Dissertation Cp and Abstract The Recorded Voice and the Mediated Body in Contemporary Canadian Electroacoustic Music by Alexa Lauren Woloshyn A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexa Lauren Woloshyn 2012 The Recorded Voice and the Mediated Body in Contemporary Canadian Electroacoustic Music Alexa Lauren Woloshyn Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once declared: “the human voice is the organ of the soul.” As a powerful signifier, with deep links to human presence, the voice can indicate psychological, emotional and physical states. In the works of contemporary Canadian electroacoustic composers Christian Calon, Robert Normandeau, Tanya Tagaq, Barry Truax, and Hildegard Westerkamp, the mutability of the recorded voice initiates an aesthetic process that constructs this human presence and expresses the composer’s own preoccupation with the body, namely the ageing, social, and erotic (homosexual and heterosexual) body. Through an application of research on electroacoustics, studio technology, gender, sexuality, linguistics, epistemology, and human physiology, I examine how specific works incorporate and modify the voice, and thus construct or conceal its physical origin (i.e., the body); I consider how composers variously highlight, re- construct, or even disentangle the expressive and communicative associations between the voice and the body. ii Rather than summarize numerous electroacoustic works, this dissertation focuses on the aesthetic, technological, and expressive elements of a small number of contemporary Canadian electroacoustic works. I first examine Normandeau’s Onomatopoeias cycle as an artistic exploration of the ageing process that considers both emotional and physical aspects specific to certain developmental stages, including childhood, adolescence, and old age, all with a lens of ironic nostalgia. Next I explore social and sensuous relationships, the unseen interactions between bodies as heard through the recorded voices in Barry Truax’s homoerotic Song of Songs (1992) and Tanya Tagaq’s two studio albums, Sinaa (2005) and Auk/Blood (2008). Finally, I consider how the voice is employed as a vehicle for storytelling and constructing identity in Christian Calon’s Minuit (1989) and Hildegard Westerkamp’s Für Dich – For You (2005) and MotherVoiceTalk (2008). The works are varied, but from the young girl in Éclats de voix (the first work in Normandeau’s Onomatopoeias cycle [1991-2009]) to the grown child and her elderly mother in MotherVoiceTalk, they find a link in human experience. iii Acknowledgements As I have (finally!) arrived at the end of my doctoral studies, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude to all of people who contributed to this process. First, I extend the most heartfelt thanks to Dr. Robin Elliott for being the kind of advisor graduate students pray for. It was our regular meetings and his constant enthusiasm that pushed me through some of the harder days when I felt like I could make no progress. He always had thoughtful insight to help the depth and effectiveness of my analysis. I could not ask for a better mentor or friend. I am also grateful to the members of my committee, Drs. Sherry Lee and Ryan McClelland, for the hours of reading, editing, and discussions they poured into my project. Their probing questions challenged my critical engagement with the material, and their attention to detail helped me greatly to enhance the coherence of my writing. I am deeply appreciative of their constant support and enthusiasm for my research. Many thanks to Dr. Ken McLeod for being the ideal internal reader for my doctoral defense. His thoughtful questions challenge me to further explore the many complex issues raised in my research. Special thanks to Dr. Charity Marsh for not only providing a written report filled with perceptive questions and gracious support, but also for flying to Toronto for my defense. I look forward to reflecting further on her many insights as they relate to my current and future research endeavours. One of my favourite parts of this research was meeting the composers whose music I was analyzing. Many thanks to Barry Truax for inviting me to Vancouver. Throughout the process, he has been generous with his time and resources. He was a gracious host, not only at Simon Fraser University, but also at his Burnaby home. Thanks also to his partner, Guenther Krueger, for iv welcoming me into their home. I must also thank Dr. Robert Normandeau for answering my many emails, and most importantly, for taking an afternoon to meet with me at the Université de Montréal. I am also grateful to both Hildegard Westerkamp and Tanya Tagaq for taking the time to answer my questions. The support and openness of these composers was essential to my project. I thank my roommates, who were witness to the many highs and lows of this process. In particular, I must thank Patricia. She has always been an understanding friend and supportive cheerleader. To