Episode 166 Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70). 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. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 26, Early Computer Music (1950–70). from my book Electronic and Experimental music. Playlist: EARLY COMPUTER MUSIC (1950–70) Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:40 00:00 1. Tones from Australia, 1951. All produced using the CSIR Mark 1 computer built at the CSIR's radio-physics division in Sydney. The computer had a speaker—or hooter—to signal when operations were completed. A clever programmer thought of manipulating the signal tones into a melody. 02:18 01:42 2. Alan Turing's computer music. 1951. Recording made of tones generated by the mainframe computer at the Computing Machine Laboratory in Manchester, England. Snippets of the tunes God Save the King, Baa, Baa Black Sheep, and Glenn Miller's swing classic In the Mood. Plus, the voices of computer lab members listening to the sound as it was recorded. Original acetate recording from 1951 restored by University of Canterbury composer Jason Long and Prof Jack Copeland. 01:55 02:36 3. Max Mathews, “Numerology” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. While working at Bell Labs in telecommunications research, Max Mathews was one of the earliest computer engineers to use a general-purpose computer to program music and digitally synthesize musical sound. His programming language Music I allowed composers to design their own virtual instruments, a breakthrough during those pioneering days of computer music. “Numerology” was composed to demonstrate the various parameters, or building blocks, available to the composer using this programming language: vibrato (frequency modulation), attack and decay characteristics, glissando, tremolo (amplitude modulation), and the creation of new waveshapes. 02:49 04:38 4. John Robinson Pierce, “Beat Canon” (1960). Introduced by a narrator. From the album Music From Mathematics, Bell Telephone Laboratories. Played by IBM computer and direct to digital sound transducer. 00:52 07:28 5. James Tenney, “Noise Study” (1961). So named because “each of the ‘instruments' used in this piece includes a noise-generator.” 04:24 08:20 6. “Bicycle Built For Two (Accompanied)” (1963) From the demonstration record Computer Speech - Hee Saw Dhuh Kaet (He Saw The Cat), produced by Bell Laboratories. This recording contains samples of synthesized speech–speech artificially constructed from the basic building blocks of the English language. 01:17 12:42 7. Lejaren Hiller, “Computer Cantata, Prologue to Strophe III” (1963). From the University Of Illinois. This work employed direct computer synthesis using an IBM 7094 mainframe computer and the Musicomp programming language. 05:41 14:00 8. J. K. Randall, “Lyric Variations For Violin And Computer” (1965-1968). J. K. Randall's piece had a complex section that pushed the limits of computer processing power at the time. Although the section consisted of only 12 notes, each note was 20 seconds long. Each note overlapped with the next for 10 seconds, making the total length of the section only about 2 minutes. But this required 9 hours to process on one of the fastest computers of the day. 03:34 19:40 9. John Robinson Pierce, “Eight-Tone Canon” (1966). “Using the computer, one can produce tones with overtones at any frequencies.” Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 23:14 10. Pietro Grossi, “Mixed Paganini” (1967). “Transcription for the central processor unit of a GE-115 computer of short excerpts of Paganini music scores. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). 01:46 27:08 11. Pietro Grossi, “Permutation of Five Sounds” (1967). Recording made on the Italian General Electric label. Realized at Studio di Fonologia musicale di Firenze (Italy). Distributed in 1967 as a New year gift by Olivetti company. 01:33 28:54 12. Wayne Slawson, “Wishful Thinking About Winter” (1970). Produced at Bell Telephone Laboratories. 03:53 30:26 13. John Cage and Lejaren Hiller, “HPSCHD” excerpt (1967-1969). The piece was written for Harpsichords and Computer-Generated Sound Tapes. Hiller and Cage staged a lively public performance in 1968 at the University of Illinois in Urbana. The first 10,000 individual recordings came with an insert in the form of a computer printout insert designed to allow the listener to program their own performance. And I quote from the jacket: "The computer-output sheet included in this album is one of 10,000 different numbered solutions of the program KNOBS. It enables the listener who follows its instructions to become a performer of this recording of HPSCHD. Preparation of this material was made possible through the Computing Center of the State University of New York at Buffalo." I happen to have three copies of this album, each with the printout. 