Episode 172 Chapter 31, ARP Analog Synthesizers. 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. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast.

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.

Episode 94 Electronic Drone Music Playlist Yves Klein, “Monotone-Silence Symphony” written in 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 drone 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. La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, “31 VII 69 10:26 - 10:49 PM” from 31 VII 69 10:26 - 10:49 PM / 23 VIII 64 2:50:45 - 3:11 AM The Volga Delta (1969 Edition X). 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. Tony Conrad, “Process Four of Fantastic Glissando” from Fantastic Glissando (2006 Table of The Elements). Dating from 1969, this recording contains various versions of the same sound piece, each processed slightly differently. “Process Four” accumulates the processed applied to the previous three processes. The first glissando recording was made using a sine wave oscillator processed through pump counter with a stereo-phase glissando. Recorded December 12, 1969, on a Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder set at 3¾ ips. Conrad was in LaMonte Young's circle of friends and performers and joined him on many productions of The Theatre of Eternal Music. Teresa Rampazzi , “Duodeno normale” and “Duodeno Patologico” from Musica Endoscopica (1972). Here we have two short electronic works from this remarkable women composer that emphasize the drone. The pulsing tones and textures were played manually using audio oscillators. Music produced by the N.P.S. (Nuove Proposte Sonore) group for the documentary entitled "Gastroscopia" (Gastroscopy) realized in 1972 by Prof. Domenico Oselladore, University of Padova, in collaboration with Istituto De Angeli s.p.a., Milan. This documentary was presented at the Scientific Film Festival, Policlinico Universitario di Padova, 1972. “Duodeno Normale” begins with a drone consisting of two continuous tones: a low-pitched buzz from a sawtooth wave accompanied by a pulsating higher-pitched tone. The drone is joined at the 11-second mark by a high-pitched ringing tone played on a third oscillator. This ringing tone is repeated every 5–8 seconds and sustained for two or more seconds each time. The irregular timing of the tone suggests that Rampazzi was manually playing it by turning the dial of an oscillators. The ringing tone is sustained for the duration of the piece, creating a three-part drone. The drones fade out, beginning with the lower buzzing tone. “Duodeno Patologico” uses a similar process. The Taj-Mahal Travelers, “The Taj-Mahal Travelers Between 6:20~6:46P.M.” from July 15, 1972 (1972 CBS/Sony). Released in Japan. Early album by the group founded by experimental electronic musician and violinist Takehisa Kosugi. Electronic Contrabass, Suntool, Harmonica, Performer Sheet Iron, Ryo Koike; Guitar Electronic Quiter, Percussion, Michihiro Kimura; Electronic Trumpet, Harmonica, Castanets, Seiji Nagai; Vibraphone, Santoor Suntool, Yukio Tsuchiya; Electronic Violin, Electronics, Radio Oscillators, Voice, Takehisa Kosugi; Vocals, Tokio Hasegawa. This album was recorded live at Sohgetsu Hall, Tokyo, Japan, July, 1972. Originally released using Sony's SQ quadraphonic system. Yoshi Wada, “Earth Horns with Electronic Drone”(1974) from Earth Horns with Electronic Drone (2009 EM Records). Recorded at Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York, February 24, 1974. Electronics, Liz Phillips; Pipehorn Players, Barbara Stewart, Garrett List, Jim Burton, Yoshi Wada; Electronic equipment designed by, Liz Phillips, Yoshi Wada; Pipehorns constructed by, composed by, recorded by, Yoshi Wada. Combining four of Wada's self-made "pipehorns" (constructed of plumbing materials, over three meters in length), with an electronic drone tuned to the electrical current of the performance space, this is a lost masterpiece of early drone/minimalism. The performance filled the space with complex overtones generated by the ever-shifting interplay of the breathing horns and the constant electronic drone. Lou Reed, “Metal Machine Music” (1975 RCA). All music and electronics by Lou Reed. Inspired by LaMonte Young, this is what I would call a noise drone! Reed himself points to the influence of Young in his lean liner notes. "SPECIFICATIONS: No Synthesizers, No ARP, No Instruments?” Sony 1/2 track; Uher 1/4 track; Pioneer 1/4 track; 5 piggyback Marshall Tube Amps in series; Arbitor distortor (Jimi's); Marantz Preamps; Marantz Amps; Altec Voice of America Monitor Speakers; Sennheiser Headphones; Drone cognizance and harmonic possibilities vis a vis Lamont Young's Dream Music; Rock orientation, melodically disguised, i.e. drag; Avoidance of any type of atonality.; Electro-Voice high filter microphones; Fender Tremolo Unit; Sunn Tremolo Unit; Ring Modulator/Octave Relay Jump; Fender Dual Showman Bass Amp with Reverb Unit (Pre-Columbia) white. Eliane Radigue, “Triptypch” Part 2” (1978). (2009 Important Records). Electronic Instrumentation: ARP 2500 modular synthesizer and analog, multitrack tape composition. The piece uses real-time ARP programming, tape loops, and recorded acoustic sounds. This piece is characteristic of Radigue's fervent exploration of gradually changing layers of harmonically intersecting tones. It is the kind of drone work that can easily dip the listener into a pool of trance and is one of the composer's many works grounded by her dedication to Tibetan Buddhism. Note the overall slowly evolving changes formed by overlapping sustained tones presented without any clearly articulated beginnings and endings. John Cage, Gary Verkade, “Organ2/ASLSP” from The Works for Organ (2013 Mode). John Cage composed “Organ2/ASLSP” in 1987 for solo organ. This piece has been realized at a variety of lengths, from about 30 minutes, to 8 hours, and what is arguably the longest interpretation of music ever played, now 23 years into its projected run of 639-years being performed now in Halberstadt Cathedral, Germany where a special organ was created to perform the piece unattended until a chord change is called for. This work is not electronic, although the pipe organ may be thought of by some, including me, as the first synthesizer. Although I won't be playing this work except in the background of this introduction, I needed to mention it because of its significance in the canon of drone music. “This composition consists, like Cage's ASLSP, of 8 pieces. Unlike ASLSP, however, all pieces here should be played. Any of the 8 pieces may be repeated, and these repetitions may be played subsequent to any of the other pieces. The published score consists of a title page, brief instructions, and 4 leaves with music. Each page contains 2 pieces.” Phill Niblock, “Guitar, too, for four—The Massed Version” from G2,44+/x2 (2002 Moikai). 24-track mix of guitar samples from Rafael Toral, Robert Poss, Susan Stenger, David First. Guitarists adding 2 live parts each to the 24 track mix version: Kevin Drumm, Lee Ranaldo, Thurston Moore, Robert Poss, Alan Licht. Niblock's usually works with acoustic instruments, so this venture with electric guitar is somewhat unique in his body of work. He asks musicians to play parts that are first recorded and then reworked in the mixing and editing process, largely to eradicate pauses and silences so that the sounds can be blended without such interruptions. Pauline Oliveros and Reynols, "Half a Dove in New York, Half a Dove in Buenos Aires" (1999) (2022 Smalltown Supersound). Reynols is an Argentinian experimental band that began in 1993 as Burt Reynols Ensamble. Band member Alan Courtis wrote to me, saying, “First of all, thanks a lot for mentioning our Pauline Oliveros in the arms of Reynols collaboration in your book Electronic & Experimental Music. She was a great musician/composer and friend.” After which he pointed me to a “recent release of an old project we made with Pauline back in 1999.” This is it! Opening background music: Tony Conrad, Arnold Dreyblatt, Jim O'Rourke, “Side 1” from Tonic 19-01-2001 (2023 Black Truffle). Performers, Arnold Dreyblatt, Jim O'Rourke, Tony Conrad. Recorded January 19,2001 at Tonic, New York City. 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 episode was originally released in September of 2019. Music We start with the Opening of Craig Armstrong's score to Far From the Madding Crowd. Glass Houses no. 13 from Ann Southam. Earring from Julia Wolf. Occam II for Violin from Eliane Radigue. Rearranging Furniture from Gabriel Yared's score to By the Sea. A bit of Movement II from Martynov, “Come in!” by Vladimir Martynov.

