Podcasts about discreet music

Episode 142 Chapter 04, Electronic Music Composition by Process. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings.   Playlist   Time Track Time* Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:31 00:00 Yves Klein, “Monotone-Silence Symphony” (1947). I could not find any recorded versions of this piece, so I produced this realization of my own to capture the feel and nature of this process work. Klein conceived this as performance art in which an orchestra would only play a single note, continuously, for 20 minutes followed by another 20 minutes of silence. I've examined the score and can see that Klein also intended that the same note could be played in different octaves. The playing would have been staged so that one group of musicians could overlap another, both for reasons of fatigue but also to allow smooth transitions for the wind instruments because players would need to take a breath. My version includes electronic instruments for multiple parts, each part playing the same note, often in different octaves. The introduction of instrumental groups was planned in stages, each overlapping the previous grouping, gradually shortening in duration as the piece goes on. 40:03 01:34 Steve Reich, “It's Gonna Rain” (1965). Process piece using tape loops and phasing. 08:03 41:38 La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, “31 VII 69 10:26 - 10:49 PM” (1969). Early work employing electronic drones. Eponymous untitled album popularly known as "The Black Record" or "The Black Album" Mine is an original copy. The cover is black gloss print on matt black and very hard to read. Numbered edition limited to 2800 copies of which numbers 1-98 are dated and signed by the artists. This work “was recorded at the date and time indicated in the title, at Galerie Heiner Friedrich, München. The work “31 VII 69 10:26-10:49 PM” is a section of the longer work: Map Of 49's Dream The Two Systems Of Eleven Sets Of Galactic Intervals Ornamental Lightyears Tracery. Play this side at 33 1/3 rpm only.” Early work employing electronic drones. By the mid-sixties, Young and his partner Marian Zazeela were creating music for electronic drones as an extension of their group, The Theatre of Eternal Music. Using a Heathkit sine wave oscillator and later Moog modules as sources, they created drone pieces that employed “extended duration time signatures” and “long sustained tones, intervals, triads and chords to create the musical texture.” A reissue has now occurred on the label Super Viaduct. 22:49 49:24 Terry Riley, “A Rainbow in Curved Air” (1969). Minimalist process work for electronic organ. 18:46 01:12:08 Steve Reich, “Four Organs” (1970). Process piece for four electronic organs. 24:11 01:31:04 Brian Eno, “Discreet Music” (1975). Process piece for synthesizers. 31:35 01:55:12 David Behrman, “Figure in a Clearing” (1977). Process piece using the KIM- 1 microcomputer 19:13 02:25:30 Laurie Spiegel, “A Harmonic Algorithm” (1980). Self-generating program running on an Apple II computer. 03:08 02:44:48 Alvin Lucier, “Music for Piano with One or More Snare Drums” (1990). Process piece for amplified piano and snare drum. 09:20 02:47:48 Marina Rosenfeld, “Two (Joy of Fear)” (2005). Process piece for a timed improvisational live performance. 10:22 02:56:50   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

The bonefish boys kick off a new era by diving deep on Brian Eno's seminal proto-ambient album Discreet Music, which turns 50 this year—though it sure doesn't sound like it. There's also a chat about the new generative Eno doc made by Oddsac producer Gary Hustwit, as well as some good ol' bonefish rec's. Bonefish on PatreonBonefish on Instagram

Over the long tenure of Sound Opinions, hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot mentioned Brian Eno countless times. They think it's time to tackle a classic album dissection of his 1974 record Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy.) They discuss Eno's career before and since the album, as well as hear a bit of Eno himself from their 2011 interview with him.Join our Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3sivr9TBecome a member on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3slWZvcSign up for our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3eEvRnGMake a donation via PayPal: https://bit.ly/3dmt9lUSend us a Voice Memo: Desktop: bit.ly/2RyD5Ah Mobile: sayhi.chat/soundops Featured Songs:Brian Eno, "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More," Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), Island, 1974The Beatles, "With A Little Help From My Friends," Sgt.