07:20 34:16 14. Jean-Claude Risset, “Computer Suite From "Little Boy" (1968). Realized at Bell Laboratories. 04:28 41:46 15. Peter Zinovieff, “January Tensions” (1968). Zinovieff's notes, from the album: “Computer composed and performed. This piece is very much for computer both in its realization and composition. The rules are straightforward. The computer may begin by improvising slowly on whatever material is first chooses. However, once the initial choices are made then these must influence the whole of the rest of the composition. The original sounds must occasionally be remembered and illustrated but a more and more rigid structure is imposed on the randomness. The piece was electronically realized and composed in real time by an 8K PDP8/S and electronic music peripherals.” 09:48 46:12 16. Barry Vercoe, “Synthesism” (1969). Realized in the Computer Centers of Columbia and Princeton Universities using MUSIC 360 for the IBM 360 mainframe computer. Vercoe authored this musical programming language. 04:33 56:00 17. Charles Dodge, “The Earth's Magnetic Field” excerpt (1970). Composer Charles Dodge helped close the gap between computer music and other electronic music practices in 1969– 70 by working on computer code at Princeton University and then traveling to Bell Labs to have the code synthesized by a mainframe computer. The work, “Earth's Magnetic Field” (1970) was an outcome of this process. Dodge realized this piece by fusing computer composition with synthesis, one of the earliest examples of a practice that would become the norm many years later but that was quite difficult at the time. He used a “general- purpose sound synthesis program” written by Godfrey Winham at Princeton University. Every sound in the piece was computed into digital form using the IBM/ 360 model 91 at the Columbia University Computer Center and then converted into analog form at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. 07:45 01:00:32 18. Irv Teibel, "Tintinnabulation (Contemplative Sound)" from Environments (New Concepts In Stereo Sound) (Disc 2) (1970 Syntonic Research). One side of the record is a rare work of purely electronic computer music in a series that otherwise consisted of natural ambient sounds. It used computer-generated bell sounds, falling back on Teibel's experience processing sounds on an IBM 360 mainframe computer at Bell Labs. The record was promoted for meditation. A sticker on the cover read, "A Sensitizer for the Mind." From the liner notes: “As an illustration of the possibilities currently under examination, Syntonic Research decided to experiment with bell sounds as an environmental sound source. . . . Tintinnabulation can be played at any speed, from 78 to 16 rpm, in full stereo. At different speeds, the sounds change in tone and apparent size, although the harmonics remain unchanged. The effect, unlike real bells, is fully controllable by the use of your volume, bass, and treble controls.” 30:10 01:08:16 Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Daria Semegen's chamber, orchestral, vocal and electronic music with dance and film tends toward the experimental. Her first score for instruments and musique concrète tape is from 1965, followed by tour de force electronic music works she crafted with classic analog studio techniques. Her work was featured in articles, books and in E. Hinkle-Turner's 1991 doctoral dissertation at Univ. of Illinois. In 1995 her music was the subject of an international seminar at King's College, Univ. of London. Semegen was honored along with digital music trailblazers Jean-Claude Risset and John Chowning at an international electroacoustic music conference in 2015. Alt-music's Forced Exposure called her electronic works “heterodyning stereo-heavy monsters as vital as any of the GRM/STEIM/SECAM Darmstadt output.” Critic DJ Spooky wrote, “the dynamic range of sounds is absolutely refreshing, flying in the face of what's been going on in contemporary music culture.” Music: Vignette by Daria Semegen, performed by Cathy Callis Recording of Arc, by Daria Semegen website Co-hosts: Joseph Bohigian and Niloufar Nourbakhsh Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. ensembledecipher.com Contact us at decipherists@ensembledecipher.com.

