische Ideen umgesetzt werden. Aus dem Umfeld von Bricolage, Fluxus, Klangskulptur und Klangkunst gingen anarchisch-spielerische, sich immer auch etwas selbst parodierende Klangmaschinen hervor, die visuelle und akustische Ebenen verbinden und dabei die Grenzen der Kunstgattungen hin zur Performance, zur bildenden Kunst und zur Klangskulptur überschreiten. Conlon Nancarrow und Peter Ablinger, Pierre Bastian, Joe Jones oder Jean Tinguely sind nur ein paar bekannte Künstler, die sich dem Phänomen Klangmaschine verschrieben haben.

Marc-André Hamelin — Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Sonatas & Rondos (Hyperion) Jump to giveaway form   New Classical Tracks - Marc-André Hamelin by “They shouldn't expect anything quite as exciting as drum and bass. Give it a minute or two, because the riches that some music offers may not be apparent at first,” said pianist Marc-André Hamelin, encouraging you to check out his latest two-CD compilation, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Sonatas & Rondos. “I can tell you how it all started. My wife, Cathy Fuller, was a classical radio host in Boston in 2008 or 2009. She chose to play a little Sonata in E Minor, which is not even eight minutes for the three movements,” he said. “Suddenly, the composer decides to finish the piece. It just cuts off in the middle of a phrase. “This was absolutely what Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote, and I thought this was worth exploring. I started sight reading at the keyboard, and I was just fascinated by how daring and delightful it was.” Can you talk about how this composer was the first one you performed? “The first time I was on a stage was at a local competition in Montreal when I was 9. I played a group of five pieces, but the first piece was a little work in G Major. The score said it was by J.S. Bach. It has since been determined that it was composed by C.P.E. Bach. So in essence, C.P.E. Bach was the first composer I ever played in public. “I just strolled to the piano confidently and played my music from the very beginning. From that instant I realized that I just didn't have any kind of stage fright.” Did you write a piece based on the Solfeggio in C minor? “Yeah, I've written three pieces specifically for the player piano. It's like Conlon Nancarrow, who devoted his whole life to the player piano. It was partly inspired by him and the fact that I grew up with a player piano as a medium because my grandparents had one.” Can you give us examples of the evolving mechanics of the keyboard through C.P.E. Bach's compositions? “There was one piece that was written for ‘A' [his] clavichord where, while the title is very explicit, he is bidding farewell to an instrument that he had owned for decades. He was giving it as a present to somebody. This piece is slow and wistful. “He said in the letter to the future owner, this piece is absolutely impossible to play on any other instrument. It would be interesting if it had survived, which I don't believe it has. If you played the clavichord, as I have tried to do, it's not easy. You get a sense of what this piece could sound like.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Michael Allan Patton (born January 27, 1968) is an American singer, producer, film composer and voice actor, best known as the lead vocalist of the alternative metal band Faith No More. Noted for his vocal proficiency, diverse singing techniques, wide range of projects, style-transcending influences, eccentric public image and contempt for the music industry, Patton has earned critical praise and influenced many contemporary singers. One of the most versatile, innately talented, and idiosyncratic singers in rock music, Mike Patton is also one of the genre's most valuable players, since he has divided his time between a host of diverse projects including Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Nevermen, Dead Cross, and an experimental solo career. In addition to his band and solo work, Patton is a gifted actor and producer who has collaborated with a wide array of artists, including John Zorn, Sepultura, Melvins, Melt Banana, and Kool Keith.

Synopsis The expatriate American composer Conlon Nancarrow came to the conclusion that the rhythmically complex, intricate contrapuntal music he wanted to write would be too difficult for mere mortals to tackle, so he composed for a mechanical instrument: the player piano. Despite its complexity, Nancarrow's music drew some of its inspiration from the human, all-too-human jazz stylings of Art Tatum and Earl Hines, and the complex rhythmic patterns of music from India. Nancarrow was born in 1912 in Texarkana, Arkansas. At the age of 18, he heard Igor Stravinsky's “Rite of Spring,” which sparked his life-long interest in rhythmic complexity. Soon after, Nancarrow began private studies with American composers Roger Sessions and Walter Piston. He moved to Mexico City in 1940, where he lived and worked until his death. Nancarrow composed in almost total isolation until the late 1970s, when some of his piano roll compositions appeared on record. These created quite an impact, and the MacArthur Foundation awarded him its ‘genius' award. Late fame even brought a series of commissions from performers willing to take on the challenge of performing his difficult music. One of these pieces, Nancarrow's String Quartet No. 3, was premiered on today's date in 1987 by the Arditti Quartet.