Episode 110 Before and After Ambient, Part 1 Playlist Erik Satie, “Vexations” (1893-94), First, we will hear two piano versions (1 and 4) of this short work that was intended to be played repeatedly in one sitting 840 times in succession. The piano version was performed by Jeroen van Veen on the album Satie, Complete Piano Music (2016 Brilliant Classics). Then, we will hear an electronic version by Bhutan from Vexations (2016 Venado). Argentinean group Bhutan realized this electronic version of the Erik Satie piece in 2016. I thought it would be fitting to open the program with this because Satie's was one of the first works to be recognized in recent times as a kind of proto ambient composition. Satie preferred the term “furniture music” and thought that it would be suitable for background sound during a dinner party. The Bhutan version, realized in electronic instrumentation, is a fitting bridge of the old and the new when it comes to ambient compositions. John Cage, “In A Landscape” (1948) from In A Landscape played by Victoria Jordanova (2007 Arpaviva Recordings). This early Cage work was originally arranged either for piano or harp. It is very much the interpretation that makes this akin to ambient music. I selected this version for electric harp because it maintains the original's sense of suspended time and energy. I also like William Orbit's version but he took the orchestration to greater lengths and transforming it into something not so ambient. There is also a really quiet piano version by Stephen Drury which remains true to Cage's original intent of being “soft and meditative” with “resonances” being sustained by depressing both pedals throughout the performance. But I included this version for electric harp by Jordanova because it is more in tune with the electronic nature of the music we feature in this program. Morton Feldman, “Projection 1” (1950) from Arne Deforce, Yutaka Oya, Patterns In A Chromatic Field (2009 Aeon). Cello, Arne Deforce; Piano, Yutaka Oya; composed by, Morton Feldman. This is an acoustic work by Feldman (I couldn't find any electronic renditions) but I include it to draw similarities to the work of Harold Budd, also a pianist. In fact, Feldman was a long-standing favorite of Budd. Raymond Scott, “Sleepy Time” from Soothing Sounds for Baby, Volume 1 (1964 Epic). This legendary work is from a set of electronic and ambient records that Scott produced in the early 1960s as background music to help babies go to sleep. The electronic music was produced with his own creation, the Electronium, a from-scratch built custom synthesizer that combines electronic sequencing with tone generation and various filters. Eliane Radigue, “Vice - Versa, Etc. (Mix 1)” (1970) from (2013 Vice - Versa, Etc.). Processed tape reorder feedback. Realized at the composer's studio in Paris. Premiered in 1970 at Galerie Lara Vincy in Paris, on the occasion of a group exhibition. The stereo synthesis presented here was made in Lyon at Studio Fluorescent between 2010 and 2011 by Emmanuel Holterbach. Produced, composed, recorded using feedback by Eliane Radigue. Originally conceived as a sound installation, using several reel-to-reel tape players controlled through a mixing desk. The tapes could be played at different speeds, either forward or backward, right channel only, left channel only or simultaneously. The audience could create their own mix. Teresa Rampazzi (N.P.S.), “Environ” (1970) from Musica Endoscopica (2008 Die Schachtel). Created in 1970, this work represents a kind of reproduction in electronic sound of an ambient environment, peppered with noise and even voice. Rampazzi was a pioneering female composer of electronic music who founded the N.P.S. (Nuove Proposte Sonore) group and studio, where this was realized. Harmonia, “Hausmusik” from Harmonia (1974 Brain). Recorded and produced June - November '73 in the Harmonia home studio. Guitar, Piano, Organ, electronic percussion, Michael Rother; Organ, Keyboards, Guitar, electronic percussion, J. Roedelius; Synthesizer, Guitar, electronic percussion, D. Moebius. Brian Eno, “Discreet Music” (excerpt) from Discreet Music (1976 Obscure). Synthesizer with Digital Recall System, Graphic Equalizer, Echo Unit, Delay, Tape, Brian Eno. Brian Eno (b. 1948) worked with tape delay much in the manner defined by Oliveros for I of However, he expressed a somewhat indifferent attitude toward the outcome. He described the realization of Discreet Music (1975): “Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated toward situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend toward the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results.” Eno's composition consisted of a diagram of the devices used to generate the music. His approach was identical to that of Oliveros except that the sound material was specifically melodic and he did not modify or interact with the sound once the process was set in motion. The result in Discreet Music is the gradual transformation of a recognizable musical phrase. These 10 minutes are excerpted from the beginning of the extended work lasting 31 minutes. Brian Eno, “Through Hollow Lands (For Harold Budd)” from Before and After Science (1977 Island). Bass, Paul Rudolph; Vocals, Bell, Mini-Moog, CS80, AKS synthesizers, piano, guitar, Brian Eno. This is one of the only tracks that I would consider to be ambient from this album. Robert Ashley, “Automatic Writing” (excerpt) (1974–79) from Automatic Writing (1979 Lovely Music). This work was much talked about when it was released on record by Lovely Music Ltd. in 1979. Ashley wrote it over a five-year period after having just come back from his self-imposed exile from composing in the early 1970s. He performed it many times in various formative stages with the Sonic Arts Union before finally committing it to disc. It does indeed have a vocal, but it is also imbued with quiet, ASMR kinds of sounds that mesmerize. The basic musical material of Automatic Writing was the spoken voice, closely miked, uttering what Ashley characterized as “involuntary speech”: random, seemingly rational comments that might not make sense at all, depending on the context in which they were heard. These 10 minutes are excerpted from the beginning of the extended work lasting 46 minutes. Sri Dinesh, “Le Chant Des Étoiles” from Para Symphonie (1978 Alain Grima). French album of music to accompany meditation. It consists largely of short, repeated organ patterns and falls within the frame of mind for which ambient music was intended. Brian Eno, “2/2” from Ambient 1: Music for Airports (1978). Engineer, Conny Plank (yes, the producer of Kraftwerk). Composed, conceptualized, produced and engineered by Brian Eno. Theresa Rampazzi, “Atmen Noch” (1980) from from Musica Endoscopica (2008 Die Schachtel). Conrad Schnitzler, “Control B” from Control (1981 Dys). Edition of 1000 copies. An electronic work by Schnitzler, who played the devices, produced, and recorded the music. Opening background music: Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, Bloom 3.2 (10) (2014 Opal Ltd.). Bloom is a generative music application that composes ambient music. This recording was made using Bloom running in “Classic” mode on a Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.5.2. Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. See my companion blog that I write for the Bob Moog Foundation. For additional notes, please see my blog, Noise and Notations.  