Episode 41 Sounds for Museums Sound Art to Accompany Exhibits Playlist François Baschet, Bernard Baschet, and Jacques Lasry, “Sonatine (3 Mouvements)” from Structures for Sound (1965 BAM). The exhibition 'Structures For Sound-Musical Instruments' by François and Bernard Baschet was shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, from October 4 to December 5, 1965. Although not heard in the exhibit, this set of compositions was co-marketed by the museum and BAM and clearly intended as a takeaway souvenir. The recordings were made in France, and released there as Les Structures Sonores Lasry-Baschet, then repackaged for the US market and exhibit. The piece was written by Jacques Lasry. Various Artists, Art By Telephone (1969 Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago). Artists were asked to phone-in instructions for a work of art to be exhibited at Art by Telephone, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The museum released a recording of the phone calls and sold it at the exhibit. Here are four excerpts by John Giorno, Dick Higgins, Sol Lewitt, Richard Serra, and Jack Burnham. In total, 38 artists provided instructions that were included on the album. Audio Arts: Volume 3 No 4 Side A (1977 Audio Arts). Excerpts from a radio work by John Carson broadcast by Downtown Radio, Belfast in 1977. The program was a compilation of recordings made in June 1977 at Documenta VI, an international exhibition of contemporary art in Kassel, West Germany. We hear two excerpts, the first from artist Wolf Vostell which opens with the sound of bubbling water and the second a sound work by Achim Freyer. These audio works played in the exhibit. Other portions of the complete cassette recordings alternated between statements/interviews and sound environments/installations. Audio Arts was a magazine in continuous publication for 33 years and ran to 24 volumes, each of four issues. Various artists, from Sound (1979 Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art). Four of the tracks from this collection are included: Terry Fox, “Labyrinth Scored For II Cats” (1979); Jim Gordon, “Piece For Synthesizers, Computers And Other Instruments” (1979); Doug Hollis, “Aeolian Harp” (1975-76), composed 1975-76 at the San Francisco Exploratorium; Bill Fontana, “Kirribilli Wharf” (1979). Album produced for SOUND. An exhibition of sound sculpture, instrument building and acoustically tuned spaces. Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art July 14-August 31, 1979. P.S.I. New York, September 30-November 18, 1979. Jeff Gordon, “Everyone's An Artist” (1984). Vocal Jeff Gordon and Mug Maruyama; Programming, Graham Hawthorne; Emulators/Keyboards, Jeff Gordon. Gordon produced Revolutions Per Minute (The Art Record), a collection of audio tracks by artists released as a double LP. This track by Gordon was not included in that release but I think was used for a traveling exhibition featuring sound, The RPM Touring Exhibitions, designed by Gordon and his wife Juanita, that toured the US and Europe for over four years, including The Tate Museum in London. Laurie Anderson, “The telephone,” “The polaroid,” “The sheet,” “The wedding dress,” “The bathrobe” from La Visite Guidée (1994). Music: Laurie Anderson; Voice: Sophie Calle. Exhibition catalogue consisting of artist's book and Audio CD published in conjunction with the show held March 27- 29, 1994. The work consisted of a total of 21 short compositions. We hear five consecutive tracks from the collection. This audio was provided on a cassette for the exhibit, which visitor's played on a Sony Walkman while taking a guided tour of the Sophie Calle's exhibition Absent. Steven Vitiello. World Trade Center Recordings: Open House Bounce (1999). A recording from the 91st floor of the World Trade Center, Tower One made with contact microphones placed on the inside of the windows. This recording was only published as part of a CDR sold at an Open House Exhibition in the fall of 1999. Various recordings were made during a 6-month residency. This one in particular picked up a number of passing planes and helicopters. Various artists, Whitney Biennial 2002 (2002 Whitney Museum Of American Art). A CD was included with the 292-page hardcover catalogue "Whitney Biennial 2002" published for the same-titled exhibition at the Whitney Museum Of American Art, March 7-May 26, 2002.

