Music 80C History and Literature of Electronic Music Tuesday/Thursday, 1-4PM Music Center 131
Music 80C History and Literature of Electronic Music Tuesday/Thursday, 1-4PM Music Center 131 Instructor: Madison Heying Email: [email protected] Office Hours: By Appointment Course Description: This course is a survey of the history and literature of electronic music. In each class we will learn about a music-making technique, composer, aesthetic movement, and the associated repertoire. Tests and Quizzes: There will be one test for this course. Students will be tested on the required listening and materials covered in lectures. To be prepared students must spend time outside class listening to required listening, and should keep track of the content of the lectures to study. Assignments and Participation: A portion of each class will be spent learning the techniques of electronic and computer music-making. Your attendance and participation in this portion of the class is imperative, since you will not necessarily be tested on the material that you learn. However, participation in the assignments and workshops will help you on the test and will provide you with some of the skills and context for your final projects. Assignment 1: Listening Assignment (Due June 30th) Assignment 2: Field Recording (Due July 12th) Final Project: The final project is the most important aspect of this course. The following descriptions are intentionally open-ended so that you can pursue a project that is of interest to you; however, it is imperative that your project must be connected to the materials discussed in class. You must do a 10-20 minute in class presentation of your project. You must meet with me at least once to discuss your paper and submit a ½ page proposal for your project. -

Bird in a Cage Senior Workshop Plan Revision
Tic Ashfield Music"WSA Senior School Choral Workshop A Bird In A Cage The following document details an outline for creative musical composition workshops, aimed at student between the ages of 14 - 18. Although the workshops are specific to the A Bird In A Cage project many of the ideas and techniques designed to encourage the students to create their own music within a group setting are entirely transferable and could be employed within a different workshop setting. The workshops aim to facilitate song writing as well as encouraging more advanced musical compositional skills with reference to idiom, harmonic language, compositional technique and historical context. Furthermore it aims to inspire artistic creativity through the employment of graphic notation whilst emphasising the importance of working effectively and creatively in a group. Although technology is not an absolute necessity in regards to the running of this workshop, in this instant music technology is incorporated towards the end of the session to record the music created by the young musicians. If you do not wish to utilise technology in the workshops the suggested timings may require amendment.

The technological boom during and following the Second World War provided composers with a new wave of electronic devices that put a wealth of new, truly twentieth-century sounds at their disposal. Percussionists, by virtue of their longstanding relationship to new sounds and their ability to decipher complex parts for a bewildering variety of instruments, have been a favored recipient of what has become known as electroacoustic music. -

An Examination of Jerry Goldsmith's
THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, ESCAPING EARTH AND TONALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF JERRY GOLDSMITH’S TWELVE-TONE SCORE FOR PLANET OF THE APES VINCENT GASSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY 2019 © VINCENT GASSI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Jerry GoldsMith’s twelve-tone score for Planet of the Apes (1968) stands apart in Hollywood’s long history of tonal scores. His extensive use of tone rows and permutations throughout the entire score helped to create the diegetic world so integral to the success of the filM. GoldsMith’s formative years prior to 1967–his training and day to day experience of writing Music for draMatic situations—were critical factors in preparing hiM to meet this challenge. A review of the research on music and eMotion, together with an analysis of GoldsMith’s methods, shows how, in 1967, he was able to create an expressive twelve-tone score which supported the narrative of the filM. The score for Planet of the Apes Marks a pivotal moment in an industry with a long-standing bias toward modernist music. iii For Mary and Bruno Gassi. The gift of music you passed on was a game-changer. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Heartfelt thanks and much love go to my aMazing wife Alison and our awesome children, Daniela, Vince Jr., and Shira, without whose unending patience and encourageMent I could do nothing. I aM ever grateful to my brother Carmen Gassi, not only for introducing me to the music of Jerry GoldsMith, but also for our ongoing conversations over the years about filM music, composers, and composition in general; I’ve learned so much. -

Introduction SCI-FIDELITY Music, Sound and Genre History PHILIP HAYWARD 19 77, the Harlesden Roxy in London. The Clash is playing a sell-out gig at the peak of the early buzz around the band's edgy, energetic new wave sound. Entering the auditorium shortly before the band take the stage I'm hit by a monstrously loud, multiply echoing burst of dub reggae percussion, then the horns come in, jazzily, evoking 1960s' ska at the same time as they nail the identity of the tune. The track is the 12 inch vinyl single Ska Wars by Rico Rodrigues, a recording that updates the Jamaican fascination with popular western cinema previously celebrated by artists such as Prince Buster, with his tribute to Hollywood gangster movies Al Capone (196 7), or the spaghetti western/Sergio Leone fascination explored in The Up setter's Return of Django album (1969). The white punk association with a version of the Star Wars theme is significant in that Rodrigues's engagement with Hollywood Sci-Fi music even works in the environment of a Clash gig, in which both popular music culture ("No Elvis, Beatles or Rolling Stones in 1977" [1977)) and American cultural imperialism ("I'm so bored with the USA" [eponymous]) are triumphantly disavowed in favour of cultural allusions and affinities to Jamaican roots reggae and Rastafarianism. -
The Sound of Futures Past
The Sound of Futures Past Ian Helm First published at “Wearemusicgeeks.com”, May 2008 Last month Bebe Barron, a pioneer of electronic music, passed away at the age of 82. Along with husband Louis, she translated the groundbreaking cybernetics work of mathematician Norbert Wiener in the late 1940’s into one of, if not the, earliest experiments in using electronic circuits to produce sound. While Louis created the circuits, Bebe recorded and archived the sounds being created, a necessary documentation as, because of the crude nature of these early circuits, the act of using the devices physically destroyed them, making each effect unrepeatable except by recording on magnetic tape. Keep in mind that this was years before even the most primitive synthesizer existed, and these two were humble music students from the University of Chicago who had received a tape recorder as a wedding present. They had an interest in the burgeoning field of musique concrete, a soldering iron and a reel-to-reel; with this humble assortment, they essentially invented an entire genre of music. While Louis Barron was the engineer of the duo, Bebe was the composer- tasked with delving through hours and hours of tape, she slowly assembled not necessarily “songs” by the traditional sense, but what would come to be known modernly as “soundscapes”, piece by piece from what she herself described as “dirty noise”. To provide rhythm to her compositions, Bebe invented the tape loop, years before Les Paul’s multi track recording and other studio production concepts became a reality. Tape had to be physically cut and spliced by hand, individual sounds located and marked, in a laborious process that took months, and resulted in a product so ahead of its time it was almost assuredly commercially unviable. -