This was recorded in 1981, in my bedroom at my parents' house. The synth is an ARP Solus overdubbed two or three times on a broken cassette deck. I was obsessed with Brian Eno's "Discreet Music" (obviously) at the time. Equally obvious: the title of this track is taken from an Oblique Strategies card (Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's deck of "over one hundred worthwhile dilemmas").  Most of the other sounds are from an elementary school recess across the street from my house. You can also hear wind chimes from my patio. Unfortunately, also audible is the woman next door yelling at her child for 10 seconds or so. This was not planned. Other than the latter, I used to find the sounds of the kids playing across the street to be soothing. I was working long hours at a record store all day, then going to see live music at night, and was often sleep-deprived. I recall taking naps in the middle of the day, and falling asleep to the sounds of the school yard and the wind chimes, as well as light airplanes overhead (Long Beach Airport was just west of our home).  Recorded by Funharm.

This time we air a takeover from Naarm-based angels Tyler and Bel. Tyler and Bel are visual artists and selectors with an unboundaried approach to sound and era. They both have shows on Mouthfull - Tyler hosts the weekly broadcast Semi-Precious, whereas Bel hosts an infrequent show titled Some Times. Their mix for FPR is split into two halves; The first explores music recorded in Denmark and Sweden between 1969 - 2022. It is inspired by a recent trip to Scandinavia, and the souvenir 12”s that made their way into Bel's suitcase - and building upon our growing collection of Northern sounds on the shelf. Referencing the diasporic pull to home, familiar melodies, tones and colours. The second hour captures music for dance and theatre, music to move to, sounds that score an imaginary performance. The mix is textural and narrative based creating a kind of escapism, with ebbs and flows of energy moving with fluidity through percussion and synths. @tylerbarrow @bella-johansson Music from Denmark and Sweden recorded between 1969 - 2022: Ellen Arkbro - Mountain of Air [Subtext Recordings, 2017] Treasury of Puppies - Bränna, känna [Discreet Music, 2022] Astrid Øster Mortensen - Ø [Förläg För Fri Musik, 2021] Thomas Bush - Firstly [Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox, 2022] Lotte og Hanne - Solskin [Abra Cadabra Production, 1977] Pugh Rogefeldt - Små lätta moln [Metronome, 1969] Lill Lindfors - (Det är då) jag känner jag vill va' hos dej [Metronome, 1975] Monokultur - För Sent [Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox, 2021] Inre Kretsen Grupp - Raoul [Fasaan Recordings, 2022] Tommy Awards - Skogen Bortom [Woodsmen and Lady Log, 2015] Golden Ivy - Kulen Natt [Malmö Inre, 2018] Dub Tractor - 104 Dub [Additive, 1997] Sjunne Ferger - Reality [Fat Records, 1984] Music for dance and theatre: Ryuichi Sakamoto - DOLPHINS [MIDI, 2015] Sign Libra - Victoria Amazonica [Antinote, 2018] Knopha - — [Eating Music, 2018] Jean-Pierre Boistel - Dans le secret & Clepsydre [Casa France-Usa, 1989] Helen Ripley-Marshall - Under the Sun [Freefall, 1988] Yas-Kaz - Mdlles.