Guilherme Carvalho est Maître de conférences dans le département de musique et musicologie de l'université Paul Valéry de Montpellier. La musique est tellement présente dans notre vie de tous les jours qu'on en vient à oublier qu'elle ne sort pas par magie des écouteurs. Nous discutons dans cet épisode des implications qu'ont eu les nouvelles technologies de l'information dans ce domaine. De la production de sons impossibles à réaliser naturellement à la consommation de masse en passant par la diffusion directe entre les créateurs et leur public ce sont tous les aspects de la musique qui ont été impacté d'une manière ou d'une autre. Voici quelques liens pour illustrer certains points abordés lors de la discussion: . des reprises et collages "par écrit": Luciano Berio, Sinfonia (1968), 3e mouvement . des enregistrements comme matière sonore: Bernard Parmegiani, Du pop à l'âne (1969) . de manière plus radicale, et en soulevant exprès la question des droits d'auteurs: John Oswald, Dab de l'album Plunderphonics (1989) . une pièce entièrement composée par un ordinateur: Invention (after Bach), partie des Experiments in Musical Intelligence de David Cope. . Gérard Assayag et Georges Bloch, de l'Ircam, parlent du logiciel OMax, qui improvise avec des musiciens. . une pièce très fortement formalisée et calculée par ordinateur, mais pas entièrement: Julien Bilodeau, A coups (2004) . l'un des premiers exemples de son entièrement numérique, en 1961: IBM 7094 joue et chante Daisy Bell. (C'est le premier ordinateur qui a chanté; la célèbre scène de 2001 où HAL est progressivement éteint fait référence justement à cette prouesse technique, encore très récente à l'époque.) . des glissandos continus dans le 2e mouvement (Fall) de Computer Suite for Little Boy (1968) de Jean-Claude Risset. . un accéléré continu, aussi de Risset. Quelques-unes des propres pièces de G. Carvalho (dont plusieurs ont été composées avec l'assistance d'un ordinateur) sont présentes sur sa page soundcloud.
Iniciamos aquí una nueva serie de programas, titulada “A la escucha del virus”, en la que intentaremos acompañarles mientras atravesamos esta situación, tan excepcional, generada por la pandemia que actualmente nos afecta a todos. La propuesta consiste, básicamente, en escuchar ciertas obras sonoras desde el novedoso marco -conceptual, pero también existencial- que estas terribles circunstancias representan. Quizás una interpretación renovada de esos trabajos pueda ayudarnos, en alguna medida, a entender mejor los diferentes procesos, de muy distinto orden, que todos estamos llamados a atravesar en estos días extraños. Comenzamos esta serie planteando una exploración radiofónica del concepto de virus, (des)orientados por la poética del escritor estadounidense William S. Burroughs (1914-1917). Además de algunos de sus "cut-ups", escuchamos obras que le fueron dedicadas, como "Rag for William Burroughs", del dúo MATMOS (formado por Martin Schmidt y Drew Daniel), "Language is a virus", de Laurie Anderson y "La muerte de William Burroughs", de John Giorno. En la segunda mitad del programa presentamos otra serie de trabajos -más bien vinculados al dominio de la creación electroacústica- que también pueden ser escuchados a partir de la metáfora vírica. Es el caso de la obra titulada "Living Structures", del compositor sueco Peter Lundén, "Half Life", de Curtis Roads (quien, como Lundén, emplea en sus composiciones técnicas de síntesis granular) o "Mutations", de Jean-Claude Risset. Finalmente escuchamos dos piezas extraídas de una recopilación recientemente coordinada por el murciano Sergio Sánchez dentro de su netlabel República Ibérica Ruidista, que lleva por título "Confinescapes" y que reúne "ideas, sensaciones, y discursos sobre la reclusión". Ofrecemos dos de las piezas incluidas en esta antología: “Pandemia”, una composición firmada por Mary X (uno de los pseudónimos del propio Sergio Sánchez) y "Retroviral Drones", de Erizonte (Julián Sanz). Acompañamos todas estas audiciones de algunas citas textuales extraídas del primer capítulo (titulado "La voz límite como voz vírica") de "La voz límite. Una aproximación estética a la vocalidad teratológica desde el arte sonoro", tesis doctoral de Miguel Álvarez-Fernández (accesible gratuitamente en Internet). Escuchar audio
