Episode 143 Chapter 05, The Physics of Musical Sound. 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 01:28 00:00 John Cage, “Cartridge Music” (1960). Uses phono cartridges to amplify small sounds. 19:57 01:30 Robert Ashley, “The Wolfman” (1964). Uses a mike inside of the vocal cavity as a feedback and distortion chamber for audio that is highly amplified. 15:27 21:26 Beaver and Krause, “Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music” (1968). Two complete albums of examples from this landmark album. Includes examples of synthesis and principles using the Moog Modular synthesizer. The first track is a composition called “Peace Three” that is repeated as the final track of the album; in this case I only play it once at the end of the album. See the image below for a scan of the album's title sequence. 45:16 37:00 Steve Reich, “Pendulum Music” (1968). Manipulates the feedback properties of a microphone swinging over a loudspeaker. 05:54 01:22:16 David Tudor, “Toneburst” (1975). Incorporates an internal feedback loop where Tudor fed the output of his handbuilt instruments into other. Partly analog, partly digital. 29:19 01:28:06 Jason Kahn, Toshimaru Nakamura, “Track 1” from Repeat (1999). No-input feedback, which is basically a feedback loop produced without external (acoustic) input. All digital. 08:02 01:57:26 Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Associate Artist Jennifer Walshe presents her project Aisteach, the fictional Avant-Garde Archive of Ireland. Recorded during the 2018 edition of Sonic Acts Academy, Amsterdam where Walche was performing and screening the film An Gléacht alongside Mario de Vega. Historical Documents of the Irish Avant-Garde is a fictional history of the musical avant-garde in Ireland which spans 187 years, and is housed at aisteach.org, the website of the Aisteach Foundation, a fictional organisation which purports to be ”The Avant-Garde Archive of Ireland.” For the project, Walshe engaged a huge team of collaborators and created compositions, recordings, scores, articles and ephemera. An Gléacht Outsider artist Caoimhín Breathnach (1934–2009) lived as a recluse in the Irish village of Knockvicar for all of his life. Breathnach’s artistic practice focussed on the creation of ‘subliminal’ tapes and films, which he believed possessed the capacity to shift consciousness. In these works, Ogham magickal scales, crystallography, astronomy, folklore, and natural phenomena are combined with found audio and visual material to produce an idiosyncratic and esoteric system of correspondences. Breathnach spent the last years of his life planning a film called An Gléacht. The work was to combine subliminal tapes and films with filmed footage showing a sequence of occult rituals at sites in Ireland ranging from the Hellmouth door in the Caves of Kesh to the Tobernalt holy well. In 2015, the Cork Film Festival commissioned Jennifer Walshe – Breathnach’s great-niece – to complete An Gléacht. The film has been shown worldwide with live musical accompaniment from musicians, including Okkyung Lee, David Grubbs, Toshimaru Nakamura, Martin Taxt, George Lewis, Roscoe Mitchell, Chris Heenan, Tomomi Adachi and more.