a late-night serenade

Holed up in New York the stupidly good Steve Gunn (who's brilliant album The Unseen In Between is one of Joey's favourite of the last year) joins Jimi and Joey who are having some Friday night beers. Steve discusses how he has been making work during lockdown and the album that he uses as a comfort blanket during travel. Plus Jimi asks one of the longest questions in the pod's history. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Obscure Records was a British record label created and curated by Brian Eno with the specific purpose of publishing a series of ten albums that traced the path of ambient music’s birth. The label has been active from 1975 to 1978 issuing works from artists such as Harold Budd, Michael Nyman, David Toop and the seminal Discreet Music album by Brian Eno himself. Most have detailed liner notes on their back covers, analyzing the compositions and providing a biography of the artist, in a format that is typical of classical music albums, and as a matter of fact much of the material can be regarded as 20th century contemporary music. The episode features: Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Harold Budd, John Cage, David Toop, Michael Nyman, Gavin Bryars, John Adams, Max Eastley and Brian Eno.

Summary: The letter E has Martin and Georgia talking about the idea of Experimental, Brian Eno, Eva-Maria Houben, Ennio Morricone, Eve Egoyan and Mark Ellestad. Array to Zed is a monthly podcast exploring experimental music by way of the alphabet. Hosts Martin Arnold, Artistic Director of ArrayMusic, and Georgia Carley chat about the ideas, procedures, composers and music that make up that nebulous beautiful thing we call “Experimental Music.” Music Credits: For more information on Contact Contemporary Music go to www.contactcontemporarymusic.org/ ; go to their “RECORDINGS” page for more info on their version of Eno’s Discreet Music. Brian Eno is all over the internet and it’s easy to buy various versions of Discreet Music at various online retailers. Discreet Music includes Eno’s Three Variations on the Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel that you heard in this episode. Eva-Maria Houben is a member of the Wandelweiser collective. Go to: www.wandelweiser.de and http://www.evamariahouben.de/ for more information and to purchase recordings. Ennio Morricone is another creator whose information and purchase options are all over the internet. The piece you heard on the show is "Come Maddalena" from the 1971 film Maddalena written and directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz. For more information on Eve Egoyan go to www.eveegoyan.com.

I'm back at the helm of 101 Dimensions this week and here's what I've lined up for a late summer Saturday evening/Sunday morning:1. Thomas Dolby – Dissidents; The Flat Earth; Screen Kiss; and White City (from the album The Flat Earth, 1984)2. Alan Parsons – Return To Tunguska; Mammagamma 04; and We Play The Game (from the album A Valid Path, 2004)3. The Orb – Little Fluffy Clouds (Cumulo Nimbus Mix); Backside Of The Moon (Under Water Deep Space); and Spanish Castles In Space (Castles In Goa Mix) (from the album Aubrey Mixes – The Ultraworld Excursions, 1991)4. Mangabros – The History Of Swaying; 'z' (The Last Ghost Story); Sirens Of The Plague Coast; and White Mice In A Red Maze (from the album Deepfleshred (Venus And Mars Edition), 2018)5. Brian Eno – Discreet Music (from the album Discreet Music, 1975)I hope you will join me! Until next time...Prog On!Tony

  As I have said about 8 million times before, many mixes start with a single track. In this case it was the rediscovery of the track "Warming Trend" by Adam Pacione. It's a gentle, droning track that reminds me of Eno's Discreet Music.   I knew I wanted to use the tune in a mix and then realized that the track name would make a good title for a mix. From there I went in search of cuts that made me think of rising temps as we move from spring to summer.    So a natural first selection would be "For the Summer, Or Forever" from Halftribe's excellent new album. Most of the tunes are new, predominantly from 2017 & 2018. And they all have a lazy, slow feel that works well with the title.   Grab a cool drink(personal fav would be a tequilla mule) and hang out with this new mix.   Cheers!         T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Halftribe - For the Summer, Or Forever(2018) 03:46    36 - Ego Death(2018) 09:19    Off Land - Off Spring(2018) 13:24    Adam Pacione - Warming Trend(2007) 15:40    The Green Kingdom - Photic Zone(2018) 22:39    Segue - Westcoast Trail(2013) 27:20    Sawako - jupiter c.cloud(2018) 31:00    Moss Covered Technology - Sea #4(2018) 40:42    Tonepoet - Cosmic Blue(2018) 47:07    Christopher Willits - Return(2017) 52:40    Snufmumriko - Still Early Days(2017) 58:15    Valotihkuu - The Wind Caresses the Treetops(2017) 62:33    end

