Episode 176 Chapter 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices. 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 35, Live Electronic Music— Historical Practices from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: LIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC—HISTORICAL PRACTICES   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:34 00:00 1.     Karlheinz Stockhausen, “Mikrophonie I” (1964) from Mikrophonie I · Mikrophonie II.   Mikrophonist 1, Johannes Fritsch; Mikrophonist 2, Harald Bojé; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 1, Karlheinz Stockhausen; Electronic Filters and Potentiometers 2, Hugh Davies, Jaap Spek; Tam-tam, Aloys Kontarsky; Tam-tam, Fred Alings.  Brüsseler Version 1965 recorded at WDR, Cologne. 07:24 01:42 2.     AMM, “In The Realm Of Nothing Whatever” (1966) from AMMMusic 1966.

Fritsch. This is the opening of this long work, excerpted for this strange collection of greatest “hits” by Stockhausen (you had to be in 1970 to understand this). Kurzwellen is a piece where the musicians need to improvise and react to signals they receive on randomly tuned shortwave radios. This is from the Cologne recording made in the Rhenus studio in Godorf for the Cologne Radio (WDR, Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) on the 8th and 9th of April 1969 (53'30), which was record 2 of the original 2-record set. By the way, this ensemble also featured the Electronium Pi, made by Hohner beginning in 1952. It was a monophonic, electronic keyboard instrument and was an add-on instrument for the piano mounted under the keyboard, which is the model used by Stockhausen. His keyboardist, while Harald Bojé used the accordion-like model. 06:19 01:14:56 6.     The Music Improvisation Company, “Tuck” (1970) from The Music Improvisation Company. Electric Guitar, Derek Bailey; Live Electronics, Hugh Davies; Percussion, Jamie Muir; Soprano Saxophone, Evan Parker. 03:00 01:21:14 7.     David Tudor, “Rainforest IV” (1973) from Rainforest IV.  Composed in 1973 by David Tudor; performed by Composers Inside Electronics (David Tudor, Martin Kalve, Philip Edelstein, Ralph Jones, Bill Viola, John Driscoll). Recorded at the exhibition "Für Augen und Ohren - Von der Spieluhr zum akustischen (Environment (For eyes and ears - from the mechanical clock to the acoustic environment)" at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, January 1980. 25:12 01:24:24 8.     Maryanne Amacher, “"Head Rhythm 1" And "Plaything 2" (1999) from Sound Characters (Making The Third Ear). Electroacoustic composer of sound installations, best known for her incorporation of otoacoustic emissions -- sounds that seem to be emanating from inside one's own head. This track plays with that concept and sets your brain up to experience itself, so to speak. 10:04 01:49:36 9.     Caroline Park, “Grain 5” (2011) from Grain. This is a cassette release by Park, often known her for generative composition work and electronic improvisations based on parameters that she defines. Recorded, performed by Caroline Park. 09:05 01:59:32 10.   Caterina Barbieri. “This Causes Consciousness To Fracture” (2017) from Patterns Of Consciousness.  Italian composer and musician from Bologna. This album was created using analog synthesis. Barbieri has said, “In Patterns of Consciousness I was interested in exploring the power of sound on our consciousness. I wanted to explore how a pattern creates a certain state of consciousness and how the gradual transformation of that pattern can affect that state of consciousness. I believe that sound is a tool for the exploration, reconfiguration and expansion of human perceptions.” I find this to be in a similar psychological vein as the Amacher work also heard in this episode. 22:44 02:08:36 11.   Sarah Davachi, “First Cadence” (2021) from Antiphonals. Composed, recorded, performed, Mellotron (bass flute, recorder, oboe), Tape Echo, Sarah Davachi. 05:48 02:31:20 12.   Asha Tamirisa, “Live Performance,”(2023) at the Waterworks 2023: Festival of Experimental Sound.

I apologize for adding yet another DeepSeek video to your video queue. During a trip to Tokyo last year, I was told that DeepSeek was the real deal. A cracked team, and perhaps the only ones of significance in China. Since then, I have annoyed the guys on Transistor Radio - our podcast with Dylan Patel and Doug O'Laughlin - into talking about it. Though there was nothing much to be said. In December 2024, DeepSeek released their V3 base model, which had impressive efficiency. A few people in AI were impressed. Then on January 22nd 2025, DeepSeek released their reasoning model, R1, which works kind of like OpenAI's o1 and o3 models. It takes extra compute time to "think" up a better answer. R1's release kicked everything off. The next day, the New York Times published an article on it, but focused mostly on the earlier V3's training costs.