Tashi Wada joins Nikita Gale and Alexander Provan to speak about technologies that claim to capture the souls of performers. Wada presents a composition for a “high-resolution player piano” and asks how we discern between human expression and technical perfection, how we listen to virtuosos and machines. He speaks about the pandemic-era vogue for liveness at home, the displacement of pianists by piano rolls (or proprietary software), and the differences between people and marionettes. And, with Gale and Provan, he listens to Conlon Nancarrow, Glenn Gould, Perry Como, advertisements for hi-fi systems, the ghost of Art Tatum, and the stars of Hologram USA Theater.Tashi Wada is a Los Angeles-based composer and performer who founded and runs the label Saltern. His most recent album, Nue, was released by RVNG Intl. in 2018.The composition presented on this episode, Table of Visions, was commissioned by Triple Canopy as part of a residency at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and written for the Steinway Spirio, a player piano designed to record and replay live performances. (Triple Canopy recently published an essay about the composition with recordings of two sketches, excerpts of which are played on this episode.) With Gale and Provan, Wada speaks about the history and future of “high-resolution” technologies, which aim to approximate (or supplant) liveness—and, increasingly, are aided by precise records of all that we say, do, and play. They discuss the age-old dream of perfect fidelity as manifest in musical automata, cutting-edge stereos, and holograms of Tupac and Michael Jackson. And they ask how the pursuit of performances that exceed human capabilities change us as listeners as well as laborers.In this episode, Gale, Provan, and Wada speak about Philip Auslander's Liveness: Performance in a Mediatized Culture (Routledge, 1999); Heinrich von Kleist's “On the Marionette Theatre,” 1810; and the work of Patrick Feaster, a specialist in the history, culture, and preservation of early sound media. In order of appearance, the music and other recordings played on this episode are: Steinway & Sons, “The Features of the Steinway & Sons SPIRIO | r,” 2019; Glenn Gould playing Bach's “Contrapunctus IV,” “Glenn Gould on Bach,” Sunday Concert, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1962; Perry Como, “Goodbye, Sue,” (Victor, 1943); Conlon Nancarrow, “Study For Player Piano No. 13” Studies for Piano Player (Other Minds, 1977); “Study For Player Piano No. 42,” Conlon Nancarrow: Studies for Player Piano, Vol. V (Wergo, 2018); a film by RCA that introduces the company's high-fidelity stereo system, 1957; “Variations on Glenn Gould,” Telescope, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 1969.Medium Rotation is produced by Alexander Provan with Andrew Leland, and edited by Provan with Matt Frassica. Tashi Wada composed the theme music. Matt Mehlan acted as audio engineer and contributed additional music.Medium Rotation is made possible through generous contributions from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Nicholas Harteau. This season of Medium Rotation is part of Triple Canopy's twenty-sixth issue, Two Ears and One Mouth, which receives support from the Stolbun Collection, the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation, Agnes Gund, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Studies began life as an aid in the struggle to master the piano within the human limitations of two hands and ten fingers. But from being the bane of many a pianist's life and a means of selling more pianos, these arid technical exercises flowered into some of the greatest music written for piano from Chopin, though Debussy to György Ligeti. And in Conlon Nancarrow's studies for player piano, they even inspired the greatest set of keyboard works beyond any human ability. To find out how and why studies evolved to transcend their original function, Tom Service is joined by musicologist Katy Hamilton and talks to Pierre-Laurent Aimard who worked closely with Ligeti on his extraordinary series of studies, widely regarded as some of the greatest piano music of the 20th century.

durée : 00:25:11 - Conlon Nancarrow, un temps mécanique - L'américain Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997) a quasi exclusivement composé des études pour piano mécanique, instrument qui lui permit de déployer des pièces d'une virtuosité surhumaine mais aussi d'une complexité rythmique sans égale. Retour sur un compositeur très discret