I also enjoyed stumbling upon this day-by-day breakdown of F.D.R.'s Presidency.
South-east Turkey-born DJ sound artist and producer, Banu is bringing the sounds for our next mixtape. The artist uses music as a political tool. For Banu, the strong message carried through sound is a vehicle to express emotions as well as a means of fighting against oppression. Coming from a conservative family, making music has been her lifelong dream. It was the moment she had the opportunity to work with the iconic Arp 2600 synthesiser (a younger sibling to Eliane Radigue's infamous 2500 machine) that all her interests came into place to create an empowering soundscape with the aid of analogue drum machines. In her artistic practice, Banu uses participation, social design, ecology, and feminist and queer theory to create multimedia installations with sound as the main element, making her practice closer to contemporary art and activist spaces than the club realm. Banu has also been exploring her approach to sound and composition through her PhD research, focused on how to include sound in the Urban Design process. As Urban Design and Architecture concentrate mainly on the visual aspect of the urban space, other senses have never thought of or given very little consideration. For Banu, listening and hearing are essential in our daily life to understand the urban space and our surroundings. She also told us how she took the challenge and included human perception with Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening theories and what attentive listening can bring about. She proposes sound as a participatory tool which means not only measurements and acoustics play a role but how we as users hear or listen to the urban space. Banu has also very recently released her debut album 'TransSoundScapes' (Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound, 2022). The production is an exercise in female solidarity between her as a migrant woman (she's currently based in Berlin) and her sisters from the trans community, where an artist from one marginalised group showing support towards her trans sisters, using her platform to help them amplify their voices and building a bridge towards a mutual understanding of femininity. There is also a part where she proposes urban space as a music composition - she doesn't believe in improvisation. She thinks there are rhythms in life that everyone follows, but we still create a holistic composition; this is why life goes. There are ruptures, like accidents or pandemics... But we still find harmony. This mixtape, she says, it's a bunch of secret conversations with her Arp 2600 and everything influencing what she hears and listens to. It is about synths and drums.