Bob Costas had a meteoric rise in broadcasting, from Syracuse University to KMOX Radio in St. Louis to the networks. But before Costas was a fixture on our televisions, he announced minor league hockey, ABA basketball and even was a substitute host on "Bowling for Dollars" in Syracuse.  In part one of our conversation with Bob Costas, growing up on Long Island as a sports crazed kid, listening to out of town games on the car radio, the advice he got from the high school baseball coach who cut him, opportunities while he was a student at Syracuse University and then off to St. Louis and shortly thereafter the network.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bill Handel does some Handel History on the origins of the transistor radio, and how Vin Scully made it bigger than it ever would've been without him. New brands and sizes are being introduced by snack and deodorant makers to target cost-conscious shoppers. And Dean Sharp joins the show for this week's edition of Handel and The House Whisperer, where he and Handel talk about mosquitoes!

Die magische 65. Folge steht an und schon wieder ist alles anders gedacht. Diesmal schert Frank Tonmann (Tonmann) aus dem üblichen Mittagskabuffaufnahmeritual aus und befindet sich versehentlich auf geheimer Mission im Saarland. Aus einem kleinen Motel ist Frank via Transistor-Radio zugeschaltet und klingt als spräche er durch eine alte Zigarettenschachtel. Das verhindert aber nicht den gewohnt bunten Strauß an Themen, die die ein oder andere Kinnrunterklappung verursachen werden. Denn wer konnte ahnen, dass Frank neben Wikipedia-Rüpel Hyperdieter noch einen anderen Erzfeind hat? Oder dass Basti in einem piekfeinen Restaurant wie ein Arschsack behandelt wurde? Oder dass Thomas Cool ein geborenes Glückskind ist? Aha - Einschalten ist also wie immer obligatorisch. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