Depuis une semaine on parle du travail dans Récréation Sonore et ça va continuer jusqu’au 16 février. En marge, on fera deux tours par le Conservatoire de Pantin et on écoutera les deux premiers épisodes d’une série consacrée à la création documentaire… Des facteurs d’instruments et des agriculteurs Dimanche 9 février. Ce soir on part d’abord à la rencontre d’artisans : « Les facteurs / passeurs d’instrument » est un documentaire qui nous fait rencontrer plusieurs fabricants de flûtes. Musiciennes de formation, c’est pendant leurs études en réalisation documentaire à l’INA que Phane Montet et Alice Boccara ont eu l’idée de ce documentaire – qui devrait bientôt donner une série – afin, comme elles l’expliquent, d’”entendre les instruments d’une autre manière”. On va ensuite en Charente, avec Ambroise Cousin, étudiant au Créadoc, qui s’est intéressé à une famille d’agriculteurs avec, en ligne de mire, la transmission d’une exploitation d’une génération à l’autre. On suit Mathieu, qui s’apprête à succéder à son père à la tête de la ferme familiale. Ambroise Cousin a voulu raconter un quotidien et “pour cela, nous explique-t-il, il faut vivre avec les gens, il faut le vivre pour pouvoir le raconter”. Donc on cherche à retrouver des litres d’alcool perdu, on prend des conseils en matière de semis, on choisit un herbicide, on cherche une recette de boudin et on trinque, enfin, au cochon qui vient d’être tué et cuisiné. “Le Temps qu’il faut”, c’est notre long métrage de ce soir. Pour tout savoir de la création sonore On continue avec le premier épisode d’une série consacrée à la création documentaire : c’est le Collectif Lundi Soir qui vous propose, en six épisodes (dans chaque émission jusqu’à fin mars) de tout apprendre sur cet univers. Conservatoire de Pantin #1 Enfin, on conclut cette émission avec le studio d’électroacoustique du conservatoire de Pantin : à l’origine, le morceau que nous écoutons ce soir devait être diffusé le 8 mars, dans notre cycle intitulé “ce qui se cache sous”… nous l’écoutons finalement ce soir, et c’est un hommage au compositeur Jean-Claude Risset signé Grégoire Terrier. Et on retrouvera, la semaine prochaine, le conservatoire de Pantin, pour une nouvelle œuvre d’un élève de la promotion en cours… La semaine prochaine, on reste ensemble et je vous emmènerai dans le Morvan, à Paris et à Londres, dans le tiroir de Léa Minod, la laboratoire de Muriel KS et le grenier de John Lennon.

"In 1913 Futurist Luigi Russolo developed several noise machines, which he named ‘intonarumori’. In his manifesto, The Art of Noise, Russolo argued that musical instruments could no longer satisfy man's thirst for sounds. Almost 100 years later, people are still exploring the possibilities of sound. This is what I tried to capture in this mix - testing the limits of sound, from shrieking highs to almost imperceptible lows, finding new ways of interpreting and portraying life through the medium of sound. Despite including over 100 artists, the mix by no means represents a completist viewpoint; so many perhaps important artists in the development of 'noise' were left out. It was not my intention to do a 'who's who' of noise music, but rather to show how the exploration of sound has developed over time and how fascinating these explorations are. I did at times take into account the historical significance of the piece/artist when choosing tracks, although I was steered mainly by what was sonically interesting to me. Well that's it - the mix should speak for itself. If you are interested in digging deeper please follow the links provided. Listen at maximum volume and enjoy."