Asier Puga vuelve a EPSA para despedir el 2021 apuntando al 2022, dándonos unas pinceladas de lo que será la temporada XXVII de la Orquesta de Cámara de Zaragoza, que a lo largo del 2022 y bajo el naming de "Sobre la Posibilidad de lo Salvaje" se desarrollará en un abismo peligroso y audaz, comisariado por el propio Asier. De este modo, no sólo podremos vislumbrar el corpus de la temporada, además podremos colegir lo que supone programar y proponer este tipo de contenidos en el meta contexto de la "Alta Cultura" y la "Música Clásica". La programación se puede ver en detalle en https://www.ocazenigma.com/xxvii-temporada , y para terminar el programa me marco una sesión en la que personalidades tan opuestas como Eliane Radigue, Ruth White o Magpahi dialogan a través de décadas y sensibilidades que van desde la abstracción aparentemente otherkin a la tradición barroca desde la vanguardia clásica para hacer una regresión a la caverna primordial, húmeda como el útero, en la que la música se crea por vez primera.

"Antecedentes de la música drone" es el título del triple programa monográfico que se inicia con este espacio, y en el que presentaremos algunas manifestaciones musicales que pudieron influir en la aparición de un género (o, más bien, una práctica compositiva) caracterizado por la presencia de sonidos que se mantienen durante largos periodos de tiempo y que, en su caso, evolucionan muy lentamente. A menudo, esos sonidos estáticos ocupan el registro más grave y, sobre ese bordón o nota pedal (expresión que nos permitiría referirnos en nuestro idioma a esta práctica como "música pedal", prescindiendo de anglicismos), los parciales superiores que completan su espectro armónico van experimentando diferentes variaciones tímbricas, texturales, rítmicas, etc. Antes de abordar la escucha de ciertos usos precursores de estas técnicas compositivas, en el inicio de esta emisión repasamos algunas de las figuras más representativas en el ámbito de la llamada "drone music", al tiempo que presentamos algunos fragmentos representativos de su trabajo (y rememoramos también las apariciones de estos autores en pasadas ediciones de Ars Sonora -para los oyentes que deseen profundizar en sus respectivas creaciones a través del podcast de nuestro espacio-). Nombres como los de Phil Niblock (con piezas como "Poure", que nos acompaña en el inicio), La Monte Young o Alvin Lucier -fallecido el pasado 1 de diciembre- se entremezclan con los de compositoras tan reconocidas como Eliane Radigue (de quien presentamos un fragmento de "Koume"), Pauline Oliveros o Ellen Fulman (cuya "Bass Song" también recordamos), en una clara muestra de cómo las artistas mujeres han destacado especialmente en este terreno creativo. Tras ese panorama, dedicamos este primer capítulo del monográfico a presentar diferentes composiciones tradicionales procedentes del subcontinente indio. En ellas es frecuente el uso de una nota pedal que sirve como base de la interpretación musical. El instrumento encargado de esta función suele ser la tampura (también conocida en nuestro idioma como tambora), instrumento de cuerda pulsada de la misma familia de la vina, que está relacionada con la diosa Saraswati, patrona y musa de las Bellas Artes en el panteón hindú. Los ejemplos que escuchamos van desde la música carnática de Veenai Dhanammal (1867-1938) hasta el trabajo de los músicos de la compañía del bailarín Uday Shankar, hermano mayor de Ravi Shankar, el conocido virtuoso del sitar (cuya música también ofrecemos), pasando por la audición de otro resultado de la influencia de estos creadores en canciones de The Beatles como "Within You Without You", integrada en el disco "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", de 1967. Escuchar audio