George Nussbaumer vertrat Österreich beim Eurovision Song Contest 1996 mit "Weil's dr guat got" und erreichte mit den Vorarlbergerisch gesungenen Song in Oslo den 10. Platz. Er erinnert sich an seinen Auftritt, wie der Song wortspielerisch entstand und was er danach machte - auch über sein aktuelles Album "Did Anybody Say It Would Be Easy".Doch zuerst die News.Die Vorbereitungen für 2022 laufen an: San Marino möchte eine große Show geplant: "Una voce per San Marino" soll den Beitrag für den Song Contest in jener italienischen Stadt bringen, deren Namen wir zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme der Episode noch nicht wissen. Auch Irland sucht, und zwar im Rahmen der "Late Late Show". Zypern wird im Zusammenarbeit mit Panik-Records erst für 2023 suchen - somit haben wir das erste bestätigte Teilnehmer-Land für 2023. Für Belgien wird Jérémie Makiese antreten, soviel ist bereits bekannt. Und er versucht, seine beiden Leidenschaften unter einen Hut zu bringen, hat er doch gerade erst ein Profi-Fußballer-Karriere beim belgischen Zweitligisten "Excelsior Virton" gestartet.Der kommende ORF-Generaldirektor Roland Weißmann hat seine neuen Fernsehdirektoren präsentiert. Die neue Programmdirektorin ist Stefanie Groiß-Horowitz und sie war Head of Delegation beim Eurovision in Wien 2015, bevor sie zu Puls 4 wechselte und dort Puls24 aufbaute.  Bei Eurovision Again ist für ein paar wenige Wochen der Song Contest 1968 zu sehen. Hat es Cliff Richard diesmal geschafft? Schnell anschauen, bevor es wieder verschwindet. Auf Netflix läuft die Serie "Louis Miguel" über den gleichnamigen mexikanischen Superstar in der dritten Staffel an. Gleich in der ersten Folge dieser Staffel ist Jade Ewen zu sehen, die Mariah Carey verkörpert. Wir erinnern uns: Jade hat mit der Andrew Lloyd-Webber-Ballade "It's My Time" im Jahr 2009 beim Eurovision Song Contest in Moskau einen sensationellen fünften Platz ersungen.Conchita Wurst hat einen neuen Song am Start: "Bodymorphia" ist einer der beiden Songs, der speziell für die Show "Arise" im Berliner Friedrichstadtpalast aufgenommen worden ist.Aber auch sonst gibt es im Herbst Neuerscheinungen: Sarit Hadad, Melovin, Lordi und Il Volo - sie alle haben neues am Start.Ein paar Alben hat unser Gast aus Vorarlberg schon veröffentlicht, das letzte erst im Frühjahr.Angefangen hat die Liebe zur Musik für den 1963 in Dornbirn geborenen George Nussbaumer mit der Liebe zum Radio. Bereits als kleines Kind hat er ein Transistor-Radio geschenkt bekommen und es, wie auch viele andere Radios später auch, zu viel geliebt, so dass es nicht lang überlebte. Im Internat hat er, anfangs nicht ganz mit dem erhofften Erfolg, Klavier gelernt. Aber er hat weiter gemacht und mit 16 hat er das erste Engagement in einer professionellen Blues-Band zu spielen. Auch das brachte nicht ganz den erhofften Erfolg, da er damals nach eigenem Bekunden keine Ahnung von Blues hatte.Mit ersten eigenen Blues-Band gings dann weiter. Eine Talentshow im ORF führte über Umwege zur ersten eigenen Single. Über weitere Umwege traf George Nussbaumer den Wiener Star-Produzenten Mischa Krausz, mit dem eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit (auch über amüsante Umwege) schlussendlich zum österreichischen Beitrag für den Song Contest 1996 geführt hat. In diesem Rahmen hat der ORF auch eine kleine Doku über Nussbaumer gesendet."Weil's dr guat got" erreichte einen sehr guten 10. Platz beim Song Contest in Oslo, ein großer Markt allerdings brach weg, denn Deutschland durfte nicht teilnehmen, die ARD strahlte den Song Contest deswegen auch erst spät in ihren Dritten Programmen aus. George erzählt auch, wie er die Stadt erlebt hat und wie er Morten Harket getroffen hat. Der Sänger der Kult-Truppe A-ha war einer der Moderatoren des Song Contests in seiner norwegischen Heimat.Und er erzählt von seinem Gospel-Chor, der unter anderem aus Stella Jones, Bettina Soriat und Cedrik Lee Bradley. Und dem Hoppala während der Show.George erzählt auch von der Position nach Eurovision, eine durchaus schwierige Zeit, wie er heute sagt. Aber auch, dass diese Zeit ein Befreiungsschlag war. Er ist seit dem sehr viel live zu sehen gewesen, hat verschiedene Musik-Projekte (George Nussbaumer & Band, George Nussbaumer & Richard Wester, Trio Nussbaumer Weber Kreil, das Randy Newman Project mit Manfred Maurenbrecher und Richard Wester) am Laufen. Und er hat im Frühjahr eine neue CD mit Eigenkompositionen veröffentlicht, deren Titelsong "Did Anybody Say It Would Be Easy" er den Zuhörerinnen und -hörern besonders ans Herz legt.Ein weiterer Song daraus ist eine Zusammenarbeit mit der legendären Ina Wolf, die in den 70ern als Christina Simon in der jungen österreichischen Musikszene eine kleine, feine Karriere gemacht hat, wenn auch "Heute in Jerusalem", der von André Heller getextete Song Contest Beitrag aus dem Jahr 1979, kein Erfolg war. Sie machte später als Song-Schreiberin eine Weltkarriere, lebt mittlerweile aber wieder in ihrer Vorarlberger Heimat. Mit Ina nahm George das Duett "No One Can Say We Didn't Try" auf, und das legen wir von Merci, Cherie euch ans Herz.George Nussbaumer ist auch die Station Voice für Antenne Vorarlberg, seine Stimme ist die der Jingles und Ansagen des Senders. Außerdem sorgte er dafür, dass die Website der Vorarlberger Nachrichten jetzt auch für Blinde barrierefrei zu hören ist.Natürlich müssen wir auch drei Standard-Fragen an George stellen:Sein Song, der ihm beim Song Contest 2021 besonders gefallen hat, war vielleicht... hmmmmWas er in der Minute vor seinem Auftritt getan hat? Zehn Minuten vor dem Auftritt hat er noch Shrimps gegessen. Und im Moment vor dem Auftritt hat er sich gefragt, mit welcher Taste er anfangen muss.Und sein Lieblingslied vom Song Contest aller Zeiten? Ein österreichisches Lied aus den 70ern: Die Schmetterlinge sangen 1977 in Wembley "Boom Boom Boomerang", die wohl erste satirische Nummer des Song Contests.  In der kleinen Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Alkis von einer Einzigartigkeit beim Song Contest 1996. Und was die langjährige Österreichische Unterrichtsministerin Elisabeth Gehrer damit zu tun hatte.