Zwischen technischer Faszination, Klangbastelei, Reproduktionsgerät und Kunstobjekt Jahrhunderte lang waren (mechanische) Musikmaschinen nicht nur notdürftiger Ersatz für Instrumentalisten aus Fleisch und Blut, sie waren vor allem eine Attraktion, Unterhaltung. Im Zeitalter der elektronischen Reproduzierbarkeit können spezielle ästhetische Ideen umgesetzt werden. Aus dem Umfeld von Bricolage, Fluxus, Klangskulptur und Klangkunst gingen anarchisch-spielerische, sich immer auch etwas selbst parodierende Klangmaschinen hervor, die visuelle und akustische Ebene verbinden und dabei die Grenzen der Kunstgattungen hin zur Performance, zur bildenden Kunst und zur Klangskulptur überschreiten. Conlon Nancarrow und Peter Ablinger, Pierre Bastian, Joe Jones oder Jean Tinguely sind nur ein paar bekannte Künstler, die sich dem Phänomen Klangmaschine verschrieben haben.

Composer Amy Williams joins us to discuss her youth surrounded by amazing composers and performers in her living room and her early professional years embarking on crazy projects like transcribing Conlon Nancarrow's music for piano four-hands with her duo partner Helena Bugallo. She speaks with us about collaborating closely with and tailoring commissions to specific performers and ensembles. We also chat about her role as Artistic Director of New Music on the Point, where she connects superstar performers and composers with young emerging artists, fostering collaborations lasting many years. The compositions of Amy Williams have been presented at renowned contemporary music venues in the United States, Australia, Asia and Europe, including Thailand International Composition Festival, Ars Musica (Belgium), Gaudeamus Music Week (Netherlands), Dresden New Music Days (Germany), Musikhøst (Denmark), Festival Aspekte (Austria), Festival Musica Nova (Brazil), Roulette and Bargemusic (New York), LA County Museum of Art, Piano Spheres (Los Angeles) and Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music. Her works have been performed by leading contemporary music soloists and ensembles, including the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, JACK Quartet, Ensemble Aleph, Dal Niente, Wet Ink, Talujon, Empyrean Ensemble, Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, California E.A.R. Unit, Dinosaur Annex, International Contemporary Ensemble, h2 Saxophone Quartet, Bent Frequency, pianists Ursula Oppens, Corey Hamm and Amy Briggs, and bassist Robert Black. Her pieces appear on the Albany, Parma, VDM (Italy), Blue Griffin, Centaur and New Ariel labels. As a member of the Bugallo-Williams Piano Duo, Ms. Williams has performed at important new music festivals and series throughout Europe and the Americas. The Duo has recorded four critically-acclaimed CDs for Wergo (works of Nancarrow, Stravinsky, Varèse/Feldman and Kurtág), as well as appearing on the Neos and Albany labels. Ms. Williams was the recipient of a Howard Foundation Fellowship for 2008-2009, a Fromm Music Foundation Commission in 2009 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2015-2016. Ms. Williams has taught at Bennington College and Northwestern University and is currently Associate Professor of Composition at the University of Pittsburgh. She is the Artistic Director of the New Music on the Point Festival in Vermont. Resources discussed in today's episode: George Lewis, A Power Stronger than Itself The musical excerpts heard in today's episode were composed by Conlon Nancarrow and Amy Williams and performed by the Bugallo-Williams Duo and the JACK Quartet.

In de maand augustus in Vrije Geluiden speciale aandacht voor de cellosuites van Johann Sebastian Bach. Gespeeld op cello, op viool, op altviool, of op saxofoon! Maar ook volkomen andere toffe muziek, van nieuwe uitgaven op cd of digitaal, uit fraaie archiefvondsten en nog-lang-niet-sleetse grammofoonplaten. Met Bach gespeeld door Rachel Podger, Kim Kashkashian, Lucia Swarts, en Peter Gregson, en muziek van Conlon Nancarrow.

Wat moet een componist als zijn of haar inspiratie en fantasie de grenzen van het menselijkerwijs mogelijke te boven gaan? Nieuwe technieken uitvinden, nieuwe speeltechnieken of nieuwe instrumenten. Of slim en handig gebruikmaken van bijvoorbeeld technologische ontwikkelingen die - onvermijdelijk - ook hun stempel drukken op de muziek. Conlon Nancarrow tikte in 1947 een ponsmachine op de kop waarmee hij pianolarollen kon maken, en dat leverde een serie stukken op die je normaal gesproken nooit als menselijk musicus zou kunnen spelen (tenzij in een slim arrangement natuurlijk). Ruim een halve eeuw later maakte cellist Peter Gregson gebruik van allerlei digitale mogelijkheden om een 'hercompositie' te realiseren van de cellosuites van Bach. Zo klinken ze nog steeds als Bach, maar dan alsof ze niet 300, maar 3 jaar geleden zijn bedacht. Of nu ja... dat is misschien wat overdreven. Maar een tikje over the top, da's soms best lekker toch?