Nepal traffic reimagined by Simon Kennedy. "The more than brilliant Dillon Bastan's Emit was used for the work. There is no processing at all other than slowing time by 4000%. This study is what I am calling a Ganzfeld audial experiment. Ganzfeld is a Gestalt term describing a phenomenon of perception caused by exposure to an unstructured, uniform stimulation field. The effect is the result of the brain amplifying neural noise in order to look for the missing visual (or audial) signals. If you have seen a James Turrell environmental installation then you'll get the idea of the Ganzfeld effect. Max Neuhaus is an artist whose sound work encourages the effect. Many composers (John Cage, Pauline Oliveros and Eliane Radigue) have worked with a form of composition that combines their spiritual (often Buddhist) practise with a sonic minimalism. Many academics refer to this work as requiring a focussed, reduced, deep, layered or quantum listening. This piece offers a mandala or quadrat to stimulate reflection. Katmandu lies in the valley known as the Nepal Mandala. A mandala is known, in some faiths, to represent the spiritual journey, starting from outside, venturing to the inner core, through transitional and increasingly enlightened layers. The mandala is a meditative simulacrum to be repeatedly contemplated to the point of saturation, such that the stimulus becomes fully internalised in even the minutest detail and can then be summoned and contemplated at will as clear and vivid. A mandala traditionally has four gates. This quadrat imagines four gatekeepers offering wayfinding to, perhaps, a spiritual meditation on the four stages to enlightenment. Or the four deracinating stages of culture shock: disorientation, negotiation, adjustment and assimilation (or, often, revulsion). Maybe we follow the path from simulacra to simulation when we realise we do not experience a faithful image or copy of a place but a perversion in which our experience has no relationship to any reality or place whatsoever. The final gatekeeper suggests we reflect on the environmental and ecological consequences of our journey and our impact on this place: creation-germination; croissance-augmentation; existence and division; degradation, collapse and extinction."
While the history of electronic music includes many notable men whose stories have been frequently celebrated, the genre has also provided a space for a wide range of extraordinary women to create a musical room of their own. Working with machines meant being able to sidestep many of the hurdles that stood in the way of women aspiring to a musical career, such as access to orchestras, commissions and concert halls, and an over-riding failure to be taken seriously by the male musical gate-keepers. Elizabeth Alker examines the connections between early pioneers such as Eliane Radigue and Daphne Oram (who gained access to studios thanks to the second world war), those musicians who followed in their immediate wake such as Suzanne Ciani and Laurie Spiegel, and today's generation of female composers. Anna Meredith, Holly Herndon, Afrodeutsche and JLin all speak with Elizabeth about their own work and the debt they owe their predecessors. Central to the story is the composer and academic Pauline Oliveros, who founded the San Francisco Tape Music Centre, and whose theories around deep-listening as a feminist act shape so much of the texture of the music created by the women and men who followed her. This is music, Elizabeth argues, which has an emphasis on tone and texture. This lends it a particular quality making it both distinct from its male equivalent and also profoundly beautiful and rich.

In the 1940's, Pierre Schaeffer realized that the electronic medium opens up music composition to the whole domain of sonic phenomena. Technology enabled the composer to work directly with sound itself as opposed to an abstraction of it, operational signals on a sheet given to performers that could interpret them and realize the piece. For him, this reversal of the compositional process meant that we would need a new vocabulary to describe the whole reality of music, that notation only rendered a part of while all the while being prescriptive ; a language based on the premise that musical sounds are most importantly perceptual realities rather than acoustic ones. His idea was that we could use this framework to describe, discuss and reflect on our perception in a more objective way instead of relying on references to the origin of the sounds or onomatopoeia. This would in turn enable composers to identify and classify their materials based on their perceptual characteristics before manipulating and combining them into a piece of music. Buchla's 200e, to me, embodies these concepts in a single, open-ended instrument that allows me to generate, shape and articulate sounds into musical objects for both composition and performance. This piece is an exercise in acknowledging my influences as well as a display of the way in which I have been using my 200e system in composition. It is organized in three parts : Part 1 : A dynamic and busy system, where the ‘humanized' noise of the 272e provides changing and unpredictable timbres accumulating in parallel to the 261e's shapeshifting waveforms. The 223e allows my hands to guide the flow of the processing and impart intentional gestures among the chaos of the patch. Sounds disintegrate, coalesce and resonate as they move around the different channels of the (mixed down) quadraphonic space. Part 2 : A pulsating drone swells and brightens as it iterates. Here, I am trying to coax the slowest movements that I can out of the 200e, as I open a filter on a rich sound being continuously shaped by the 296e. At the time of composing this section, I was listening to a lot of Eliane Radigue's electronic works, which are often based around the careful exploration and subtle control of the movement and beating that stems from phase relationships between oscillators. I chose to pay tribute to her unique form through this progressive reveal of the spectral content of the sound, making its various components gradually percolate and collide across delay lines. Part 3 : Part 2 blends into part 3, wherein sorrow gives in to a more hopeful colour. The 272e is sampled and then manipulated. Repetition, like an attempt to eternalize things I know have to die, disperses faint echoes that become more distant and fade in and out, gradually, like memories. Thank you to Kyle and Robert for the podcast and for providing me with an opportunity to share this. Thank you for listening and keep on patching! Bandcamp : https://davidpiazza.bandcamp.com