Even though a guest didn't work out last minute, John & Heyang once again walk the radio tightrope without a net, digging into the world of apps, and then it's a retro rewind to everything from transistor radios, to CD's to The Walkman and a myriad of other fodder from "back in the day" when Amazon was just a river. Then the conversation goes to the difficulty humans have discerning reality from produced reality.

Rock N Roll wouldn't exist like it does without these three guys. Because while Chuck Berry and Elvis were ushering in a new age of music. They had a little help from a major invention. We go "Back to the Future" to find out how rock n roll came to be.

For many years in earlier times, the transistor radio was the only way to go if you wanted to take your music with you. Before the days of FM radio stations that dedicated hours to playing full albums, the transistor radio provided music over AM radio, and that was fine. During its heyday, the transistor radio could be found everywhere, from beaches to bedrooms. Sadly, the Sony Walkman in the early 80's was a harbinger of the transistor's ultimate demise. http://ptanpodcast.com/retro-memories

Foundations of Amateur Radio Today I have a confession to make. Looking back it's clear that once your brain goes down a certain path, it's easier to follow the path than to find an alternative one. When I was growing up, above my bed, bolted to the wall were two brackets. On top of those brackets, secured with double-sided tape was a radio-cassette player. If you're unfamiliar with what an audio cassette is, don't worry, this is about the radio side of things and is from the days when Digital Music was not in wide use like it is today. I used this radio to listen to local stations, both on the AM and FM broadcast band, and I managed to even get to the beginning of the FM broadcast band where the police radio happened to be at the time in the country I was living. As years went by, that radio-cassette player was replaced with a radio tuner, then a combined amplifier tuner and I re-programmed it as I moved around the globe with new local stations filling up the quick select button memories. Over the last year or so it occurred to me that my latest device had been sitting inside a box in the garage for the better part of a decade and that the gap was filled by the radio in my car. I would drive somewhere and turn on the radio and listen to something interesting, or something boring, depending on what the airwaves brought to my antenna at the time. I started wanting to listen to the end of interviews, or rock along to some other happy tune when I got home, but I found the transition to be painful. I experimented with streaming radio, spent hours looking for software and currently the best I can do on that front is to have an App on my phone that streams a local radio station. You're likely by now doing one of two things. We'll get to the second one in a moment. The first one is probably going to be along the lines of "Yeah, so, what exactly has this got to do with Amateur Radio again?" If you're not thinking that, you might be thinking something that only occurred to me last week. "Why don't you use your Amateur Radio and tune that to a local broadcast station?" Indeed, why not? I'd never considered that even though my Yaesu FT-857d can tune from 100 KHz through to 470 MHz, covering most of the Amateur Bands, I'd never considered that it would also allow me to listen to a local broadcast station. It's not that I haven't actually tuned to those stations, or listened to the local Air Traffic Control frequencies, or the local Non Directional Beacons when they still existed, it's that those activities were in the context of Amateur Radio, along the lines of propagation, or interesting signals, not background music, or listening to an interview or a talk-back station. I've not yet gone to the trouble of pre-programming those stations, since my Amateur Radio is sensitive enough to pick up stations that my car cannot hear, but the list of frequencies that I'm tuning to during the day, using AM and FM is growing. Shame I can't get FM stereo from my Yaesu radio, perhaps that's something I should play with at some point. So, my second point is, "Duh, my Amateur Radio is also a radio, that you can listen to other broadcast stations with." Of course, it's a pretty pricey transistor radio, or short-wave radio, if you think of it like that, but if you've got it sitting next to you right now, it's simpler than making streaming radio work. I started this with paths travelled and I'll finish with that. When something like this happens, stop for a moment, celebrate the insight, share it with others and who knows what other things will bubble up. When was the last time your brain surprised you and what do you listen to that's not Amateur Radio? Who knows, I might become a short-wave listener yet! I'm Onno VK6FLAB