the Team: I can’t thank these friends enough for the past four years. Their intellectual brilliance and undying support inspire me to improve myself, as a scholar and as a person. To my Prairie friends: I am so grateful for all the long-distance love and support. I must thank Cameron in particular for all of the times he motivated me to continue working—to take each day at a time. I give a special shout out to Drs. Keith Johnston and Colleen Renihan. I aim to be just a little more like them each day, because they are the kinds of scholars and friends I hope to become. I thank Anna Boyden for motivating me to put the finishing touches on the dissertation with our regular work dates. I cannot express in words my gratitude for Dr. Michelle Boyd. Our work dates, countless trips to Office Bucks for oatmeal and lattes, gym sessions, knitting parties, movies, and piano duets made the final year of writing insane, but fun. Finally, I thank my family for being supportive of all my crazy dreams. I am especially grateful for our time together in Texas when I needed a break during the final stretch. Special thanks to my mom for all of the packages, cards, and cookies that reminded me that distance is no barrier to love. v Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iv Contents vi List of Tables ix List of Figures x Chapter 1 – Canadian Electroacoustic Music and the Voice: Musical, Theoretical, and Methodological Frameworks 1 1.0 Introduction 1 1.1 Conceptual Background 7 1.1.1 Electroacoustic Music 7 1.1.2 Fixed Medium Work 9 1.2 A Musical Lineage: Acousmatique and Soundscape Musics in Canada 16 1.2.1 Schaeffer’s Musique Concrète and Quebec’s Acousmatique 18 1.2.2 World Soundscape Project and Soundscape Composition 20 1.3 Literature Review 21 1. 3.1 Electroacoustic Music: General 21 1. 3.2 Analysis of Electroacoustic Music 22 1. 3.3 Canadian Electroacoustic Music 24 1. 3.4 The Voice and Gender in Electroacoustic Music 26 1.4 Methodology 32 1.4.1 Listener’s Perspective: Hearing Performance and Production 32 1.4.2 Denis Smalley’s Spectromorphology and Indicative Fields 35 1.4.3 Jay Hodgson’s Mix Compass 38 1.4.4 Controlling Gender and Language 41 1.4.5 Intimacy on the Recorded Medium 43 1.4.6 Composers’ Perspectives 45 1.4.7 Ethnography 52 1.5 Chapter Overviews 54 1.6 Conclusion 57 Chapter 2 – The Ageing Voice and Body in Normandeau’s Onomatopoeias Cycle 58 2.0 Introduction 58 2.1 Biography and Background: Robert Normandeau 60 2.2 The Onomatopoeias Cycle 61 2.3 Identity: Something’s Lost and Something’s Gained 70 2.4 Expressive Bodies 83 2.5 Bodies in Crisis 100 2.6 Gaining Perspective: Irony, Nostalgia, and the Cynical Composer 107 2.7 Conclusion 119 vi Chapter 3 – The Voice and the Body as the Studio’s Social and Sensuous Game 122 3.0 Introduction 122 3.0.1 Social and Sensuous Interactions 122 3.0.2 Constructed Social Spaces 124 3.0.3 Intimacy 125 3.1 Sensuality and Homoeroticism in Song of Songs 128 3.1.1 Introduction 128 3.1.2 Compositional Output and Aesthetic Views 129 3.1.3 Background to Song of Songs 133 3.1.4 Source Text: Sensuality in Metaphor 141 3.1.5 Beyond Heterosexuality: Enacting Homoeroticism in Voice and Text 143 3.1.6 The Grain of the Voice 153 3.1.7 The Lovers’ Scene: Absence, Presence, and Place 158 3.1.8 Reflection 163 3.2 “All By Myself”: Re-imagining a Social and Erotic Game in Tagaq’s Music 166 3.2.1 Introduction 166 3.2.2 Career and Artistic Output 167 3.2.3 Background to Sinaa and Auk/Blood 169 3.2.4 Inuit Throat Singing 175 3.2.5 Tagaq’s New Game 182 3.2.6 Tagaq’s Twin Bodies 186 3.2.7 Reflection 194 3.3 Conclusion 196 Chapter 4 – Playing with Words: Electroacoustic Storytelling 201 4.0 Introduction 201 4.0.1 Chapter Overview 201 4.0.2 Private vs. Public Space in Electroacoustic Music 203 4.0.3 The Voice and Storytelling in Electroacoustic Music: Authority, Agency, and Gender 206 4.1 The Mortality of the Word and the Body in Christian Calon’s Minuit (1989) 210 4.1.1 Introduction 210 4.1.2 Background and Aesthetics: Creative Motivations 211 4.1.3 Overview: Minuit 214 4.1.4 Storytelling and Narrative in Minuit 217 4.1.5 Bataille and Eroticism 225 4.1.6 Calon’s Discontinuous Beings 228 4.1.7 Reflection 230 4.2 Feels like Home: Love and Belonging in Hildegard Westerkamp’s Für Dich – For You (2005) and MotherVoiceTalk (2008) 232 4.2.1 Introduction 232 4.2.2 Biography, Aesthetics, and Output 234 vii 4.2.3 Für Dich – For You 242 4.2.3.1 Background to Für Dich – For You 242 4.2.3.2 The Source Text: Rainer

  • UBC High Notes