Les Femmes s'emparent d'ELAB, notre programme estival dédié aux femmes DJs, devient une émission mensuelle sur C Lab, en parallèle d'Électro Lab. Et c'est la pianiste, productrice et DJ brestoise Fraval qui prend les commandes d'ELAB pour ce nouveau numéro.Électro Lab · LES FEMMES S'EMPARENT D'ELAB #12 FRAVALOn braque de nouveau les projecteurs du côté de Brest, une ville qu’on aime beaucoup et dont la scène électronique ne cesse de nous ravir. Notre nouvelle invitée est pianiste, productrice et DJ, sous l’alias Fraval. On vous en déjà parlé dans l’émission Électro Lab puisque son premier morceau signé sur un label est sorti sur la compilation Bienvenue à bord bâtard de Dans la zone. On vous présentait ça y a quelques semaines, le podcast est dispo sur le site de C lab, et son morceau “Juvenes”, est dispo à l’écoute sur notre SC, si c’est pas fait allez checker cette magistrale composition reprenant un vocal de Mademoiselle Diam’s en personne. Avant de se plonger dans la techno il y a deux ans, Fraval a commencé la musique vers 3-4 ans, elles a fait du piano pendant 12 ans, du conservatoire en composition, autant dire qu’elle a un joli bagage de musicienne, un parcours classique qui fait un peu penser à celui de Jean Terechkova, la DJ de la Tangente et productrice qu’on connaît bien dans cette émission. C’est d’ailleurs à travers le piano que Nolwen, alias Fraval, a son premier coup de foudre pour Aphex Twin, avec ses musiques instrumentales. Ce n’est que bien plus tard qu’elle découvrira tout ce que l’artiste anglais a apporté aux musiques électroniques, et il est à ce jour une des figures qui l’inspirent le plus. Elle cite aussi Eliane Radigue, pionnière de la musique électronique âgée aujourd’hui de 89 ans, et qui a participé en leurs temps aux expérimentations de musique concrète du GRM, avec Pierre Schaeffer, Henry et compagnie. Elle est une des premières femmes en France à avoir utilisé un synthétiseur.Pour revenir à Fraval, vous trouverez sur son compte SC des productions de ces deux dernières années, elle s’essaie a pas mal de styles différents, avec toujours une attention à l’harmonie, on sent bien le côté expérimentation d’une jeune productrice. Ses derniers morceaux sont plus que prometteurs, elle s’affirme dans une esthétique techno, trance, rave. Elle s’est aussi mise à mixer il y a un an et elle a pu jouer à quelques événements dans le Finistère. Ce soir elle nous propose un DJ set de 50min, une petite balade dans ses influences du moment, qui vous prend doucement par la main et vous emmène dans une danse, dans une transe les yeux fermés et les bras levés. Laissez vous bercer par la symphonie de la techno, par les mélodies de la rave, par la trance langoureuse, envolez-vous dans l’acid, vous êtes avec Fraval sur C Lab.< LES FEMMES S'EMPARENT D'ELAB >Passées une centaine d'émissions sur C Lab, il a bien fallu se rendre à l'évidence : les femmes manquent cruellement à nos micros. Sur les 35 émissions réalisées l'année dernière, seulement quatre DJs femmes... Un constat qui fait mal à la scène bretonne, pourtant super-active et fière de l'être.Cette année, afin de commencer à notre niveau, local et associatif, à contrer cette tendance structurelle de manque de visibilité des artistes femmes qui se reflète, bien malgré nous, dans notre programmation, nous avons décidé de lancer une émission mensuelle dédiée exclusivement à des femmes DJs. RDV le premier vendredi du mois.Remercions spécialement le webzine PWFM qui nous confie gracieusement pour illustrer ce programme le logo de sa branche féministe, Provocative Women For Music. On ne pouvait pas rêver meilleur visuel que celui conçu par Théo Baize, alias Hello Hello Theo, pour imager notre volonté commune de rendre visible ce qui est trop souvent tu ou ignoré dans une culture phallo-centrée : le talent féminin. Un grand merci à elleux, on vous invite à aller découvrir leur nombreux projets visant à fédérer les femmes de la musique électronique.BONNE ÉMISSION