  I've always been a fan of long form ambient.  It's goes all the way back to side-long cuts on Fripp & Eno's No Pussyfooting and Eno's Discreet Music.  And more recently to the many full album cuts from Steve Roach.  He's got a number of long form tracks and I'm not sure how many he has released.   For this mix I decided to feature a bunch of long tracks and to also let a large chunk of each to play.  Most cuts in the mix play for about 20 minutes or so.  Which is why this ends up easily being the longest mix I've ever done, clocking in at 6 hours and 15 minutes.  The version on Mixcloud is 5 1/2 hours because I needed to get the file size under 500mb.   This mix should work well as an all night sleep aid.   Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Alio Die - Ultima Latet 19:15    James Johnson & Stephen Phillips - Lost at Dunn's Lake 43:15    Disturbed Earth - Butterfly 58:15    Brian Eno - Neroli 1:11:15    Sonmi451 - Ruis 1:30:15    Steve Roack - Etheric Imprints 1:43:55    Aloof Proof - The Ghost Ship 2:03:20    Harold Budd - As Long As I Can Hold My Breath 2:27:30    Seaworthy - Sleep Paths 3:04:00    Robert Rich - Somnium 3:53:15    Jim Cole - Astral 4:10:30    Steve Roach - The Delicate Beyond 4:39:20    Alio Die - In The Labyrinth Garden 5:08:15    Brian Eno - Lux 4 5:22:50    Paul Vnuk - Silence Speaks In Shadows 6:15:21    end              

These year end lists are always difficult.  But at least the top 3 spots this year were easy selections -  Alva Noto - Xerrox, Vol. 3 Max Richter - Sleep Chris Walla - Tape Loops It doesn't really matter which one grabbed the top spot, I listened to these three over and over in 2015.  Noto is known for his electronic minimalism but Vol. 3 is beautiful and lush. Max Richter's Sleep is a recording of epic proportion - 8 hours long, it amazes me each time I listen.  Tape Loops by Chris Walla(drummer for Death Cab for Cutie) has an old school ambient feel.  It reminds me of Eno's Music for Airports and Music for Films.  As large as the first two albums on the list can sound, Tape Loops is just the opposite - simple and intimate. A few albums worth mentioning - Brian Eno: Discreet Music by Contact is an orchestral arrangement of Eno's 1970s Discreet Music.  Like Bang On A Can's cover of Music for Airports this one is familiar yet fresh and different.  Worth checking out.  I've used Sine Dust tracks in several mixes and I will probably use them for years because I love the classic, spacey edge to this EP from 36. I made a few different end of the year lists, which I will post soon.  One is Best Of 2015 - Instrumental, which is a combination of ambient, electronic, classical and jazz.  For this mix I pulled out the 15 ambient albums on the list and mixed them in the order that I ranked them in that list.  The mix flows very well considering I had the order already selected for me. I'll post full year end lists soon.

As a 'sleep DJ', I'm always searching for others in the same business. I have to say that I'm pretty blown away by the whole scene of creators and our common mission of easing the tension created by a turbulent world. We all in a sense pay respects to Dave at LOWLIGHT MIXES for essentially paving a lot of the way for us to do what we do (he wasn't the first, but he's been so dedicated and consistent throughout the years that he may as well be the first). Dave got me into all of this in the first place, and through tons of badgering and questions, he got me up and running. So I'm constantly on the lookout for others that do what we do, and use Mixcloud to discover and communicate.OMUL NOU is one of the discoveries I've luckily made through Mixcloud. At times, I listen to whatever mix comes up, and hopefully it will catch my attention. Or it can be that the pure tranquility of the mix will draw me deeply into its world. With Omul Nou, the latter is the case. I have to admit, I've had some really good sleep listening to Omul's mix. At the computer. In a chair. Upright. In the middle of the day with the sun on me. More than once. And yes, drooling (bonus!). FYI, drooling to a 'sleep DJ' is like sweat to an athlete. Just wanted to clear that up. I've chose to host the mix Silent Voice. While it's a mere 2 songs, this one to me is pure meditative therapy, and it's my favorite. Also, I can say that it's so very difficult to mentally make it to the end of this without a sweet disconnect. If you can make it all the way through and don't get taken in, something is wrong. After a good dose of Omul's creation, I feel sedated with clear mind, and its ability to be work in both the background and foreground against a backdrop of commotion eases my mind This presentation is much like Brian Eno's Music for Airports or Discreet Music, and it always nice to discover a gem like this. I hope that you, the listener, finds the same peace and tranquil mental state that I've found. Enjoy the mix, and feel free to use for you nightly excursions beyond the dark curtain of slumber.