This week, I have the incredible honor of welcoming renowned pianist Ursula Oppens to the show. A legend among American pianists, Ursula is widely admired for both her original and perceptive readings of new music, and for her knowing interpretations of the standard repertoire. As you'll hear in the episode, she's an incredibly passionate and wise musician!  Her and I covered several topics, from the reality of a career in music today, to how she approaches learning repertoire, and how she's stays focused in the practice room! In this episode, Ursula expands on: Her love of new music and how it developed early on in her life How she approaches bringing new music to life Why she doesn't think musicians should have a niche but should, instead, be interested in learning Her view of the musical landscape of today What improvisation can bring to our playing How she loves practicing (and I love that she said that so much!) How mental and muscle memory develop together Why she thinks it's important to memorize music in order to learn it better Her strategies to find energy, motivation, and focus to practice Why flexibility is a crucial skill to develop How a well-rounded education is also very helpful Her very wise piece of advice for young musicians Ursula is a force of nature and very generous with her insight.

Många barn intresserar sig för planeter, stjärnor och hela universum. Några fortsätter leken hela livet som forskare, liksom astrofysiker Bengt Gustafsson. Hur har universum fått till denna stora rikedom? Stjärnor, tunga grundämnen, planeter, liv, djur, människor, musik? Ska man sammanfatta det kort kan man säga: genom att pröva sig fram på ett lekfullt skapande sätt. Naturen prövar som ett barn som försöker göra något nytt resa sig upp och stå på benen, ta ett steg framåt, falla, pröva igen.  Naturen lär sig liksom barn av sina misstag det som fungerar blir bestående, fastnar i minnet, förs vidare, kodat som DNA. Men många försök är bara infall inte är det bara fråga om systematiska undersökningar heller. Naturen är envis men inte särskilt läraktig innan den uppfunnit DNA, då fungerar minnet bättre. Men det ser mest ut som spontan lek. I spellistan bl.a Ingvar Lidholm, Chick Corea, Victoria Borisova-Ollas, Louis James Alfred Léfébure-Wely, Don Ellis, Camille Saint-Saëns och Conlon Nancarrow

Conlon Nancarrow är en av 1900-talets mest egensinniga kompositörer. En man med stor inre övertygelse som helt och konsekvent gick sina egna vägar. Kommunist som stred i frivilligbrigaderna i Spanien mot Franco, vägrade göra ”vänsteravbön” i hemlandet USA. Lämnade istället landet och bosatte sig i Mexico. Där ägnade han sig åt en enda sak; Att utforska rytm! FULL RULLE! Conlon Nancarrows extremt komplicerade kompositioner visade sig tidigt helt omöjliga för mänsklig hand att utföra – så hela hans värld rörde sig kring en specialbeställd stansmaskin som gjorde det möjligt att komponera direkt för självspelande piano. Alldeles för fort. Alldeles för mycket. Och oändligt fascinerande. Outtömligt för den rytmiskt intresserade. Och ibland vansinnigt roligt! Anders Olsén samtalar med kompositörerna Karin Rehnqvist och Christofer Elgh om denne ”pigge” musikprogrammeringspionjär. Karin Rehnqvist är kompositionsprofessor vid Kungliga Musikhögskolan i Stockholm, där också Cristofer Elgh undervisar i bland annat kontrapunkt. En P2 Dokumentär av Anders Olsén.

We play a lot of Mexican music on the show but we’ve been thinking for a while that it was about time we tried to sort out the fake (mainly German) Mexicans from the real thing. So on this week’s … Continue reading →

Most pianos have 88 keys, but the notes that they produce are just the beginning of the sonic possibilities available to the keyboardist. This week we'll listen to how boundary-shattering composers from John Cage to Conlon Nancarrow unlocked and exploited keyboard instruments' aural potential.