„Collaborating is the main life force for me.“ Two inspiring harpists have met for the Darmstadt On Air podcast #13: Gunnhildur Einarsdóttir is an Icelandic harpist based in Berlin, founding member of Ensemble Adapter and harp tutor of the Darmstadt Summer Course since 2014. She invited harpist and improviser Rhodri Davies, who is a based in Swansea, South Wales. He plays harp, electric harp, live-electronics and builds wind, water, ice, dry ice and fire harp installations. Rhodri has released five solo albums and is also working in different constellations with artists like John Butcher, John Tilbury, Michael Duch and many others. Gunnhildur and Rhodri both studied with the Welsh harpist Sioned Williams and it was through her that they first heard of each other. The two harpists have both been doing pioneering work in order to invigorate the harp repertoire with new pieces. They also share an artistic approach that is very much based on collaboration and cooperation. Their conversation is about choosing collaborators, about ego and trust, about Rhodri’s collaboration with Eliane Radigue, who wrote the first of her OCCAM pieces for him, about verbal transmission of interpreters‘ knowledge, about the grey area between improvisation and composition, and about diving into a composer’s world and inhabiting in it with one’s own ideas and sounds.

Précipités de lenteur - Matthieu Saladin00:00 - 24:00 Une proposition de Matthieu SaladinPrécipités de lenteur est un projet protéiforme. Conçu initialement pour une exposition personnelle au BBB centre d’art à Toulouse en 2019, il est devenu depuis un essai d’économie politique de la musique publié dans la revue Audimat, une mixtape pour un marathon confiné du festival Sonic Protest et à présent un programme radiophonique de 24 heures pour *DUUU Radio. Quelle que soit sa forme, il s’agit à chaque fois d’interroger l’idéologie de l’accélération qui gouverne nos sociétés, à travers des expérimentations sonores menées sur le ralentissement. À l’heure du trading à haute fréquence, de l’occupation 24/7 du temps de vie, de l’apologie de la mobilité et de l’augmentation généralisée du rythme des changements sociaux, ces expériences constituent autant de critiques en acte, de tentatives de temporisation, sinon de replis face aux impératifs de l’accélération. Dans le contexte actuel de pandémie, où cette fuite en avant semble avoir été – temporairement – stoppée net dans sa course, ces musiques résonnent sans doute encore autrement, tel un retard en guise de prélude, celui-là même où nous vivons.⏳ Précipités de lenteur (version programme radiophonique) ⏳ 🕛 Dj Screw, In The Air Tonight 🕛 Harry Pussy, Let’s Build a Pussy 🕐 La Monte Young, Dream House, Map Of 49's Dream, Drift Study, The Second Dream Of The High Tension Line Stepdown Transformer From The Four Dreams Of China 🕞 A$AP Rocky, Purple Swag, Been Around The World, Get Lit 🕓 John Cage, Organ2/ASLSP 🕡 Michael Prime, One Hour As A Plant 🕢 Philip Corner, Satie Slowly 🕤 Neu!, Cassetto 🕤 Dj Screw, Chapter 178 – In the Zone 🕚 Neu!, Hallo Excentrico!, Super 16 🕚 Michael Snow, Falling Starts 🕛 Kylie Minoise, You Suffer 🕐 Alvin Lucier, Nothing Is Real (Strawberry Fields Forever) 🕐 Taku Sugimoto & Radu Malfatti, Futsatsu 🕞 A$AP Rocky, Purple Swag – Chapter 2 🕞 Walter Marchetti, Natura Morta 🕟 Dj Screw, Same Ol G 🕡 Eliane Radigue, Adnos I-III 🕙 Earth, Seven Angels, Teeth of Lions Rule The Divine 🕥 Collin Olan, Rec01 🕚 Gavin Bryars, The Sinking Of The Titanic