    UBC High Notes 2009-2010 Season UBC High Notes The newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia I am delighted to welcome you to the eleventh edition of High Notes, in which we celebrate the recent activities and major achievements of faculty, staff and students in the UBC School of Music. I hope you enjoy this snapshot, which captures the diversity, quality, and impact of our activities and contributions — we are a vibrant community of creators, performers, and scholars! I warmly invite you to read about the School of Music in these pages, and to attend many of our performances in the coming months and years. The 2009-10 year is a significant anniversary for the School. UBC established its Department of Music in 1947 under the leadership of Harry Adaskin, and initially offered B.A. degrees with a major in Music. The Bachelor of Music degree was then developed with the first students entering in September 1959 (by which time the faculty also included other Canadian musical trailblazers like Jean Coulthard and Bar- bara Pentland). These 50 years have witnessed an impressive expansion in our degree programs, so that we now offer Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs in performance, music education, composition, music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. What started with a few dozen students has grown into a dynamic and diverse community of over 300 undergraduates and 130 graduate students. Music is thriving at UBC, and we continue to witness exciting increases in the size, quality, and scope of our programs. Our 50th Anniversary year is an opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the generous support the School has received from many donors, and with admiration on the countless contributions to musical performance and education that scores of faculty and thousands of alumni have made over the past five decades — throughout BC, across Canada, and around the world.

  • Turned Adventurer in Her Stanford Home Studio
    MOUNTAINVIEWVOICE SECTION"SUT&WFOUT By Rebecca Wallace now in August. Grizzly bears paw- ing the moss for food. Icebergs and Sice cliffs and a raucous river. In the middle of it all, there was Sukey Bryan, unscrolling thick rolls of paper on the ground to draw and paint Alaska. She was doing a 10-day artist resi- "SUJTU dency in the Denali National Park and Preserve, gathering sketches and quick acrylic paintings that she would later use to create her oil paintings and prints back turned adventurer in her Stanford home studio. She was also taking photos, thousands of them. “It was such a profound feeling to be alone in such wild immensity. I just can’t shake it,” Bryan later wrote in an artist’s statement. Three years later, those 10 days con- tinue to yield rich inspiration for Bryan, as seen in her prints and giant paintings of ice formations, waterfalls, peaks, rivers and snow. She’s exhibiting sev- eral works this fall at the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View in a Mohr Gallery solo show called “Glacier Works.” Sukey Bryan The show runs through Nov. 27 at CSMA, 230 San Antonio Circle. Works will include “Ice Walls,” a trip- tych of oil paintings depicting the chilly blues of ice walls above a river floating with ice chunks. The darknesses buried in the blues hint at the cliffs’ depths, the silt in the ice and the mud in the water. “The ice has a strangeness to it,” Bryan says in her studio, a converted, comfortably large garage with natural light and sweeping white walls.

  • Tukitaaqtuq Explain to One Another, Reach Understanding, Receive Explanation from the Past and the Eskimo Identification Canada System
    Tukitaaqtuq explain to one another, reach understanding, receive explanation from the past and The Eskimo Identification Canada System by Norma Jean Mary Dunning A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta ©Norma Jean Mary Dunning, 2014 ABSTRACT The government of Canada initiated, implemented, and officially maintained the ‘Eskimo Identification Canada’ system from 1941-1971. With the exception of the Labrador Inuit, who formed the Labrador Treaty of 1765 in what is now called, NunatuKavat, all other Canadian Inuit peoples were issued a leather-like necklace with a numbered fibre-cloth disk. These stringed identifiers attempted to replace Inuit names, tradition, individuality, and indigenous distinctiveness. This was the Canadian governments’ attempt to exert a form of state surveillance and its official authority, over its own Inuit citizenry. The Eskimo Identification Canada system, E- number, or disk system eventually became entrenched within Inuit society, and in time it became a form of identification amongst the Inuit themselves. What has never been examined by an Inuk researcher, or student is the long-lasting affect these numbered disks had upon the Inuit, and the continued impact into present-day, of this type of state-operated system. The Inuit voice has not been heard or examined. This research focuses exclusively on the disk system itself and brings forward the voices of four disk system survivors, giving voice to those who have been silenced for far too long. i PREFACE This thesis is an original work by Norma Dunning. The research project, of which this thesis is a part, received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board, Project Name: “Tukitaaqtuq (they reach understanding) and the Eskimo Identification Canada system,” PRO00039401, 05/07/2013.