Mysteries of the Deep Podcast, Chapter CXI by Claudio PRC (@claudioprc). Cover photo courtesy of Candace Price. 'With this mix I wanted to experiment with some of the folk music that I collected during these years of traveling around the globe. I wanted to combine a certain type of traditional world music, mainly Asian, with a raw and enveloping ambient and electro-acoustic background. Inside there are aspects of Mongolian, Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean music culture, together with field-recordings by Hafdís Bjarnadóttir from Iceland and electronic compositions by Eliane Radigue, Pete Namlook, Carlo Giustini, Loscil and Music For Sleep. My aim is to submit the listener to a different approach to listening to folk music, creating a soundscape that fully reflects the experiences and emotions during those travels.' Tracklist: 1. Hafdís Bjarnadóttir - North (Island) 2. (till end) Eliane Radigue - Adnos I 3. Pete Namlook - Music For Urban Meditation - Part II 4. Damdin Khadkhuu - Intro (Mongolia) 5. Carlo Giustini - I Cani Di Strada Ottavi 6. Splendour Of The Shakuhachi - Yamagoe (Japan) 7. Loscil - Windless 8. 大悲咒課頌 - Track 2 (Taiwan) 9. Music For Sleep - Notturna 10. Byungki Hwang - The Labyrinth (South Korea)
The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia, a collective of independently owned and operated podcasts. A note on shownotes. In a perfect world, you go into each episode of the Memory Palace knowing nothing about what's coming. It's pretentious, sure, but that's the intention. So, if you don't want any spoilers or anything, you can click play without reading ahead. Anyway... Music We start with the Opening of Craig Armstrong's score to Far From the Madding Crowd. Glass Houses no. 13 from Ann Southern. Earring from Julia Wolf. Occam II for Violin from Eliane Radigue. Rearranging Furniture from Gabriel Yared's score to By the Sea. A bit of Movement II from Martynov, "Come in!" by Vladimir Martynov. Notes Plenty written about the Willie D.. I found Roger Branfill-Cook's Torpedo: the Most Revolutionary Weapon in Naval History to be particularly useful. I also enjoyed stumbling upon this day-by-day breakdown of F.D.R.'s Presidency.

In the current era of festivals that curate their line-ups adhering to gender equality policies, 'me-too' social campaigns and a booming feminist literature, we decided to pay tribute to female music dedicating an entire episode to the female pioneers of electronic music, following their works with those of their contemporary successors, revealing an accurate fil rouge that connects the two generations. The episode features: Ellen Arkbro, Kali Malone, Laurie Spiegel, Caterina Barbieri, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith with Suzanne Ciani and Eliane Radigue.
Durée : 00:28:29Date : mardi 18 juin 2019Que retient-on vraiment de l'avènement de la musique électronique ? Dans la droite lignée de son engagement artistique et de ses projets musicaux, l'homme derrière le label Kwaidan et les groupes Nouvelle Vague, Bristol et Ollano, Marc Collin, revient à sa première aspiration, le cinéma. Avec Le Choc du Futur, il séquence en l'espace d'une heure et dix-sept minutes, les forts doutes et les quelques succès d'une compositrice déterminée à vaincre la mysoginie du milieu musical et à faire vaincre un genre musical que personne au sein de l'industrie ne veut entendre. En créant le personnage d'Ana Klimova, interpreté par Alma Jodorowsky, Marc Collin cherche à rendre hommage aux Eliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani et consorts, ces femmes pionnières de l'expérimentation de l'électro et voulant dépasser les codes de la musique concrète.Le Choc du Futur fait aussi une grande place à l'aspect technique, à ces lourdes machines, ces synthés modulaires difficiles d'accès sans quoi rien ne pouvait être créé. En tout cela, ce film qui se veut réaliste a tout d'une pièce historique à consulter pour mieux comprendre cette époque synonyme de carrefour vers bien des genres et sous-genres musicaux faisant aujourd'hui le bonheur du public.

One of the catalysts to the composition on my new album Époques was a 2 weeks retreat in Suffolk last year, the change of environment and soundscape, away from inner city manmade noises. Many of the pieces featured in this mix were inspired by nature in an abstract or descriptive way. It is easy to sense the heatherlands, rivers and other natural phenomena at the source of the music. Starting with what has now become a classic, John Cage's In A Landscape, and followed by Dario Marianelli's cue from the movie Jane Eyre, both for its romantic expressive beauty, but also for its relationship to the writings of the Brontë sisters, for whom open landscapes and moorlands were such an important source of inspiration, the mix meanders through richly layered works by composers such as Eliane Radigue, Richard Skelton and Claire M Singer. I would suggest listening to this music while on a walk in the countryside or seaside, keeping the volume gentle enough for the sounds of your environment to come in and blend with the drones or act as a counterpoint to Hans Otte‘s Book of Sounds.

Surgeon remains one of electronic music's most consistently thrilling performers. Hugely influential in techno circles since the mid nineties, his productions and DJ mixes point to constant evolution in his sound and a steady absorption of new influences. Last year's Breaking the Frame, his first album in over ten years, struck a curveball at all those anticipating a pummelling set of textured techno tracks, instead distilling some of his listening habits of recent years — the likes of Alice Coltrane, Eliane Radigue and La Monte Young — into a very personal document, one that searched for, as he put it, 'the deep spiritual essence that lay behind the surface structures of their individual music'. This set was recorded in October 2011 in London, when Surgeon performed as the mystery guest at a showcase night for the Blackest Ever Black label. Given Blackest Ever’s brooding trajectory, the event’s line-up struck a suitably shadowy tone, featuring label mainstays Raime, William Bennett's formidable Cut Hands project, and long-time Surgeon collaborator Regis (with whom Surgeon performed a surprise closing set under their British Murder Boys guise). As Surgeon himself said, there was a rather strange, tense atmosphere in the club throughout the evening, due no doubt to hosting a bill of such intensely disturbed music in the heart of London's hip Shoreditch, and this tension probably comes across on this recording from the night. This is the last set to be hosted on Spannered for the foreseeable future. Many thanks to Tony for passing the recording to us and for giving his support to the site since day one.

"Mantra of Walls and Wiring" is the first of a set of three one hour mixes created in 2005. The other two are "The Hum in the Room" and "Acoustical Illusion" (will follow later). As you can read from the titles, these mixes thematically deal with the sound you can hear in your living environment; the 'everyday hum' surrounding you. I got inspired for this theme when I listened to a slowly fading ambient-cd...and finally realised the cd had already stopped for quite a while and I was obviously listening to (and enjoying) the hum of my own refrigerator! Since then the household environmental sounds do not disturb me anymore...they became part of the music I'm playing. Starting point of these programs is the text Paul Simon wrote for Philip Glass's 'Changing Opinion' ('Songs from Liquid Days'), featured here in an extremely 'deconstructed' version (full text below). Compared to the previous mixes these mixes are less accessible for listeners not used to 'ambient drone music'. These are the most 'minimal' mixes, containing some very strange combinations: the David Darling recording with the Wulu Bunun for example (which may give the feeling you are lifted into the sky) flowing into the sound of eternal rest of Eliane Radigue, followed by Herbert's sound of home-cooking bringing you back to your own private home. As in all mixes, there are some dark and tense parts. This is not meant to be 'new age happiness' at all. But in fact its serene timelessness never fails to amaze me. --- originally published on Ambientblog --- PLAYLIST: Philips Cellulite Remover- private collectionEvil Jon - fc4004- Wein, Weib und Gesang, 2004, Kikapu KPU 072Philip Glass - Changing Opinion (deconstructed)- Music from Liquid Days, 1986, CBS DIDC 10217Stephen Phillips - Drone 2- Drone Download Project 2003Scanner - Spyder- X-Rated, the Electronic Files, 2002, Boudisque BOU 8Sleep Research Facility - Nostromo – A Deck- Nostromo, 2001, Cold Spring csr34cdAlp Fridge - Freezer- At home with Alp, 1999, Soleilmoon 01863Igneous Flame - Cyclical- unreleased, 2004Arve Henriksen - Breathing- Sakuteiki, 2001, Rune Grammofon 2021Alan Howarth - Sailing Ship Creaks- Real Hollywood Sound Effects, 1997, GNP crescendo 8054Annette van de Gorne - Terre- Storm of Drones, 1996, Asphodel 966Christopher Hobbs - McGrimmon will never return- Ensemble Pieces, 1975, Obscure OBS2Austere - Whainer- Drone Download Project 2003Stars of the Lid - Down 3- The Tired Sounds of, 2001, Kranky KRANK 050Alvin Lucier - Music on a long thin wire- Ohm, the Electric Gurus of Electronic Music 2000, Ellipsis CD3270Darrin Verhagen - As X-rays- Black Frost, 2004, Dorobo 020Rumble, low frequency- private collectionArno Peeters - The Clothing Room Sphere- private collectionArno Peeters - Shaftsphere- private collectionSleep Research Facility - Dead Weather Machine- Dead Weather Machine, 2004, manifold MANCD042Johann Johannson - Virgulegu Forsetar, second movement- Virgulegu Forsetar, 2004, Touch TO:64Richard Bone - Stillness Repeating- Ambienism, 2004, Spiralight RecordingsGrandma's Fussbuster - How Dry I Am / Rub-a-dub-dub, I can't believe it's a tub- Grandma's Fussbuster, CDBABY, 1996Boyd Rice (Non) - Extract 12- Terra Incognita, 2004, Mute Records 9256David Darling & the Wulu Bunun - Pasibutbut (Prayer for a rich millet harvest)- Mudanin Kata, 2004, Riverboat, TUGCD 1032Eliane Radigue - Kailasha- Trilogie de la Mort, 1998, XI records, XI 119Herbert - In the Kitchen- Around the House, 2002, !K7, !K7105CDAlp - Microwave Oven / Electric Oven / Pan of Boiling Water- At home with Alp, 1999, Soleilmoon 01863
